Rain and Hantavirus in Mice Hantavirus is carried by wild rodents and causes severe lung disease in humans. A recent study1 on the California Channel Islands found that increased prevalence of the virus was linked with greater precipitation. The study adds "Precipitation accounted for of the variation in prevalence."

The overview of the given situation is described in the explanation segment below.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the determination's coefficient will be:

⇒  

(Percent of variance in the answer variable described by the explanatory variable).

Now the correlation among the two variables will be:

As we know,

⇒  

⇒  

⇒  

⇒  

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

b, i believe, but not sure.
