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.
Answer:
1st option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 5y = 19 → (1)
y = 3x - 3 → (2)
Substitute y = 3x - 3 into (1)
2x + 5(3x - 3) = 19
Answer:
<h2><em>
2x-4</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = Length * Width
Given parameters
Area A = 8x2 – 10x – 12
Length of the rectangle = 4x+3
Required
Width of the rectangle.
Substituting the given parameters into the formula
8x2 – 10x – 12 = (4x+3)*width
width = 8x2 – 10x – 12
/4x+3
S
Factorizing the numerator
8x² – 10x – 12
= 2(4x²-5x-6)
= 2(4x²-8x+3x-6)
= 2(4x(x-2)+3(x-2))
= 2(4x+3)(x-2)
Width = 2(4x+3)(x-2)/4x+3
Width = 2(x-2)
Width = 2x-4
<em>Hence the width of the rectangle is 2x-4</em>
H(t) = 0 for t = 7 and for t = -2.
It is reasonable for the time to be positive, 7 seconds.
(The offered answers all appear to be negative, so none are reasonable.)
$230 divided by 1/4 = 57.5
