Can someone explain and give an example of spurious correlation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A spurious correlation wrongly implies a cause and effect between two variables. For example, the number of astronauts dying in spacecraft is directly correlated to seatbelt use in cars: Use your seatbelt and save an astronaut life!

Interesting correlations are easy to find, but many will turn out to be spurious. Three examples are the skirt length theory, the Super Bowl indicator, and a suggested correlation between race and college completion rates.

Penny attended a four year state college. She took out a student loan to pay for her tuition and room & board for the four years she was attending the college. Her tuition fees were $6,970 per year, and the cost of her room and board was $11,320 per year. Now that she has graduated, she will have to start paying back her loan. Fortunately, Penny has a grace period of one year before she has to start paying back the loan. Her loan details are as follows: there is a fixed-rate interest of 4.5% and the interest compounds each month. During her one year grace period, interest will accrue on the loan, so that when she has to start paying the loan back she will owe more than what she owes now. Her goal is to be able to payoff the loan in 10 years.

Given all of this information, answer the following questions:

1. What is the original loan amount, i.e. how much were the total costs for tuition plus room & board for the four years that Penny attended the college?

2. What is the new loan amount after the one-year grace period (remember that interest will accrue on the loan during this initial 12-month period that she is not paying anything back on the loan)? This is the amount that she will be responsible for paying back. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar)

3. Given that she can pay back the loan in full after 10 years of payments, what is the total amount she will end up paying back (both principal and interest that has accrued over the 10 years)? And how much will her monthly payments on the loan be for those 10 years? (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar)

1/2 B * h of that triangle get you to [tex]8\sqrt{3}[/tex]

just subtract the two areas

Answer:

(B) 28√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of quadrilateral ABED is equal to the area of triangle CDE subtracted from the area of triangle ABC.

Area of triangle CDE:

Triangle ABC is equilateral. All sides have length 12.

AB = BC = AC = 12

BE = 8

BE + EC = BC

8 + EC = 12

EC = 4

In an equilateral triangle, all angles measure 60°.

m<C = 60°

m<CDE = 30°

Triangle CDE is a 30-60-90 triangle.

DE = EC√3

DE = 4√3

area of triangle CDE = bh/2

area of triangle CDE = (EC)(DE)/2

area of triangle CDE = (4)(4√3)/2

area of triangle CDE = 8√3

Area of triangle ABC:

Side AC is a base of triangle ABC.

AC = 12

(1/2)AC = 6

The altitude of triangle ABC from side AC to vertex B measures

h = 6√3

area of triangle ABC = bh/2

area of triangle ABC = (AC)(h)/2

area of triangle ABC = (12)(6√3)/2

area of triangle ABC = 36√3

area of quadrilateral ABED = area of triangle ABC - area of triangle CDE

area of quadrilateral ABED = 36√3 - 8√3

area of quadrilateral ABED = 28√3

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

To round your answer, you check the tenths place to see if it is under 5 or above 5. If it is under 5, your answer will stay in the number the hundreds place is in currently. If it is above 5, you will add one to the hundreds place.

312: there is one in the tenths place, so it will stay as 300.

138: there is three in the tenths place, so it will stay as 100.

207: there is a zero in the tenths place, so it will stay as 200.

If you are doing it with the one's place, it is the same method. Either round up or down.

300 + 100 + 200 = 600

The answer is 600.

Answers

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest tenth, 7.4 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyrone has a rectangular storage unit. We are given the width and the diagonal length.

So we can use Pythagorean Theorem.

3^2 + b^2 = 8^2

9 + b^2 = 64

subtract 9 from both sides

b^2 = 55

b = sqrt55

b is around 7.4161984871, so b rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.4 feet long.

Answer:

$32.07

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure - are we seeing the full information about this problem ?

because the problem description is strangely vague and confusing, as it uses "total cost" two times for not the same thing ...

either total cost means including tax or not including tax. but it cannot mean both ...

I think the most likely understanding of this problem is that the first price is without tax, and now we need to calculate and add the extra 6% tax to get the really total price to be paid.

I will solve this now based on this assumption.

100% = $30.25

1% = 100%/100 = 30.25/100 = $0.3025

6% = 6×1% = 6×0.3025 = $1.815 ≈ $1.82

the total price is then calculated either by

100% + 6%

or by

106% = 100%×1.06 = 30.25×1.06 = $32.065 ≈ $32.07

in both cases we get the same result, of course.

Answers

Answer:

A.Line

Step-by-step explanation:

The locus of points in a plane equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7) is describe by the Line. so option A is correct.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either ends).

We know that the graph of x = 5 is the vertical line through 5 on the x-axis. Two points on this line are (-5, -6) and (-5, 7).

We form a horizontal line through (0,1) and (1,1). This is the locus of points equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7)

We have parallel lines like this, the locus of points equidistant from the two lines is always one single line, and it's the middle line as described above.

This applies to diagonal parallel lines as well, and vertical parallel lines.

Hence, The locus of points in a plane equidistant between (-5, -6) and (-5, 7) is describe by the Line. so option A is correct.
