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.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

After the first exam in a statistics course, the professor surveyed 14 randomly-selected students to determine the relation between the amount of time they spent studying for the exam and exam score. She found that a linear relation exists between the two variables. The least-squares regression line that describes this relation is: y​=6.3333x+53.0298.

Required:
a. Predict the exam score of a student who studies 2 hours.
b. Interpret the slope.
c. What is the mean score of students who did not study?
d. A student who studies 5 hours for the exam scored 81 on the exam. Is this student's exam score above or below average among all students who studies 5 hours?

Answers

Solution :

Given :

Equation :

y = 6.3333 x + 53.0298

Here, x = number of hours studied

         y = the exam score

a). To predict the exam score, we have to replace x in the least square regression line by 2 :

   y = 6.3333 x + 53.0298

   y = 6.3333 (2) + 53.0298

      = 65.6964

Thus he predicted exam score is 65.6964

b). The slope is the co-efficient of x in the least squares regression line :

  Slope = 6.3333

 The slope represents the average increase in y as x increases by 1.

  The exam score increases on average by 6.3333 points per hour studied.

c). The mean score of the [tex]\text{ students who did not study}[/tex] (studied 0 hours) is obtained by replacing x in the least squares regression line by 0 :

  y = 6.3333 x + 53.0298        

 y = 6.3333 (0) + 53.0298

    = 53.0298

d). To predict the exam score of a student who studied 5 hours, we replace x in the least squares regression line by 2 :

   y = 6.3333 x + 53.0298

   y = 6.3333 (5) + 53.0298

   y = 84.6963

Thus the average exam score of a student who studied 5 hours is 84.6963

Since the actual exam score 81 is less than the average exam score of 84.6963 the student's exam score is below the average.

Which inequality represents all numbers x on a number line that are farther from −8 than from −4?

Answers

Answer:

x - 8>-4-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at x - 8>-4-x

Collect the like terms;

x+x > -4 + 8

2x < 4

x > 4/2

x < 2

Since the values of x are greater than 2,this shows that they are positive values and will be farther from -8 than -4

Answers

Answer:

7 hours and 15 minutes

6 hours hours and 45 minutes

5 hours and 12 minutes

6 hours and 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

MON: 7 1/4 hours

= 7 hours and 1/4 hours

1/4 hours = 1/4 × 60 minutes

= 60/4 minutes

= 15 minutes

7 1/4 hours = 7 hours and 15 minutes

TUE: 6 3/4 hours

= 6 hours and 3/4 hours

3/4 hours = 3/4 × 60 minutes

= 180/4 minutes

= 45 minutes

6 3/4 = 6 hours hours and 45 minutes

WED: 5 1/5 hours

= 5 hours and 1/5 hours

1/5 hours = 1/5 × 60 minutes

= 60/5 minutes

= 12 minutes

5 1/5 hours = 5 hours and 12 minutes

THU: 6 1/10 hours

= 6 hours and 1/10 hours

1/10 hours = 1/10 × 60 minutes

the answer is b. if you look at the line it intercepts with x at the point -8. and if you look at where it intercepts with y it’s at -2.

Answer:

Your answer would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

So right away you can get rid of a and d since they are positive numbers, there is no positive numbers in the graph were the line is.

So we know that the y-intercept is -2 (as you can see the line pass through (0,-2))

And we know the y intercept is -8 (since the line pass through (-8,0))

so you are left with b and c, c is incorrect because the -2 goes through the y-intercept not the x.

The right choice is b, it states that the x-intercept -8 pass through the line, the y-intercept is -2

Answer:

b. $0.02[tex]/in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]r =1in[/tex]

[tex]h = 10in[/tex]

[tex]Cost_{1pk} =\$3[/tex]

[tex]Cost_{2pk} =\$5[/tex]

Required

The difference in the price per [tex]in^3[/tex]

First, calculate the volume (V) of the cylinder

[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]V = 3.14 *1^2 * 10[/tex]

[tex]V = 31.4[/tex]

The unit cost of 1 pack is:

[tex]Unit_{1pk} = \frac{Cost_{1pk}}{V}[/tex]

[tex]Unit_{1pk} = \frac{\$3}{31.4in^3}[/tex]

The unit cost of 2 packs is:

[tex]Unit_{2pk} = \frac{Cost_{2pk}}{2*V}[/tex]

[tex]Unit_{2pk} = \frac{\$5}{2*31.4}[/tex]

[tex]Unit_{2pk} = \frac{\$5}{62.8in^3}[/tex]

The difference (d) is:

[tex]d = |Unit_{2pk} - Unit_{2pk}|[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{\$3}{31.4in^3} - \frac{\$5}{62.8in^3}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]d = \frac{\$6 - \$5}{62.8in^3}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{\$1}{62.8in^3}[/tex]

[tex]d = \$0.0159/in^3[/tex]

Which equation shows the point-slope form of the line that passes through (3, 2) and has a slope of 1/3
O y + 2 =1/3(x + 3)
O y-2=1/3(x-3)
O y + 3 = 1/3(x+ 2)
O y-3= 1/3(x-2)

Answers

Answer:

y - 2 = 1/3(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in the slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y1 = 1/3(x - x1)

Plug in the given point:

y - y1 = 1/3(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1/3(x - 3)

So, the correct answer is y - 2 = 1/3(x - 3)
