A study was done on the batting averages for two baseball players: Hitmore and Bunter. Data were collected over a period of time for baseball parks that are natural and artificial turf. It was found that Hitmore does better overall (.e., has a better batting average). However, for both natural and artificial turf separately, Bunter does better. Which of the following is correct? This is an example of a negative association between variables.
This is an example of Simpson's Paradox.
"Turf" is a lurking variable in this example
Both (B) and (C) are correct
This situation is mathematically impossible

Both (B) and (C) are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining in simple terms, The Simpson's paradox simply describes a phenomenon which occurs when observable trends in a relationship, which are obvious during singular evaluation of the variables disappears when each of this relationships are combined. This is what played out when hitmire appears to d well on both of natyraknamd artificial turf when separately compared, but isn't the same when the turf data was combined. Also, performance may actually not be related to the turf as turf may Just be. a lurking variable causing a spurious association in performance.

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
