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.

Answer: The greatest depth of the Southern Ocean is 7.24
Step-by-step explanation:
So, if you add all the greatest depths up, you get 33.23
(33.23 + x)/5 = 8.094
Multiply each side by 5
33.23 + x = 40.47
Subtract 33.23 from each side
x = 7.24
You can check this by adding all the numbers up and dividing them by 5
40.47/5 = 8.094
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is y = mx + b
m being the slope, rise over run. And b being the y-intercept. Right off the bat we can visually see the y-intercept is -4.
To find slope, we need to take two sets of coords and apply the slope fomula. The slope fomula is change in y divided by the change in x. The function itself is straight, so that means the slope will be the exact same no matter which points you choose.
(4, -1) and (8, 2) are coords on the line. Do 2 - (-1) to get 3. then do 8 - 4 to get 4. Finally, we just gotta do 3/4 which is simply 
.
We have the slope of 3/4 and we have the y-intercept of -4. Just plug it in the standard formula of y = mx + b to get:
the answer will be A. its the right answer
