Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  researcher measures IQ and weight for a group of college students.

In general, we think that the weight has nothing to do with IQ of a person and hence not correlated.

But if we go deep, we find that after a certain weight, the person becomes lazy and inactive with a chance to have reduced IQ

Weight gain causes also health problems including less activity of both brain and body and hence there is a chance for less IQ

So we find that as weight increases iq decreases and when weight decreases, IQ increases.

Thus we can say that there is a negative correlation but not necessarily near to one.

Hence option b is right

Solve the equation or inequality 3/2t-16=4/3t-6
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em>t=60</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2t-16=4/3t-6

(subtract 4/3t from both sides)

3/2t-16-4/3t=-6

(add 16 to both sides)

3/2t-4/3t=-6+16

(simplify)

1/6t=10

(divide by 1/6 (or multiply by 6 on both sides)

t=60
