You've developed a protein drink that you think cures arthritis. to test it, you find 200 volunteers (100 men and 100 women) and test them to measure the amount of discomfort they feel from their arthritis. then you give the treatment to half the subjects and a placebo to the others. you then test them all at regular intervals and measure their improvement. you find that the subjects who received the treatment show marked improvement. the people performing the tests are not told that they're studying an arthritis medication. you excitedly report your findings in an infomercial that is seen by millions of people, and sales skyrocket. but were the test results truly useful for determining the effectiveness of the treatment? why or why not? a. no, there was no control. b. yes, it's a blind-study. c. yes, it's a valid before-and-after design. d. can't be determined without knowing how much improvement was measured. e. no, there was no replication.

Answer:

49, 51, 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd integer be n.

Then the consecutive odd integer will be (n+2).

This will be followed by (n+4).

We know that the sum of these three is 153. In other words:

[tex]n+(n+2)+(n+4)=153[/tex]

Solve for n. Combine like terms:

[tex]3n+6=153[/tex]

Subtract 6 from both sides:

[tex]3n=147[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]n=49[/tex]

Therefore, our first odd number is 49.

So, our consecutive numbers must be 51 and 53.

Hence, our sequence is:

49, 51, 53

Notes:

If we get an even number for n or a non-integer value, then there are no three consecutive odd integers that sum to 153.

Answer:

49, 51, 53

Step-by-step explanation:

All odd numbers:

49 + 51 = 100

100 + 53 = 153

Answer:

7-pound bag of barley for $6.72 is a better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

7-pound bag of barley for $6.72

6.72 : 7 = 0.96

check your work: 0.96 x 7 = 6.72

so for the first offer you will be paying $0.96 per pound

312-ounce bag of barley for $28.08

1 pound = 16 ounces

312 ounces = 19.5 pounds

28.08 : 19.5 = 1.44

for the second offer you will be paying $1.44 per pound of barley. 7-pound bag of barley for $6.72 is a better buy because you will be less for each pound.

Answer:

A) 11/P + 6

Let Ben’s age now be B

Anita’s age now is A.

(A - 6) = P(B - 6)

But A is 17 and therefore 11 = P(B - 6)

11/P = B-6

(11/P) + 6 = B

Answer:

[tex]\%Increase = 36\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial = 8.50[/tex]

[tex]Final = 11.56[/tex]

Required

Determine the percentage increase

Percentage increase is calculated using:

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial} * 100\%[/tex]

Substitute values for Final and Initial

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{11.56 - 8.50}{8.50} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{3.06}{8.50} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{3.06 * 100\%}{8.50}[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{306\%}{8.50}[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = 36\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage increase in price is 36%

Answer: 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

6/10 x 6.10= 36/100

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the product of 0.43 and 5.024 so see if it is greater than 0.43.

 0.43 * 5.024 = 2.16032  

2.16032 is indeed greater than 0.43  ,  2.16032 > 0.43

And 0.43 is indeed less than 5.024 , 0.43 < 5.024  

Meaning that this state is true.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Product refers to multiplication, the question is telling us to multiply 0.43 and 5.024 so lets do that

0.43 * 5.024 = 2.16032

Now we have to figure out if this fits the criteria. It must be larger than 0.43 but smaller then 5.024

...

...

...

That checks out.

True

Answer:

Length = 7 ft

Breadth = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let lenght of rectangle be x

and breadth be y

Area = [tex]49\ \text{ft}^2[/tex]

[tex]xy=49\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{49}{y}[/tex]

Permiter of a rectangle is given by

[tex]P=2(x+y)\\\Rightarrow P=2x+2y\\\Rightarrow P=2\times\dfrac{49}{y}+2y\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{98}{y}+2y[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to y we get

[tex]\dfrac{dP}{dy}=-\dfrac{98}{y^2}+2[/tex]

Equating with zero

[tex]0=-\dfrac{98}{y^2}+2\\\Rightarrow -2=-\dfrac{98}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow y^2=\dfrac{98}{2}\\\Rightarrow y^2=49\\\Rightarrow y=7[/tex]

Double derivative of the equation

[tex]\dfrac{d^2P}{dy^2}=2\dfrac{98}{y^3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d^2P}{dy^2}=\dfrac{196}{y^3}>0[/tex]

So the value of y is minimum at 7.

[tex]x=\dfrac{49}{y}=\dfrac{49}{7}\\\Rightarrow x=7[/tex]

Hence, [tex]x=7,y=7[/tex]

The mimimum length and breadth of the rectangle is both 7 ft.

Answer:[tex] \huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{ x = - 2}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf{ - 6x + 13 = - 5(7 + 6x) }[/tex]

Distribute -5 through the parentheses

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 13 =  - 5 \times 7  + ( - 5 )\times 6x}}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x  + 13 =  - 35 + ( - 30x)}}[/tex]

[tex] \text{Remember} : \sf{( + ) \times ( - ) = ( - )}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 13 =  - 35 - 30x}}[/tex]

Move 30x to left hand side and change it's sign

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 30x + 13 = - 35}}[/tex]

Move 13 to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side ) and change it's sign[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6x + 30x= - 35 - 13}}[/tex]

Combine like terms

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{24x = - 35 - 13}}[/tex]

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign.[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{24x = - 48 }}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 24

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{24x}{24} = \frac{ - 48}{24}}} [/tex]

Dividing a negative integer by a positive integers gives a negative integer.

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{x = -2 }}[/tex]

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

L.H.S = -6x + 13

Plug the value of x and simplify

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 6 \times ( - 2) + 13}}[/tex]

Multiplying negative integers by a negative integer gives a positive integer.

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ 12 + 13}}[/tex]

Add the numbers : 12 and 13

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{25}}[/tex]

R.H.S = -5 ( 7 + 6x )

plug the value of x and simplify

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5(7 + 6 \times ( - 2)}})[/tex]

Multiplying a positive integer by any negative integer gives a negative integer.

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf - 5(7 + ( - 12)}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{-5(7 - 12)}}[/tex]

Subtract 12 from 7

[tex] \longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 5 \times ( - 5)}}[/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow{\sf{25}}[/tex]

L.H.S = R.H.S

The value of x is -2 .

Answer:

(a) 0.1325

(b) 0.4045

(c) 0.463

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of defective transistors.

The proportion of defective transistors is, p = 4/11 = 0.364.

All the transistors are independent of the others.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution.

(a)

Compute the probability that both transistors are defective, if 2 transistors are drawn from the box together as follows:

[tex]P(X=2)={2\choose 2}(0.364)^{2}(1-0.364)^{2-2}\\\\=1\times 0.132496\times 1\\\\=0.132496\\\\\approx 0.1325[/tex]

(b)

Compute the probability that neither transistors are defective, if 2 transistors are drawn from the box together as follows:

[tex]P(X=0)={2\choose 0}(0.364)^{0}(1-0.364)^{2-0}\\\\=1\times 1\times 0.404496\\\\=0.404496\\\\\approx 0.4045[/tex]

(c)

Compute the probability that one transistors are defective, if 2 transistors are drawn from the box together as follows:

[tex]P(X=1)={2\choose 1}(0.364)^{1}(1-0.364)^{2-1}\\\\=2\times 0.364\times 0.636\\\\=0.463008\\\\\approx 0.463[/tex]

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Elijah can build 5 model airplanes in 150 minutes. He can build 1 model airplane in 30 minutes. To find this you divide 150 by 5. The question asks for how many minutes it would take Elijah to build 15 model airplanes. Since 1 x 15 = 15 model airplanes, you use proportions and also multiple the time by 15, so 30 x 15 = 450 minutes.

Answer:

450 Minutes or 7 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the rate of Sets to minutes is 1:30 for every 1 he builds it take 30 minutes so 30 x 15 = 450 or 150 x 3 because every 5 sets there 150 minutes

Answer:

8:17

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x²+8 is equivalent to ( x + 2√2i) ( x - 2√2i).The correct option is D.

An expression is a statement consisting of variables, constants, and mathematical operators.

The expression x²+8 can be written as

( x )² - ( 2√2i)²

This is representing the binomial Identity

a² - b² = ( a+b) (a-b)

here a = x , b =2√2i

The expression can be written as

( x )² - ( 2√2i)² = ( x + 2√2i) ( x - 2√2i)

Therefore, The correct option is D.

Answer:

x = 381.52

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing 92% in decimal form: 92% = 0.92

Now we want to find 92% of what number "x" equals 351, and write the equation in math form that represents such statement:

0.92 * x = 351

solve for "x" by dividing both sides by 0.92:

x = 351/0.92

which gives approximately:

x = 381.52
