After ovulation, the egg lives for about 12-24 hours. Fertilization can take place only during this time period, but the sperm needs at least 9-12 hours inside the woman's body to get ready.That means, your chances getting pregnant are minimal if you make love more than 12 hours after ovulation.ertilization can take place only during this time period, but the sperm needs at least 9-12 hours inside the woman's body to get ready.

When we consider the relationship between two variables, there are three possibilities: 1  Both variables are categorical. 2  Both variables are quantitative. 3  One variable is categorical and the other is quantitative, for instance height and gender.
A relationship between two variables can be described by an equation or a formula. This relationship can be linear, quadratic, square root, or almost any other type of function you can think of. We will focus here on a linear relationship between two variables where one is a constant multiple of the other. This is a special relationship called direct variation. In general, we say that y varies directly as x if there is a constant k so that the equation is true. When graphed, the constant k will be the slope of the line, y = mx + b.
