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.
A = $ 861.69
Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 5.5%/100 = 0.055 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
1 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 0.25 years,
then, solving our equation
A = 850(1 + (0.055 × 0.25)) = 861.6875
A = $ 861.69
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 850.00
at a rate of 5.5% per year
for 0.25 years (1 quarters) is $ 861.69.

Answer:
- parallelogram
- x = 5
- 60 units
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Opposite sides are the same length, so the figure is a parallelogram.
__
B. Diagonals of a parallelogram cross at their midpoints, so ...
9x +3 = 10x -2
5 = x . . . . . . . . add 2-9x to both sides
__
C. The longer side is 12x = 12(5) = 60 . . . . units
10/12 and 3/12 6 x 2=12, what you do to the bottom you do to the top 5 x 2= 10 4 x 3=12, what you to the bottom you do to the top 1 x 3=3
