What is circular causality in terms of A B and C?

It means that a causes B, B causes C and C causes A (or the other way around).

Towns a b and c lie on a straight road in order the distance from b to c is 6 miles more than twice the distance from a to b the distance from a to c is 2 miles more than four times the distance from?

Let x = the distance from a to b. Therefore, the distance from b to c = 2x+6 The distance from a to c = 4x + 2 Logically, a to c = a to b + b to c so 4x+2 = x+ 2x+6. Now solve for x and you can find all the distances. Sometimes it really helps to draw a picture and write a statement. Example, let x = the distance from a to b. Good luck.

Are grades such as A B C interval data?

Grades such as A, B, and C are not considered interval data; they are typically classified as ordinal data. This is because grades represent a ranked order (A is better than B, which is better than C) but do not have a consistent numerical difference between them. For example, the difference in performance between an A and a B may not be the same as between a B and a C. Interval data, on the other hand, must have equal intervals between values and a meaningful zero point, which grades do not possess.

When was B. C. Wandell House-The Cedars created?

What does it mean to play in the key of c?

Play in the key of C major. The only notes you play are A,B,C,D,E,F and G.

If the tune was G,F#,G,A,G then that would probably be in the key of G as it ends on G and it has F#. Because G is a major 5th above C, move all the notes down a major 5th and you get the tune C,B,C,D,C which is in the key of C.

What is the negation of B is not between A and C?

The negation of B is not between A and C is

= [(A < B < C) OR (C < B < A)]

If A, B and C are numbers, then the above can be simplified to

(B - A)*(C - B) > 0

What is a neck strap?

A strap around your neck.

No but really, it allows movement in the fingers by taking the weight of the instrument off your hands, and putting it on your neck. It is connected to a loop found on the back of the saxophone, and is often adjustable.
