The research study followed the participants for eight years to see how many developed a particular type of cancer during that time period. Which of the following responses gives the best explanation as to the purpose of randomization in this studyA. To increase the accuracy of the research results B. To ensure that all potential cancer patients had an equal chance of beng selected for the study. C. To reduce the amount of sampling error D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics E. To prevent skewness n the resuits. F. I am not familiar with this matorial

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.

A triangular prism. The rectangular sides are 5 feet by 4 feet, 5 feet by 5 feet, and 5 feet by 3 feet. The triangular sides have a base of 4 feet and height of 3 feet. [Not drawn to scale] 60 square feet 72 square feet 82 square feet 84 square feet

Answers

Answer:

72ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the area of each face and then sum them.

area of base = 4 × 5 = 20 ft²

area of back = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

area of sloping face = 5 × 5 = 25 ft²

area of 2 triangular faces = 2 ×  × 4 × 3 = 4 × 3 = 12 ft²

Thus

surface area = 20 + 15 + 25 + 12 = 72 ft²

Evaluate 15 + |-3| - 4

Answers

Those lines on both sides of the number means "absolute value." Those lines tell us that the number is positive no matter what. So:

15 + |-3| - 4 → 15 + 3 - 4

Remember to follow PEMDAS when solving.

(15 + 3) - 4

18 - 4

14

Therefore, the answer is 14.

Best of Luck!

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation: The vertical bars around the -3 mean that we take the absolute value of that number which is the positive version of that number.

So the absolute value of -3 would be 3.

So we have 15 + (3) - 4 which simplifies to 18 - 4 or 14.

Notice that I used parentheses when first getting rid of the absolute value signs. I think that this method will help you avoid confusion when simplifying absolute values.

What is the area of the rectangle?
square units

Answers

Answer:

(8, -8)100 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle have the same midpoint, so for points A, B, C, D, we must have ...

  (A+C)/2 = (B+D)/2

  D = A + C - B

  D = (-2, -8) +(8, 2) -(-2, 2) = (-2+8+2, -8+2-2)

  D = (8, -8)

The side lengths are 2-(-8) = 10, and 8-(-2) = 10. The area is the product of the side lengths, so is 10×10 = 100 square units.

Comment on side lengths

When the end points of one side are on the same vertical line, the length of that side is the difference of y-coordinates. When the points lie on the same horizontal line, the side length is the difference of x-coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah is a freshman in college. Her scholarship indicated that each quarter she has $1000 deposited into a meal plan account for her to use to purchase food. Every day Hannah spends $25 on food. Let f(x) represent the amount of money remaining in the account and x represent the number of days.

Answers

Answer:

f ( x ) = $1000 - $25*x

( 40 days, $0 )

( 0 days , $1000 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Every quarter Hannah receives $1000 in her account for meal plan.

- So for a quarter of a year she has $1000 to spend.

- She spends $25 on food each day; hence, an amount of $25 is deducted each day.

- We can mathematically express the amount remaining in her account after ( x ) days as follows:

                    y = f(x) = Initial deposit - (per day deduction)*x

Where,

               y: The amount remaining in Hannah's account after x days.

- The initial amount is the quarterly deposit of $1000 and per day deduction is her buying food each day for $25.

                   y= f(x) = $1000 - ($25)*x

- The thing to note is that the above function f(x) is only defined over the domain of a quarter of year i.e from the first day she receives her amount till the next deposit.

- The number of days it will take for Hannah to empty her account can be determined from finding the x-intercept or ( y = f(x) = 0 ) using the function defined above:

                    f ( x ) = 1000 - 25x = 0

                    x = 1000 / 25

                    x = 40 days

- So it will take 40 days for Hannah to empty her account. As an ordered pair it can be written as:

                    ( 40 days , $0 )  ... Answer

- The initial deposit of $1000 corroborates the y-intercept of the function defined f ( x ). Or we can evaluate the derived function at f ( 0 ):

                     f ( 0 ) = 1000 - 25*0

                     f ( 0 ) = $1000

- The ordered pair for the y-intercpet would be:

<S = 90º - 65.3º

One of the questions in a study of marital satisfaction of dual-career couples was to rate the statement, "I'm pleased with the way we divide the responsibilities for childcare." The ratings went from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The table below contains ten of the paired responses for husbands and wives.

Sample mean, xd

= (0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0)/10 = 0.4

xd = 5.67

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n = 6

Summation(x - mean)² = (0 - 0.4)^2 + (1 - 0.4)^2 + (1 - 0.4)^2+ (0 - 0.4)^2 + (1 - 0.4)^2 + (1 - 0.4)^2 + (0 - 0.4)^2 + (0 - 0.4)^2 + (0 - 0.4)^2 + (0 - 0.4)^2 = 2.4

Standard deviation = √(2.4/10

sd = 0.49

For the null hypothesis

H0: μd ≥ 0

For the alternative hypothesis

H1: μd < 0

1) The distribution is a students t. Therefore, degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

2) The formula for determining the test statistic is

t = (xd - μd)/(sd/√n)

t = (0.4 - 0)/(0.49/√10)

t = 2.581

3) We would determine the probability value by using the t test calculator.

p = 0.0148

4) Assume alpha = 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0148, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, at 5% significance level, we can conclude that the mean difference in the husband's versus the wife's satisfaction level is negative
