A researcher considers two methods for collecting data to determine if store-brand laundry detergents work as well as name-brand detergents.


Method 1: The researcher surveys shoppers as they enter a grocery store. The shoppers are asked which type of detergent they use and then rate the cleanliness of their laundry on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the cleanest). The ratings of the name-brand detergents are compared to the ratings of the store-brand detergent.


Method 2: The researcher creates 10 loads of soiled fabrics and washes 5 of the loads with name-brand detergent and the other 5 with store-brand detergent. Volunteers are asked to assess the cleanliness of the fabrics using a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the cleanest), and the ratings of the name-brand detergents are compared to the ratings of the store-brand detergent.


Which method describes an observational study?


Method 2 is an observational study because volunteers assess the fabrics.

Method 1 is an observational study because many people can be surveyed.

Method 1 is an observational study because no attempt is made to influence results.

Both methods are observational studies because information on both types of detergent can be collected.


Not A.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Method 1 is an observational study because no attempt is made to influence results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Based on the descriptions provided: Method 1 is an observational study because no attempt is made to influence the results. Option 3 is the correct answer.

An observational study is a type of study where researchers observe and collect data without actively intervening or manipulating any variables.

Method 1 involves surveying shoppers and asking them about their detergent use and laundry cleanliness ratings. The researcher is merely collecting data without intervening or manipulating any variables. The study relies on the natural behavior of shoppers and their responses.

Method 2, on the other hand, involves actively creating soiled fabrics and washing them with different detergents. This intervention introduces an element of manipulation, making it more of an experimental study than an observational one.

school's baseball season with a trip to the local fast food
place. The team buys 22 delicious tacos and 17 orders
of savory nachos for $71.05. A few of the players are still
hungry, so the coach buys 10 more tacos and 5 more
orders of nachos for $27.25. If you don't consider tax,
what is the price of a taco and the price of an
order of nachos ?

Answers

Let’s take x as the price of a taco and y as the price of a serving of nachos.
22x + 17y = 71.05. First order
10x + 5y = 27.25. Second order
Multiply the first order by 5 and the second order by 11
110x + 85y = 355.25
110x + 55y = 299.75
Subtract
30y = 55.5
y = 1.85
So 10x + 5x1.85 = 27.25
10x = 27.25 - 9.25 = 18
x = 1.8

So each taco cost $1.80 and an order of nachos cost $1.85

When adding two fractions with different bases (bottom numbers), we can use this function:

[tex]\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + cb}{bd}[/tex]

So, to apply this to the given question:

[tex]\frac{x+3}{x-6} +\frac{1}{x-2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{(x+3)(x-2)+(1)(x-6)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]

From the given answers, we see we don't need to simplify the resulting base number, which makes things a lot easier.

Multiply top using: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

= [tex]\frac{[(x*x) + (x*-2)+(3*x)+(3*-2)]+(x-6)}{(x-6)(x-2)}[/tex]

Simplify.

Set up an approximate 96% confidence interval for the unknown proportion of reds in the jar.

Answers

Answer:

(0.3478, 0.5522)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of red marbles, x = 45

Total number of marbles, n = 100

Phat = x / n = 45 / 100 = 0.45

The confidence interval, C.I is given by :

Phat ± Zcritical * standard error

Phat ± Zcritical * √Phat(1 - Phat) / n

Zcritical at 96% = 2.0537

The standard error = √Phat(1 - Phat) / n

S.E = √(0.45 * 0.55) / 100 = 0.0497493

C.I = 0.45 ± (2.0537 * 0.0497493)

C.I = 0.45 ± 0.10217013741

C. I = (0.3478, 0.5522)

A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.

Required:
a. Find the relative growth rate.
b. Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours.
c. Find the rate of growth after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
d. Find the number of cells after 6 hours.

Answers

Answer:

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours is

= 89 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell divides into two cells every 20 minutes

In one hour, the cell will divide into 60/20 * 2 = 6 cells

Each cell growth 6 cells per hour

Initial population of a culture = 50 cells

t = time in hours

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours = initial population * growth factor

= 50 * 1.772

= 88.6

= 89 cells

Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room. I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty." I used to think she was just being polite, that she really couldn't see me in the picture. But then she'd add, "That pin you're wearing was your mother's." How did she see that little blur on my jacket? The things she could see never failed to amaze me. Watching television with Grandma, I never failed to learn something. Usually it was the complicated plot twist of one of her favorite soap operasThe Guiding Light or As the World Turns. We grandkids would curl up on the big couch while Grandma pulled up a footstool and planted herself right next to the TV, elbows on her knees, to watch the screen. At the commercial break, she'd explain who was marrying whom and who was in the hospital and who had recently come back from the dead. She seemed to have no trouble identifying the characters whom she could barely see. Whether or not she could bring them into sharp focus, they were as real to her as her giggling grandkids. For a treat, we'd sometimes pile into our grandparent's black car for a drive around town: my grandfather at the wheel, my long-legged older brother in the front seat, and Grandma sandwiched between me and my little brother in the backbut sitting so far forward she was practically in the front. I'd imagined all she could see was a blur of images rushing past, yet she could always tell when Grandpa had missed a turn or forgotten to turn on his headlights. Returning home, Grandma would wave at the boy who mowed their lawn and point out the new fruit on the plum tree in their yard. In later years, when I visited from college, Grandma would always be waiting when I pulled up in my old orange car (that's admittedly hard to miss, no matter how bad one's vision). She'd greet me with a bear hug. Then she'd surprise me, every time, with what she could see. Holding my face in her hands, she'd turn my head from side to side and announce, "You got your hair cut!" as if I had won the lottery and forgotten to tell her. I began to wonder if we rely on our eyes too muchif maybe, with our perfect sight, we're actually missing the details my grandma and her poor vision never failed to catch.This story makes the reader think about what we can and cannot see. What question does the author ask us to think about at the end? A. Was life just a blur of images racing past our eyes? B. Could Grandma see the things she said she could see? C.
