Answer:
Correlation does not mean <em>causation</em> even after having a relatively high correlation coefficient as a result.
Step-by-step explanation:
Correlation and causation are not the same. Correlation does not mean that variations in one variable <em>cause</em> variations in the second variable. Instead, correlation considers that variations in one variable <em>corresponds</em> with variations of the second variable. No more.
Correlation is an important first step to establish that one variable possibly can cause some effect on the other, but it is not a definitive answer to this question. It is crucial to find other possible factors that can explain what causes some effect.
As a conclusion, a positive and relative high correlation coefficient does not necessarily mean causation. It simply tells us that some study found that people that listen to loud music are also people with poor hearing problems, and possibly a cause to the latter variable is to listen loud music repeatedly, but it is a must to find other possible factors before definitely concluding that.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't expect to get exactly 2500 out of 5000 tosses more than a few times . You will come pretty close, but that's only good in horseshoes.
Of course I'm answering this on the basis of a computer language and not actually performinig this a million tmes, each part of a million consisting of 5000 tosses.
Simulations and not completely unbiased, but based on experience, 5000 is a very small number and getting 2500 more than a couple of times is unlikely
Answer:
30.1 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a school flag poll casts a 16 foot shadow on the lawn. A teacher stood at the shadows edge and measure the angle of elevation to the top of the poll at 62°. We are asked to find the height of the tall.
First of all, we will draw a diagram to represent our give scenario as shown in the attachment.
We can see that side length with 16 feet is adjacent side and height of the pole (h) is opposite side to angle of elevation.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.
Therefore, the poll is approximately 30.1 feet tall.
77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
