A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.
You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.
One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.
Step-by-step explanation:
yes because 61 is less than 87
Parallel Lines: lines in a plane which do not meet. they do not intersect at any point, so your answer is B.
Answer:
108 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's convert 6% to a decimal.
We get 0.06 because we multiplied (or divided by 100) it by 1/100.
Now, let's do 0.06 * 300 to get interest on one year. This equals to 18$
Let's now do 18 * 6 to get
108 dollars
Answer:
6.25 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
Let L be the length of the ramp in feet.
We have been given that steel loading ramps are used to load a lawn mower onto a truck bed 37.5 inches above the ground. The ramp make a 30° angle with the ground.
We can see from our attachment that ramp and truck bed forms a right triangle with ground. The truck bed is opposite side and length of ramp is hypotenuse of our given angle.
Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to solve for L.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,
Therefore, the length of the ramp is 75 inches.
Let us convert the length of ramp in feet.
1 feet = 12 inches.
Therefore, the length of the ramp is 6.25 feet.
