Sarah described the following situation: When more apples grew in the backyard, the pet cat stayed indoors for a longer time. Which of the following best describes the situation? This is an example of correlation because there is an obvious relationship between the two scenarios. This is an example of causation because apples cause cats to stay indoors. This is an example of correlation because apples cause cats to stay indoors. This is an example of causation because cats dislike apples.

step-by-step explanation:

i believe it is 0.1m because the measurement of 30.4m limits how precise you can be

you can only be as precise as the least precise measurement

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

2y+y=5

add 2y and y
