A researcher is studying the relationship between sugar consumption and weight gain. Twelve volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group had five participants which were put on a diet low in sugar and the other group with the remaining seven participants received 10% of their calories from sugar. After 8 weeks, weight gain was recorded from each participant.Which of the following principles was not used in this study?A.Repeated measures B. Blinding C. Randomization D. Control

Answers

Answer 1

Principles in Statitstic Studies

A. Repeated measures design is a research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods.

This is performed in the described study since the same subjects are measured in different periods and in different conditions of weight.

B. Blinding in Statistics. Blinding, or double-blinding, is when a patient does not know what treatment they are receiving so it does not influence the final outcomes. This principle is used here, because none of the participants knew what was given to them.

C. Randomization refers to the practice of using chance methods (random number tables, flipping a coin, etc.) to assign subjects to treatments. We are not sure how the participants were assigned to the specific diet. They were randomly selected. This could refer to randomization.

D. Control refers to directly influency over the conditions of the subject of the study to ensure they all go through the exact same proccesses during the study. We know the groups received different diets in sugar contents, but the rest of their living variables were not controlled, thus this last principle was not used in this study

Which expression can be used to find the price of a $400 telescope after a 32% markup? Select all that apply.A.400 • 0.32B.400 • 3.2C.400 • 1.32D.400 + 400(0.32)E.400 • 400(1.32)

Answers

We want to know an expression that let us find the price of a telescope of $400, after a 32% markup. We remember that briefly, the markup determines the percent of earning you will receive from selling a product.

On this case, for finding the cost, we will have to add the percent of earnings to the cost. Then we find the excedent given by the expression:

[tex]400(0.32)[/tex]

And we add it to the original price:

[tex]400+400(0.32)[/tex]

which is an expression to find the price after the markup.

Another option is to find the 100% + 32% of the original price, this is, multiply the original price by 1.32. We obtain that another expression for finding the price will be:

[tex]400\cdot1.32[/tex]Those two are the only options, ok?C and D, those are the ones I wrote.Yes, I am here.Do you see what I'm writing?

ge bank offers a checking account without monthly fees of $538 and wrote a check for $325. how much should he transfer from his savings account to avoid paying a service fee on his cheeking account. express as an inequality.

Answers

I’m here to help you. Just give me a few mins to look over your question.

Step 01:

Checking account no monthly fees (minimum balance) = $300

Daniel's balance checking account = $538

Daniel's check = $325

transfer from savings account ===> ?

Step 02:

transfer from savings account ≥ Checking account minimum balance - (Daniel's balance - Daniel's check)

transfer from savings account ≥ $300 - ($538 - $325)

transfer from savings account ≥ $300 - $213

transfer from savings account ≥ $87

The answer is:

Daniel should transfer from his savings account at least $87.

Find the approximate mean and standard deviation of the following data.

Answers

Given the data in the table, to find the approximate mean we would need to find the midpoints for the given intervals.

The midpoint was gotten from the average of the upper and lower class intervals.

We can then find the approximate mean using the formula below.

[tex]\bar{x}(Mean)=\frac{\sum^{}_{}fx}{\sum^{}_{}f}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \bar{x}=\frac{(8\times3.5)+(11.5\times3)+(19.5\times9)+(27.5\times5)}{8+3+9+5} \\ \bar{x}=\frac{28+34.5+175.5+137.5}{25} \\ \bar{x}=\frac{375.5}{25} \\ \bar{x}=15.02 \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find the standard deviation we would use the formula below;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{\sum^{}_{}f(x-\bar{x})^2}{\sum^{}_{}f} \\ ^{} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{8(3.5-15.02)^2+3(11.5-15.02)^2+9(19.5-15.02)^2+5(27.5-15.02)^2}{25} \\ =\frac{1061.6832+37.1712+180.6336+778.752}{25} \\ \sigma^2=82.3296 \\ \sigma=\sqrt[]{82.3296} \\ \sigma=9.074 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

Consider the following word problem:Two planes, which are 1180 miles apart, fly toward each other. Their speeds differ by 40 mph. If they pass each other in 2 hours, what isthe speed of each?Step 2 of 2: Solve the equation found in Step 1.

Answers

To answer this question, we can state the problem as follows:

1. The two planes are 1180 miles apart.

2. They fly toward each other.

3. Their speed differs by 40 mph: that is one of the planes is faster than the other 40 mph, or the other plane is slower than the other plane.

4. The time they encounter each other is 2 hours.

Then, we need to remember the formula for a constant speed:

[tex]V=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Where

• d is the distance

,

• t is the time

Then, we have that the speeds for each of the planes are:

[tex]V_{p1}=V_{p2}+40[/tex]

We also have that the sum of the distance for both planes is 1180 miles:

[tex]d_{p1}+d_{p2}=1180[/tex]

And we have that:

[tex]V=\frac{d}{t}\Rightarrow d=V\cdot t[/tex][tex]d_{p1}=V_{p1}\cdot t[/tex][tex]d_{p2}=V_{p2}\cdot t[/tex]

But

[tex]V_{p1}=V_{p2}+40[/tex]

Then, we have that:

[tex]d_{p1}+d_{p2}=1180[/tex][tex]V_{p1}\cdot t+V_{p2}\cdot t=1180\Rightarrow V_{p1}=V_{p2}+40[/tex][tex](V_{p2}+40)\cdot t+V_{p2}\cdot t=1180[/tex]

Since t = 2, we have:

[tex](V_{p2}+40)\cdot2+V_{p2}\cdot2=1180[/tex][tex]2V_{p2}+80+2V_{p2}=1180\Rightarrow4V_{p2}+80=1180[/tex]

Subtracting 80 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]4V_{p2}+80-80=1180-80\Rightarrow4V_{p2}=1100[/tex]

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have:

[tex]V_{p2}=\frac{1100}{4}\Rightarrow V_{p2}=275\text{mph}[/tex]

Since we know that:

[tex]V_{p1}=V_{p2}+40[/tex]

Then, we have:

[tex]V_{p1}=275\text{mph}+40\text{mph}\Rightarrow V_{p1}=315\text{mph}[/tex]

In summary, therefore, the speed of each plane is:

• Speed of Plane 1 = 315 mph

,

• Speed of Plane 2 = 275 mph

Santa bought a jacket that was marked 55% off the original price of $48. The sales tax was 6%. What did he pay altogether for the jacket? Find the discount price first and then find the tax. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

First we need to find the discount

48 * 55%

48 *.55

26.40

Subtract this from the price of the jacket

48-26.40

21.60

The sale price is 21.60

Now we need to find the sales tax

21.60 * 6%

21.60 * .06

1.296

Rounding to the nearest cent

1.30

Add the sales tax to the price of the jacket

21.60 +1.30

22.90

Santa will have to pay 22.90 for the jacket.

Answers

The general form of an exponential function is:

[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

where a = initial value and b = the rate of growth.

In the given equation that we have,

[tex]v(t)=19,900(0.91)^t[/tex]

we can see that the value of a = 19, 900. Hence, this is the initial value of the function and thus, the initial value of the car is 19, 900.

We can also see that the rate of growth is 0.91. Since the rate of growth is between 0 and 1, the function represents exponential decay.

The value of the car decreases by 9% each year.

Find the equation of a line parallel to2y=2x+4 and passes through the point ( -5,-1)

Answers

Slope-Intercept Equation of the Line

Given a line, we can express it in the form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We are given the equation of a line:

2y = 2x + 4

Dividing by 2:

y = x + 2

Comparing with the generic equation in slope-intercept form, we can see that m = 1 and b=2.

Now we have to find the equation of a line that is parallel to that line and passing through the given point.

Parallel lines have the same value of the slope. Thus, the slope of our required line is m'=1

The equation of the line is so far:

y = x + b'

We need to find the value of b'. Here comes handy the use of the point (-5,-1). Substituting in the equation:

-1 = -5 + b'

Solving for b':

b' = -1 + 5 = 4

Now we have the complete equation of the line as required:

Tyrone's car averages 26.2 miles per gallon in the city and 12.2 more miles per gallon on the highway. The gas tank holds 15 gallons and is 2/3 of the way full. With his current gas level, approximately how many miles can Tyrone drive on the highway?

Answers

First, we need to find the nubser of miles it can rive on high-way

From the question Tyron's car can drive 26.2 + 12.2 = 38.4 miles on the high way

Next, we find gallon of gas level that is currently on his car

His car can hold 15 gallons, but his current gas level is 2/3

So we will find 2/3 of 15 gallon which is equal;

2/3 x 15 = 30/3 = 10 gallons

Now, using proportion;

Let X be the number of miles he can drive with 10 gallons

38.4 miles = 1 gallon

X = 10 gallons

X = 38.4 x 10

X = 384 miles

Therefore he can drive 384 miles on highway
