Researchers at a medical school conducted a study to test the effectiveness of a new drug for lowering cholesterol. The 52 subjects who volunteered for the study were each given a randomly generated number. Subjects with an odd number were given the new drug, while those with an even number were given a placebo. Cholesterol levels before and after the treatment were measured for each subject, and the differences were computed.
This study is an example of ______________ study. The difference in cholesterol level is _____________ the variable. The treatment with drug or placebo is the ____________ variable.
Answer:
1. An Experimental
2. Dependent
3. Independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the description of how the research was carried out, it can be concluded that This study is an example of AN EXPERIMENTAL study. This because the researcher is trying to study the effectiveness of a new drug for lowering cholesterol
The difference in cholesterol level is the DEPENDENT variable. This is because the difference in cholesterol level is what the researcher wants to determine.
The treatment with a drug or placebo is the INDEPENDENT variable. This is because this is what the researcher manipulates to determine the difference in cholesterol level which is the dependent variable in this experimental study.
What is the first term in the sequence for which d = -2 and a7 = 3?
A. -6
B. 12
C. 15
D. -12
Answer:
First term is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
[tex]a_{7} =3\\d=-2[/tex]
Now,
[tex]a+6d=3.....(1)\\a_{n} =a+(n-1)d\\\\\\From equation (1)\\a+6(-2)=3\\a-12=3\\a=12+3\\a=15[/tex]
Therefore first term a =15
Correct option is (c)
Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7,8) and (-1,-5).
Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.
Answer:
y + 7 = -13/6(x-8)
and
y + 1 = -13/6(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the slope using [tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex].
-5-8/-1+7 = -13/6
2. Plug the slope into the point-slope form, [tex]y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)[/tex].
y - y1 = -13/6(x-x1)
3. Plug in one of the points to get the answer.
y + 7 = -13/6(x-8)
y + 1 = -13/6(x+5)
One side of a triangle is 3 times longer than the shortest side and the third side is 4 centimeters longer than the shortest side. The perimeter of the triangle is 64.
How long is the shortest side of the triangle?
Answer:
First side is: 12cm
Second side is: 36cm
Third side is: 16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter side
Then 3x represents the second side, and
x + 4 represents the third side.
Perimeter of three sides:
P = x + 3x + (x + 4)
Perimeter is 64, so
64 = x + 3x + (x + 4)
64 = 5x + 4
60 = 5x
12 = x
First side is x: 12cm
Second side is 3x: 3(12) = 36cm
Third side is x + 4: 12 + 4 = 16cm

Solve for the value of v
Answer:
v = 9 because it is what would make a great answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the angles are supplementary, meaning it sums up to 180 degrees
so to find v, you have to find the total angle of v.
180- 105 equals 8v+3, or 75 equals 8v+3
subtract 75 with 3 leaving 72 equals 8v
v would equal 9

Step-by-step explanation:
Create a table of appropriate x values e.g. x = 2 and substitute into y=3x which will be y=3*2 meaning y=6 at the point x=2. Repeat with different x values until you have enough points to draw a straight line.

What is the image point of (1,-7) after the transformation T-3,-1 degrees R180 degrees?
Answer:
first hust rotate 180 and next reflect it over x axis.
the given point (-7,3) id in second quadrant but after rotation it will be in fourth quadrant.
afterwards you have to refect that point over x-axis which gives you the image of the points on first quadrant ie. (7,1).

Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. The measure of the third angle is 80° more than the measure of the second angle. Use the fact that the sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 180° to find the measure of each angle. what is the measure of the first angle?
Answer:
The measure of the first angle is 50°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three angles be a, b, and c.
The measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. In other words:
[tex]a=2b[/tex]
The measure of the third angle is 80° more than the measure of the second angle. In other words:
[tex]c=b+80[/tex]
And since the interior angles of a triangle must equal 180°:
[tex]a+b+c=180[/tex]
Substitute a and c:
[tex](2b)+b+(b+80)=180[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]4b+80=180[/tex]
Subtract 80 from both sides:
[tex]4b=100[/tex]
And divide both sides by four:
[tex]b=25^\circ[/tex]
So, the measure of the second angle is 25°.
Since the measure of the first is twice the second, the measure of the first angle is 50°.
(And since the measure of the third is 80° than the second, the measure of the third angle is 105°.)
Can someone please help me?
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the inverse, there are two steps
1-interchange x and y
2-solve for y
so y=x+1/x
interchange to get x=y+1/y
and solving for y we multiply both sides by y to get xy=y+1
subtract both sides by y yielding xy-y=1
factor out y to get y(x-1)=1
then divide to get y=1/x-1

Answer:
a. 36.25 ft
b. 45 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVE YOUR ANSWER IN FEET !!! as the problem statement says.
not in inches. when you use the scale factor with inches, you get inches as result. then you need to convert them to feet.
how many inches in 1 ft ?
12 !
so, you need to divide your results by 12 to get the feet.
Is my answer correct?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
By the "rule of 72", the amount will be doubled in 72/I years, where I is the annual interest rate in percent. That is, it can be estimated to take 72/4 = 18 years to double the $240 investment to $480. It would take another 18 years to double it again to $960. So, to achieve a balance of $1500 will be expected to take more than 36 years. The only reasonable answer choice is the one you have selected.
__
The exact solution is ...
log (1500/240)/log(1 +0.04) ≈ 46.72 years ≈ 47 years.

A box in the shape of a rectangular prism has the length of 3 5/8 inches, a width of 2 1/2 inches and a height of 4 inches. What is the volume of the box?
Answer:
36 1/4 in^3 : 36.25 in ^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn all fractions into decimal form:
3 5/8 in = 3.625
2 1/2 = 2.5
4 = 4
Volume formula = lwh
l = 3.625 in
w = 2.5 in
h = 4 in
V = 3.625 * 2.5 * 4
V = 9.0625 * 4
V = 36.25

Answer:
Probably "Median"
