Which correlation is most likely a causation?

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>

Solve 5x+4y=-30<br> 3x-9y=-18<br> Solve using the elimination method
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-coefficients have opposite signs, so we can eliminate y-terms by multiplying both equations by a positive number and adding the results.

9 times the first equation plus 4 times the second gives ...

  9(5x +4y) +4(3x -9y) = 9(-30) +4(-18)

  45x +36y +12x -36y = -270 -72 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  57x = -342 . . . . . collect terms

  x = -6 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

__

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  5(-6) +4y = -30

  4y = 0 . . . . . . . . . add 30

  y = 0

The solution is (x, y) = (-6, 0).

In a group of 60 students, 12 students take Algebra I, 18 students take Algebra II, and 8 students take both subjects. How many
vodomira [7]
Since 8 students take both, that leaves only 4 students who take Algebra I alone.
Likewise since 8 students take both, that leaves 10 who only take Algebra 2
So out of the 60, twenty two are taking either Alg I Alg Ii or both.

That leaves 38 people who are not taking either.
b. 38

You can set this up using a 2 circle venn diagram.  Just be sure to put the 8 who take both in first.

Dana surveyed 20 students in total and out of those 20 only 8 got an A

so:

\frac{8}{20} now if you simplify it \frac{4}{10} and if you simplify it again:

\frac{2}{5} or 0.4 in decimal
