A strong positive correlation means that as one variable increases so does the other and that they do so in a linear relationship. So what this means is that “as the rainfall increases, the number of peaches a tree produces increases.”
It does not mean that the rainfall causes the tree to produce more peaches. The correlation only establishes that the two variables are related in that one increases as the other does. It is NOT the case that this means for sure one causes the other. We cannot assume causality when using a correlation.
It might be that the rain causes more peaches to grown or it might be that some other factor or combination of factors causes the growth. We just do not know.
Answer:
975 students
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a dense question. Let's look at it piece by piece:
1. The ratio of boys to students in the class is 10/25. If there are 25 students and 15 girls, that leaves 10 boys.
2. The question says that the ratio is in proportion of boys to total students in the school. "In proportion" in this case means that if we convert 10/25 to a fraction with numerator 390, the denominator is the amount of students in school.
3. 10x39=390. What you do the numerator you must do to the denominator: 25x39=975.
4. This means 975 students go to the school.
Slope = rise/run = 10/50 = 1/5
Answer:
9 ft and 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 12 inches in a foot
1ft = 12in
2ft = 24 in
3ft = 36 in
4ft = 48
and so on
9 ft = 108 inches which is the closes to 117.
So we have 9 ft
subtract 117 from 108, which is 9 inches left over
Step-by-step explanation:
8.3 = 8+ 0.3
= 8 + 3/10
= 8 3/10
