Many universities and colleges have instituted supplemental instruction (SI) programs, in which a student facilitator meets regularly with a small group of students enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery. Suppose that students in a large statistics course (what else?) are randomly divided into a control group that will not participate in SI and a treatment group that will participate. At the end of the term, each student’s total score in the course is determined.
a. Are the scores from the SI group a sample from an existing population? If so, what is it? If not, what is the relevant conceptual population?
b. What do you think is the advantage of randomly dividing the students into the two groups rather than letting each student choose which group to join?
c. Why didn’t the investigators put all students in the treatment group? Note: The article "Supplemental Instruction: An Effective Component of Student Affairs Programming" (J. of College Student Devel., 1997: 577–586) discusses the analysis of data from several SI programs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let many universities and colleges have conducted supplemental instruction(SI) programs. In that a student facilitator he meets the students group regularly who are enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery.

Here the students in a large statistics group are classified into two groups:

1). Control group: This group will not participate in SI and

2). Treatment group: This group will participate in SI.

a)Suppose they are samples from an existing population, Then it would be the population of students who are taking the course in question and who had supplemental instruction. And this would be same as the sample. Here we can guess that this is a conceptual population - The students who might take the class and get SI.

b)Some students might be more motivated, and they might spend the extra time in the SI sessions and do better. Here they have done better anyway because of their motivation. There is other possibility that some students have weak background and know it and take the exam, But still do not do as well as the others. Here we cannot separate out the effect of the SI from a lot of possibilities if you allow students to choose.

The random assignment guarantees ‘Unbiased’ results - good students and bad are just as likely to get the SI or control.

c)There wouldn't be any basis for comparison otherwise.

Use the power series method to solve the given initial-value problem. (Format your final answer as an elementary function.)
(x − 1)y'' − xy' + y = 0, y(0) = −7, y'(0) = 3

Answers

You're looking for a solution of the form

[tex]\displaystyle y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n[/tex]

Differentiating twice yields

[tex]\displaystyle y' = \sum_{n=0}^\infty n a_n x^{n-1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^n[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y'' = \sum_{n=0}^\infty n(n-1) a_n x^{n-2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n[/tex]

Substitute these series into the DE:

[tex]\displaystyle (x-1) \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n - x \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^n + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^{n+1} - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n \\\\ \ldots \ldots \ldots - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^{n+1} + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty n(n+1) a_{n+1} x^n - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n \\\\ \ldots \ldots \ldots - \sum_{n=1}^\infty n a_n x^n + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

Two of these series start with a linear term, while the other two start with a constant. Remove the constant terms of the latter two series, then condense the remaining series into one:

[tex]\displaystyle a_0-2a_2 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \bigg(n(n+1)a_{n+1}-(n+1)(n+2)a_{n+2}-na_n+a_n\bigg) x^n = 0[/tex]

which indicates that the coefficients in the series solution are governed by the recurrence,

[tex]\begin{cases}y(0)=a_0 = -7\\y'(0)=a_1 = 3\\(n+1)(n+2)a_{n+2}-n(n+1)a_{n+1}+(n-1)a_n=0&\text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}[/tex]

Use the recurrence to get the first few coefficients:

[tex]\{a_n\}_{n\ge0} = \left\{-7,3,-\dfrac72,-\dfrac76,-\dfrac7{24},-\dfrac7{120},\ldots\right\}[/tex]

You might recognize that each coefficient in the n-th position of the list (starting at n = 0) involving a factor of -7 has a denominator resembling a factorial. Indeed,

-7 = -7/0!

-7/2 = -7/2!

-7/6 = -7/3!

and so on, with only the coefficient in the n = 1 position being the odd one out. So we have

[tex]\displaystyle y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n \\\\ y = -\frac7{0!} + 3x - \frac7{2!}x^2 - \frac7{3!}x^3 - \frac7{4!}x^4 + \cdots[/tex]

which looks a lot like the power series expansion for -7.

Fortunately, we can rewrite the linear term as

3x = 10x - 7x = 10x - 7/1! x

and in doing so, we can condense this solution to

[tex]\displaystyle y = 10x -\frac7{0!} - \frac7{1!}x - \frac7{2!}x^2 - \frac7{3!}x^3 - \frac7{4!}x^4 + \cdots \\\\ \boxed{y = 10x - 7e^x}[/tex]

Just to confirm this solution is valid: we have

y = 10x - 7   ==>   y (0) = 0 - 7 = -7

y' = 10 - 7   ==>   y' (0) = 10 - 7 = 3

y'' = -7

and substituting into the DE gives

-7 (x - 1) - x (10 - 7) + (10x - 7 ) = 0

as required.

Based on what we have learned, how can we ensure that we choose a sample of students that is representative of all 8:00 AM classes that take place on a given morning

Answers

Sampling technique is a way of selecting a sample from a given population. The best way to get a sample of students that represents all 8:00 AM classes is by using a stratified sampling technique.

From the complete question, we can summarize the given data as follows:

[tex]Buildings = 3[/tex] ----3 buildings in the college

[tex]Lecture\ Halls =2[/tex]  ---- 2 lecture halls in each building

[tex]Capacity = 100[/tex] --- 100 students in each lecture hall

Because the students' lecture halls are not in the same building, the best way to get a sample is as follows:

Divide the students into groups (In this case, the students will be grouped by the buildings of their lecture halls)

The number of students in each building is:

[tex]Students = Capacity \times Lecture\ Halls[/tex]

[tex]Students = 100 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]Students = 200[/tex]

There are 200 students in each building

Then select at random an equal proportion of student from each building (say 30 students in each building)

The above method is referred to as a stratified sampling technique because the population of the students are divided into groups, before being randomly selected.

What is the slope? Please Help

Answers

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,2) and (2,0)

Using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 0-2)/(2-0)

    = -2/2

  = -1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two points on the line to find the slope, using rise over run.

We can use the points (0, 2) and (2, 0).

From the first point to the other, the y value decreases by 2 and the x value increases by 2.

Use rise (change in y value) over run (change in x value):

-2 / 2

= -1

So, the slope is -1.

In which direction does the parabola x=2y2+1 open?

A up
B down
C Right
D left

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to set this equation equal to y, which means we need to get y by itself, and all other terms equal to y.

x = [tex]2y^2 + 1[/tex]

Subtract 1, then divide by 2 on both sides.

[tex]x - 1 = 2y^2\\\\\frac{x-1}{2} = y^2[/tex]

Now, take the square root of both sides.

[tex]y=\sqrt{\frac{x-1}{2}}[/tex]

We see that the value with the x (1) is positive, and that we have a square root function, which means the parabola would open to the right.

(If the x value was negative, the square root function's parabola would open to the left)

So, C (Right) is the correct answer.

If two numbers differ by 9 the same of their squares is 653. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Two numbers differ by 9 and the sum of their square is 653. What are the numbers?

Well,that's a mathematical question from algebra and it's quite difficult to answer such questions by writing through the circumstances offered by apps like quora.

However,I have tried to answer your question in an understandable way.Hope you may not find it difficult to analyze.

Let the numbers be x and (9+x)

Therefore,according to given,

x^2 + (9+x)^2 =653

=>x^2 + (9)^2 + x^2 + 2×(9)×(x)=653 (Applying the formula of (a+b)^2)

=>x^2 + 81 + x^2 + 18x =653

=>2x^2 + 18x + (81-653)=0

=>2x^2 + 18x - 572=0

=>2x^2 + (44x - 26x) - 572=0

=>2x^2 + 44x - 26x - 572=0

=>2x(x + 22) - 26(x + 22)=0

=>(x + 22)(2x - 26)=0

But since the number can't be negative

Therefore, x=13

Hence,the required numbers are 13 and 22.

Find the average rate of change of g(x) = 2x^3 - 5 from x= -4 to x= 2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the average change rate is the change of the functional values from the beginning to the end of the interval, and then that divided by the length of the interval.

like with every average or mean value calculation.

g(-4) = 2×(-4)³ - 5 = -128 - 5 = -133

g(2) = 2×2³ - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11

so, on an interval of x values of 2- -4 = 6 units the function changes its values by 11 - -133 = 144 units.

the average charge rate for this x interval is therefore

144 / 6 = 24 = 24/1

for 1 unit change of x, g(x) changes in the average by 24 units.

The input goes from 7 to 12

7≤r≤12

Answer: Choice B) [tex]7 \le r \le 12[/tex]

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

Explanation:

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs of a function.

How far to the left can we go on this red line? That would be x = 7.

How far to the right? That would be x = 12.

We can have x equal anything between 7 and 12, including both endpoints. We include the endpoints because they are filled in circles (as opposed to open holes).

So the domain is [tex]7 \le x \le 12[/tex]. If we replace x with r, then we update that inequality into [tex]7 \le r \le 12[/tex]. This replacement happens because r is along the horizontal x axis.
