A study followed for 10 years a sample of 82,695 middle-aged men with no prior history of heart failure living in California. The daily number of minutes spent being sedentary (seated) was recorded in diaries and reported on regularly administered questionnaires. During the course of the study, a total of 3,473 men experienced heart failures. Participants with high sedentary time and low sedentary times were compared. The proportion experiencing a heart failure was higher in the group of men spending more time being sedentary.
This study is an example of:_________
a. longitudinal cohort study
b. case-control observational study
c. voluntary response sample or anecdotal data
d. completely randomized experiment
e. matched pairs / repeated measures experiment
f. cross-sectional sample survey
g. census (population data)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

f. cross-sectional sample survey

Step-by-step explanation:

- longitudinal cohort study is when the group of subjects that comprises the cohort is chosen based on a disease or injury and is then monitored over time at routine intervals. In this question, it's not the case as the sample of men were just picked and studied with no special group or cohort.

- If it was case-control observational study, the research would have started with identifying those who have heart failure and those who don't have heart failure but it wasn't the case and thus this is not correct.

- If this was voluntary response sample, it means the men would have been self chosen which means they volunteered to be part of the study if it was of interest to them. But this is not the case here.

- If it was completely randomized experiment, it means that the people sampled would have been randomly assigned to different treatments which was not so in this question.

- If it were to be match pairs experiment, it means the men sampled would be grouped into pairs and each pair will be assigned different treatments which didn't happen in this question.

- If it were to be cross-sectional sample survey, it means that data will be collected from a population of interest to make inferences from that population at a point in time. That is the case here because data about sedentary time or less was taken and compared to know the effect it had on heart failure.

- If it were census, it will just be about getting the size of the population without making inquiries about sedentary time.

"The sine of any acute angle is equal to the cosine of its complementary angle."[help me plzz!!]​

Answers

Answer: True

==================================

Work Shown:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(alpha) = MN/NP

sin(alpha) = y/z

---------

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(beta) = MN/NP

cos(beta) = y/z

----------

Both sin(alpha) and cos(beta) are equal to y/z, so that means sin(alpha) = cos(beta). This is true because alpha+beta = 90, ie the angles are complementary.

Similarly, you should find that sin(beta) and cos(alpha) are both equal to x/z, which is further proof that the statement is true.

Insurance companies need to maintain a certain amount in reserved funds in order to pay anticipated claims. The average monthly claim amount for the last 60 months for company A was $7,500,000 and the (sample) standard deviation was $1,200,000.
(a) Find a 95% upper confidence bound on the average monthly claim amount.
(b) The regulations on the reserves will be strengthened in the near future. According to the new regulations, insurance companies that do not have sufficient amount in reserve will be subject to a significant penalty. Company A wants to adjust the target reserve amount accordingly, by computing a new upper bound on the average monthly claim amount. Should the company recalculate an upper confidence bound with a higher or a lower level of confidence? Briefly explain why. Then compute a 99.95% upper confidence bound on the average monthly claim amount.

Answers

Answer:

a ) Upper bound of CI  is 7803483.87

b) The new upper bound is  8039767.74

Step-by-step explanation:

From sample data:

sample size    n  =  60

sample mean  x = 7500000

Sample standard deviation   s  =  1200000

a) Confidence Interval 95 %  then  significance level  α = 5 % o  α = 0.05

α/2 = 0.025     z(c) from z-table is  z(c) = 1.96

CI  95 % =  (   x  ±  z(c) * s/√n

CI  95 % =  (  7500000  ±  1.96 * 1200000/√60

CI  95 % =  (  7500000  ±  303483.87 )

CI  95 % =  ( 7196516.13  ;  7803483.87)

Then upper bound of CI  is 7803483.87

b) The company has to decrease the significance level equivalent to widen the confidence interval.

If CI now is   99.95 %    significance level is α = 0.0005 and

α/2 = 0.00025     z(c) for that α/2    is from z-table  z(c) ≈ 3.486

CI 99.95 %  = ( x ±  z(c)*s/√n

CI 99.95 %  =  7500000 ±  3.486*1200000/ √60

CI 99.95 %  =  (7500000 ±539767.74)

CI 99.95 %  = ( 6960232.26 ; 8039767.74)

The new upper bound is  8039767.74

Which of the following shows the correct first step to solve. x^2+12x=72

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve the equation is x² + 12x - 36 = 72 - 36. The correct option is A.

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree, where the highest power of the variable is 2.

Among the options you provided, the correct first step to solve the equation x² + 12x = 72 is:

x² + 12x - 36 = 72 - 36

By subtracting 36 from both sides of the equation, you can bring the constant term to the other side, simplifying the equation to:

x² + 12x - 36 = 0

Now you can proceed with solving the quadratic equation using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula.

The area of a triangle is 2/5 square feet. What is the base of the triangle if the height is 6/5 feet?
24/25 feet
25/24 feet
2/3 feet
3/2 feet​

Answers

Answer:

2/3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is  A = (B x H)/2. Or, area is equal to base times height, all divided by two. In your case, we don't know the base. If we substitute in values, we get 2/5 = (B x 6/5)/2.

Next, we have to multiply both sides by two, to cancel the "/2." That results in 4/5 = B x 6/5. Then, to isolate the variable, we have to divide both sides by 6/5. 4/5 ÷ 6/5 is 4/5 x 5/6. The fives cancel out, and we are left with 4/6.

Finally, we simplify! 4/6 simplifies to 2/3.

A mouse is trapped in a maze. To
find his way out, he walks 15 m,
makes a 90° left turn, walks 8 m,
makes another 90° left turn, and
walks 10 m. What is the magnitude
of the resultant vector?

Answers

Answer: Approximately 9.43 meters

The more accurate version is 9.4339811320566 but that's not exact.

This is exact magnitude is sqrt(89)

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's draw an xy grid for this. Place the starting point at (0,0) which I'll call point A. Now let's say the mouse goes east 15 meters. That would move it to (15,0) which is marked as point B. Refer to the diagram below.

From point B, we move to C which is at (15,8). So the mouse has gone 8 meters north. It might help to turn the page so that the east direction is facing completely north, and then look to the left and you'll see "north". In other words, each 90 degree left turn is a 90 degree counterclockwise turn.

After doing another 90 degree counterclockwise turn, the mouse will move 10 meters westward. It moves from C(15,8) to D(5,8). Point D is the final position of the mouse.

-----------------------

A(0,0) was the initial position and D(5,8) is the final position

The vector v is

v = <5,8>

This is because we basically are saying "the mouse ultimately moved 5 meters east and 8 meters north" when going from start to finish. We're ignoring the intermediate stops along the way.

------------------------

Recall that for any vector of the form

v = <a,b>

the magnitude of that vector is

|v| = sqrt(a^2+b^2)

this is the length of the vector based on the pythagorean theorem.

Applying this formula gets us

|v| = sqrt(5^2+8^2)

|v| = sqrt(89)

|v| = 9.43398 approximate

This represents the straight line distance from start to finish, where we ignore any intermediate stops. So this isn't the distance the mouse travels (since it goes from A to B, to C to D). Instead, it's the distance it would travel if it wanted to take the shortest path from A to D.

If the measure of angle 2 Is (4x+10)degrees and the measure of angle 3 is (3x-5)degrees, what is the measure of angle 2 in degrees?

Answers

Answer:

110°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+10 + (3x-5) = 180

7x + 5 = 180

7x = 175

x = 25

∠2 = 4(25) + 10 = 110

The measure of angle 2 in degrees, when both lines are perpendicular, is approximately 58.56 degrees.

To find the measure of angle 2 when the lines are perpendicular, we can set up an equation. Since the angles are formed by perpendicular lines, we know that the sum of angle 2 and angle 3 will be equal to 90 degrees. Mathematically, we can write this as:

(4x + 10) + (3x - 5) = 90

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x. First, combine like terms:

4x + 3x + 10 - 5 = 90

7x + 5 = 90

Next, isolate x by subtracting 5 from both sides:

7x = 85

Finally, divide by 7 to solve for x:

x = 85 / 7 ≈ 12.14

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the measure of angle 2 by substituting x back into its expression:

Angle 2 = 4x + 10

Angle 2 = 4(12.14) + 10

Angle 2 ≈ 48.56 + 10

Angle 2 ≈ 58.56 degrees
