In a clinical trial, 780 participants suffering from high blood pressure were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Over a one-month period, the first group received the experimental drug, the second group received a placebo, and the third group received no treatment. The diastolic blood pressure of each participant was measured at the beginning and at the end of the period and the change in blood pressure was recorded. The average change in blood pressure was calculated for each of the three groups and the three averages were compared.
A. This was an experiment rather an observational study. How do we know that?
B. Identify the factors and levels.
C. Are all the principles of experimental design included in this experiment? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.  We know that this was an experiment rather than an observational study because treatments were administered, with the first group receiving the experimental drug, the second group receiving a placebo, and the third group receiving no treatment."

B. The factors are the variables.  The independent variable was group three that received no treatment, while the dependent variables were the first and second groups that received some treatments.  Another variable is the change in blood pressure recorded at the end of the period.

The levels refer to the different treatments that were administered to the three groups: experimental drug, placebo, and no treatment.

C. The principles of experimental design are Randomization, Repetition, and Control.  We are not aware of how the participants were chosen and this experiment was not replicated in the scenario.  We can affirm that there is Control because the three groups were not given the same treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an observation, the researcher does not attempt to change any variables.  She simply observes and then records her observations.  In an experimental study, the researcher creates a control group and, also at least, one testable group.  The purpose is to compare the control group and the testable group.

find the area of the shaded segment of the circle

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (3/2π -(9/4)√3) m² ≈ 0.8 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the segment is the difference between the area of the sector and the area of the triangle.

  sector area = 1/2r²α . . . . where r is the radius and α is the central angle in radians

  triangle area = 1/2r²·sin(α) . . . . same variable definitions

Then the area of the segment is ...

  segment area = sector area - triangle area

  segment area = (1/2)r²(α -sin(α))

The central angle subtended by the segment is 360° -300° = 60° = π/3 radians

Then the segment area is ...

  A = (1/2)(3 m)²(π/3 -√3/2) = (3/2π -(9/4)√3) m² ≈ 0.8 m²

a person invested $330 in an account growing at a rate allowing the money to double every 8 years. Write a function showing the amount of money in the account after tt years, where the annual growth rate can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage of growth per year, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of growth is of 9.05%.

The amount of money in the account after t years is given by [tex]P(t) = 330(1.0905)^t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money after t years:

The amount of money in an account after t years is given by:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial deposit and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

Money doubles every 8 years.

This means that [tex]P(8) = 2P(0)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)^8[/tex]

[tex](1+r)^8 = 2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[8]{(1+r)^8} = \sqrt[8]{2}[/tex]

[tex]1 + r = 2^{\frac{1}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]1 + r = 1.0905[/tex]

[tex]r = 1.0905 - 1[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.0905[/tex]

The percentage of growth is of 0.0905 = 9.05%.

Person invested $330

This means that [tex]P(0) = 330[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 330(1+0.0905)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 330(1.0905)^t[/tex]

The amount of money in the account after t years is given by [tex]P(t) = 330(1.0905)^t[/tex]

if c and d vary inversely, and d=5/3 and c=5. write a function that models inverse variation and find d when c=10

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

cd = 25/3d = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse variation described can be either of ...

  c = k/d

or

  d = k/c

Either way, the equation can also be written as ...

  cd = k

For the given values of c and d, the value of k is ...

  (5)(5/3) = k = 25/3

So, the model can be written as ...

  cd = 25/3

or

  d = (25/3)/c

__

For c=10, the value of d is ...

  d = (25/3)/10 = 25/30

  d = 5/6

Step 3: X + 2 is the third number

Step 4: X +3 is the fourth number

Step 5: Take the sum of all of those:

4x+6=354

4x=348

x=87

The second number in the sequence is 88.

87,88,89,90 = 354

Answer: Second integer is 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of four consecu. integers = 354

Let the integers be x, x+1, x+2 , x+3.

Sum = 354

x+x+1+x+2+x+3 = 354

4x+6 = 354

4x = 354 - 6

4x = 348

x = 348/4

x = 87

Therefore, first integer = x =87

Second integer = x+1 = 88

Third integer = x+2 = 89

Fourth integer = x+3 = 90

So, second integer is 88 .

At a high school with over 500 students, a counselor wants to estimate the mean number of hours per week that students at the school spend in community service activities. The counselor will survey 20 students in the Environmental Club at the school. The mean number of hours for the 20 students will be used to estimate the population mean. Which of the following conditions for inference have not been met?

1. The data are collected using a random sampling method.
2. The sample size is large enough to assume normality of the distribution of sample means.
3. The sample size is less than 10 percent of the population size.

Answers

Complete option:

The sample size is less than 10 percent of the population size. A. II onlyB. III onlyC. II and III onlyD. I, II, and III

Answer:

D.) I, II, and III

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample are not well randomly selected as the samples were only selected from a single source, the environmental club in the school.

Similarly only 20 samples were chosen, these 20 samples are not enough to assume normality as the minimum number of samples required to assume normality according to the Central limit theorem is 30 samples or more.

10% of the population size is :

Population size = 5000

0.10 * 5000 = 500 samples

Hence, sample size used is less than 10% of population size.

A cooler contains 12 bottles of apple juice and 18 bottles of orange juice. You reach into the cooler without looking and pull out one bottle of apple juice. Then you reach into cooler and pull out another bottle of juice. What is the probability of pulling apple juice and then pulling another apple juice?

Answers

Answer:

P = 0.232

Step-by-step explanation:

In the cooler, we have 12 bottles of apple juice and 18 bottles of orange juice.

This adds up to a total of 30 bottles.

Now we want to find the probability of pulling a bottle of apple juice after you pulled one bottle of apple juice.

The probability of pulling a bottle of apple juice at the beginning is equal to the quotient between the number of apple juice bottles in the cooler and the total number of bottles in the cooler,

This means that 12 out of 30 are apple juice, then the probability of getting first a bottle of apple juice is:

p = 12/30

Now, we want to find the probability of getting another, we will do the same calculation than above, but now the number of bottles of apple juice is 11 (because we took one) and the total number of bottles is 29.

In this case, the probability is:

q = 11/29

The joint probability (the probability of both events happening) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities.

Then the probability of pulling apple juice and then pulling another apple juice is:

P = p*q = (12/30)*(11/29) = 0.232

In 2010 the time will be 44.8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Olympic time for men's 400-m hurdles has been decreasing by about 0.09 seconds per year since 1930, when the record was 52 seconds, to predict what the time will be in 2010 the following calculation must be performed:

52 - ((2010 - 1930) x 0.09) = X

52 - (80 x 0.09) = X

52 - 7.2 = X

44.8 = X

Thus, in 2010 the time will be 44.8 seconds.

December. total change in December is greater than change in January. 3 is greater than 2

August. the total change in hair growth is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

total change in hair length = 2 - 1 + 3 - 4 + 3 = 3

My hair is longer in January .

total change in hair length in February = 2 -1 =  1

total change in hair length in August  = 1 + 3 = 4

total change in hair length in September = 4  - 4 = 0

total change in hair length in December = 0 + 3 = 3

My hair is the longest in August because that is the month that has the highest change in hair length
