<h2>
Answer:</h2>
<em><u>Recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,</u></em>

<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In the question,
The number of interaction for 1 child = 0
Number of interactions for 2 children = 1
Number of interactions for 3 children = 5
Number of interaction for 4 children = 14
So,
We need to find out the pattern for the recursive equation for the given conditions.
So,
We see that,

Therefore, on checking, we observe that,

On checking the equation at the given values of 'n' of, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 1</u>

which is true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 2</u>

Which is also true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 3</u>

Which is true.
<u>At, </u>
<u>n = 4</u>

This is also true at the given value of 'n'.
<em><u>Therefore, the recursive equation for the pattern followed is given by,</u></em>

Is that all the information ? I think they’re missing something
The maximum positive value that the correlation coefficient can have is 1.
Thus, 0.88 is pretty close, indicating a positive slope for the regression line and points lying close to that line.
