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>

What is the solution to StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction x minus one-third greater-than 1 and one-third?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is x > 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{5}{6} x - \dfrac{1}{3} > 1\dfrac{1}{3}

An inequality compares two quantities unlike an equality. An inequality is written with either a greater than ( > ) or lower than ( < ) or greater than equal to ( \geq ) or less than equal to ( \leq ) signs. We solve the above given inequality to find the solutions of the unknown x.

\dfrac{5}{6} x - \dfrac{1}{3} > 1\dfrac{1}{3} \\\dfrac{5}{6} x - \dfrac{1}{3} > \dfrac{4}{3} \\\dfrac{5}{6} x > \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{4}{3} \\\dfrac{5}{6} x > \dfrac{5}{3}\\x > 2

Firstly we change the right hand side quantity to fraction.

We then transfer the - \frac{1}{3} to the right hand side and add them. The inequality sign does not change as we are simply adding or subtracting terms from both the ends.

Finally we divide both sides with \frac{6}{5} to get the required solution. The inequality sign does not change as we are multiplying both the ends with a positive quantity.

This gives us the answer as x > 2.
