It is usually noted that correlation does not imply causation, but there are some correlations which are causation as well.

A correlation is when there is a relationship between two variables while causation is when the outcome of one variable affects the outcome of the other variable.

From the first option, though there may be a positive relationship between sales of jeans and sales of slacks, but the purchase of jeans does not mean that you have to purchase a slack, thus, there is no causation.

For the second option, though there may be positive relationship between <span>the number of aisles and the number of products in a supermarket, but a supermarket can have many aisles with few products, i.e. many aisles does not automatically imply many products, thus, there is no causation.

For the third option, though there may be a positive relationship between </span><span>the number of swimmers and the number of sunbathers at a beach, but all swimmers in a beach are not sunbathers and all sunbathers are not swimmers. Thus, a swimmer does not imply a sunbather and a sunbather does not imply a swimmer. Thus, there is no causation.

For the last option, it is generally known that the more you practice an activity, the better you get in that activity. Thus, there exist a relationship between </span><span>the number of hours spent practicing archery and the number of bull's-eyes an archer can hit and there also exist causation because the number of bull's-eye an archer can hit is directly dependent on the number of hours the archer spent practicing.

Therefore, the </span><span>correlation that is most likely a causation is </span><span>the positive correlation between the number of hours spent practicing archery and the number of bull's-eyes the archer can hit.</span>

Find the surface area of a triangular prism that has the following dimensions. Use the formula SA = 2B + Ph.
OverLord2011 [107]
Answer: The surface area of the triangular prism is 448 square millimeters.

To find the surface area, we just need to input our values into the formula that is given.

SA = 2B + Ph
SA = 2(84) + 56(5)
SA = 168 + 280
SA = 448

The final surface area is 448 mm^2.

Someone please help!!! VERY URGENTTT
katovenus [111]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

For these questions, you have to first find the probability of each event individually occuring then multiply these two probabilities together. So, lets first find the probability of Event 1 occuring (rolling a number higher than 1). On a dice, we know that there are 6 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of which the numbers 5 and 6 are higher than 4. Therefore, the proability of Event 1 occuring is 2/6 = 1/3. Now, we find the probability of event 2 occuring.

We know that there are 3 options on the spinner that the arrow can land on. It is also evident that they all have the same chance of landing on it. Therefore, the possibility is 1/3.

Now that we have both of our probabilities, we multiply the answer together.

Therefore, our answer will be:

1/3 x 1/3, which gives 1/9.
