Elevation above sea level and temperature are negatively-correlated variables. Which of the following statements describes the relationship between the variable?
As elevation increases, temperature decreases.
As elevation increases, temperature increases.
An elevation decrease, temperature remains the same
As elevation decrease, temperature decreases.
<p>Elevation above sea level and temperature are negatively-correlated variables. Which of the following statements describes the relationship between the variable?</p>
Correct Answer : A
In a negatively-correlated variables, a change in one variable result in opposite change in the other variable. In other words, an increase in on variable results in a decrease in the other.
Now let’s analyze the given scenarios:
As elevation increases, temperature decreases is a NEGATIVE CORRELATION
As elevation increases, temperature increases is a POSITIVE CORRELATION
As elevation decreases, temperature remains the same this is NO-CORRELATION
As elevation decreases, temperature decreases is a POSITIVE CORRELATION

Here are the calculations for the gumballs:
- Total Gumballs: 120
- Red Gumballs: 20% of 120 = 24
- Orange Gumballs: 30% of 120 = 36
- Yellow Gumballs: 5% of 120 = 6
- Green Gumballs: 10% of 120 = 12
- Blue Gumballs: 120−(24+36+6+12) =42
Difference
The difference between the number of blue gumballs and yellow gumballs is: 42 − 6=36
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Use the order of operations to solve the given equation. The acronym PEDMAS will help us to solve the given problem.
P- Parenthesis
E-Exponents
D-Divide
M-Multiply
A-Add
S-Subtract
From the given equation start with solving
12 ÷3*4-1+23
Next, carry out division 12÷3=4
4*4-1+23
Multiply is 4*4=16
16-1+23
Add or subtract can be conducted in any order. From left to right, we subtract followed by addition
Subtract 16-1=15
15+23
The last step is to add 15+23
15+23=38
Thus, the answer to the given equation is 38.

Given the equation
(x/y)-z=rw
Subtract z on both sides of the equation
x/y=rw+z
multiply both sides by y
x=y(rw+z)
Now rearranging the fllowing equation
x=y(z+rw)
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Determine the number of blue and yellow gumballs as follows:
Percent of blue gumballs=100%-(20%+30%+5%+10%) =100%-65%=35%
Number of blue gumballs =35% of 120=0.55*120 = 42 blue gumballs [35%=35/100=0.35]
Number of yellow gumballs=5% of 120=0.05*120 = 6 yellow gumballs [5%=5/100=0.05]
Difference between number of blue and yellow gumballs=42-6= 36 balls
Therefore, there are 36 more blue gumballs than yellow gumballs.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
In direct proportion relation we utilize the relationship as:
Variable∝Variable 2
Thus from the given case,
Force∝stretch
We introduce a constant term, K to remove the sign of proportionality as
Force=K* stretch
Let’s find the value of K, using Force=132 N and stretch of 0.07 m
132 N=K*0.07 m
K=132 N/0.07 m=1885.7 N/m
Now substitute this value of K in the following equation
Force=1885.7 N/m * stretch
For a stretch of 0.1 m, the force needed is
Force=1885.7 N/m * 0.1 m=188.57 N=188.6 N
