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:
<h2>x² = -3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
In algebra, the goal is always to isolate the variable, so its value can be determined.
<h3>Step 1: Subtract 21</h3>
7x² = -21
<h3>Step 2: Divide by 7</h3>
x² = -3
<h3>Step 3: Check</h3>
7(-3) + 21 = 0
0 = 0 ✔
<h3>Step 4: Answer</h3>
x² = -3
I'm always happy to help :)
Answer:
420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by converting each to the same unit. I will be using meters.
0.04 km
1 km = 1000 meters
1000 meters / 1 km = 1
multiply 0.04 km by 1 = 1000 meters / 1 km , keeping the km at the bottom to cross out
0.04 km * 1000 meters / 1 km = 40 meters
420 cm
100 cm = 1 meter
1 meter / 100 cm = 1
multiply 420 cm by this, keeping cm at the bottom so it crosses out
420 cm * 1 meter / 100 cm = 4.2 meters
4600 mm
1000 mm = 1 meter
1 meter / 1000 mm = 1
4600 mm * 1 meter / 1000 mm = 4.6 meters
Therefore, our order is
420 cm, 4.3 meters, 4600 mm, 0.04 km
Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.
My answer and workings are below...
35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.
210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.
*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.
Alternative way to solve the problem...
Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.
Ok, so remember the exponentioal law that says

so
