Answer:
Both positive correlations and negative correlations (when one variable increases as the other decreases) can be found everywhere you look. For example, when you spend more time in sunlight, your chances of getting a sunburn also go up. More examples of positive correlations include:
The more time you spend running on a treadmill, the more calories you will burn.
The longer your hair grows, the more shampoo you will need.
Step-by-step explanation:
21,23,23,27,29,29,33,33,34,36,37,38,39,40,41,43,44,45,56,56
The minimum is the lowest number in the data set. Since it is listed from smallest to largest, we know that the minimum is 21. The median is the middle number. Cancel out 9 numbers from each side and add the two numbers 36+37 then divide the answer by 2 to get the median.Therefore, the median is 36.5
The maximum is the highest number in the data set; it is 56.

Answer:
The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,
X Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.
The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.
A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.
It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.
In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.
The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.
The criteria are:
- Number of observations is constant
- Independent trials
- Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
- Same probability of success for each trial
Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
