4. Which situation best demonstrates the phrase "correlation is not causation"?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by analyzing if the event causes the result. If it does not, then there is correlation but not necessarily causation

A. Event: Rainfall. Result: Water level rises

Does rainfall cause an increase in water level? Yes, so this is incorrect

B. Event: Temperature increase. Result: Ice melting

Does an increase in temperature cause ice to melt faster? Yes, so this is incorrect

C. Event: More people have vision loss. Result: Hearing aids sales increase

Does more people having vision loss cause hearing aids sales to increase? No, vision loss does not cause a need for hearing aids -- hearing loss would, but vision loss does not. This is correct

D. Event: A student makes fewer mistakes. Result: A better grade

Do fewer mistakes cause better grades? Yes, so this is incorrect

What did this person do wrong? Honestly really stuck and do not remember geometry!
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle altitude theorem, the correct proportions are:

\dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{AC}{AD}

\dfrac{AB}{x} = \dfrac{x}{AD}

\dfrac{25}{x} = \dfrac{x}{16}

x^2 = 25 \times 16

x = 20

AC = 20 cm

\dfrac{AB}{CB} = \dfrac{CB}{DB}

\dfrac{AB}{y} = \dfrac{y}{DB}

\dfrac{25}{y} = \dfrac{y}{9}

y^2 = 25 \times 9

y = 15

CB = 15 cm

What is 8x8x8x8x8x8x8? I don't have a calculator! Please help!
grin007 [14]
It is also the same as 8 to the power of 7
which looks something like this 8^7
you can also do it by doing 64×64×64×8
then do 64×64
multiply that answer by 64
multiply that answer by 8
this will work with any question and you can do it without a calculator and on paper.

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 4x – 5y = -10 through the point (2, 3). explain please
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

y =-5/4x +11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope of the line

4x-5y = 10

Solve for y

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x-5y =-4x-10

-5y = -4x-10

Divide by -5

-5y/-5 = -4x/-5 -10/-5

y = 4/5x +2

The slope is 4/5

The slope of a line that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal

m perpendicular = - (5/4)

We know have a slope = -5/4 and a point (2,3)

We can use the point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3 = -5/4 (x-2)

Distribute

y-3 =-5/4x +10/4

Add 3 to each side

y-3+3 = -5/4 x +5/2 +3

Get a common denominator

y = -5/4x +5/2 +6/2

y =-5/4x +11/2

Triangle BCD is similar to triangle ACE. If the triangles are isosceles, what is the length of AB?
zzz [600]

\frac{2.75}{22}  =  \frac{5}{ac}  \\ ac = 5 \div ( \frac{2.75}{22} )  = 40 \\ ab = 40 - 5 = 35
Correspondind sides, similar triangles
