For each of the following cases [(a), (b), and (c)], (I) state whether the study should be observational or experimental. (II) state whether the study should be run blind, doubleblind, or neither. If the study should be run blind or double-blind, who should be blinded?(a) An investigation of whether taking aspirin reduces one’s chance of having a heart attack.(b) An investigation of whether babies born into poor families (family income below $25,000) are more likely to weigh less than 5.5 pounds at birth than babies born into wealthy families (family income above $65,000).(c) An investigation of whether the size of the midsagittal plane of the anterior commisssure (a part of the brain) of a man is related to the sexual orientation of the man.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) An investigation of whether taking aspirin reduces one’s chance of having a heart attack.

Experimental

Neither blind nor double-blind (unless a placebo is being administered to some participants).

(b) An investigation of whether babies born into poor families (family income below $25,000) are more likely to weigh less than 5.5 pounds at birth than babies born into wealthy families (family income above $65,000).

Observational

There is no blinding issue here.

(c) An investigation of whether the size of the midsagittal plane of the anterior commissure (a part of the brain) of a man is related to the sexual orientation of the man.

Observational

There is no blinding issue here.

Step-by-step explanation:

An observational study happens where some variables are observed to determine their correlations.   On the other hand, in experimental studies, the researcher controls certain variables to determine causality.  Therefore, an experimental study provides evidence of cause and effect, like in (a) above.

A box is formed by cutting squares from the four corners of a sheet of paper and folding up the sides.
Suppose the paper is 7"-wide by 9"-long.
a. Estimate the maximum volume for this box?
b. What cutout length produces the maximum volume?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question it is necessary to find the volume of the box as a function of "x", and apply the concepts of a maximum of a function.

The solution is:

a) V (max) = 36.6 in³

b) x = 1.3 in

The volume of a cube is:

V(c) = w×L×h  ( in³)

In this case, cutting the length  "x" from each side, means:

wide of the box    ( w - 2×x )   equal to  ( 7 - 2×x )

Length of the box ( L - 2×x )   equal to  ( 9 - 2×x )

The height  is  x

Then the volume of the box,  as a function of x is:

V(x) = ( 7 - 2×x ) × ( 9 -2×x ) × x

V(x) = ( 63 - 14×x - 18×x + 4×x²)×x

V(x) = 4×x³ - 32×x² + 63×x

Tacking derivatives,  on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12×x² - 64 ×x + 63

If   V´(x) = 0      then      12×x² - 64 ×x + 63 = 0

This expression is a second-degree equation, solving for x

x₁,₂ = [ 64 ± √ (64)² - 4×12*63

x₁ =  ( 64 + 32.74 )/ 24

x₁ = 4.03     this value  will bring us an unfeasible solution,  since it is not possible to cut 2×4 in from a piece of paper of 7 in ( therefore we dismiss that value)

x₂ = ( 64 - 32.74)/24

x₂ = 1.30 in

The  maximum volume of the box is:

V(max) = ( 7 - 2.60) × ( 9 - 2.60)×1.3

V(max) = 4.4 × 6.4 × 1.3

V(max) = 36.60 in³

To chek for maximum value of V when x = 1.3

we find the second derivative of V  V´´,  and substitute the value of x = 1.3,    if the relation is smaller than 0,  we have a maximum value of V

V´´(x) = 24×x - 64 for x = 1.3

V´´(x) = 24× 1.3 - 64            ⇒   V´´(x) < 0

Then the value  x = 1.3 will bring maximum value for V

find the values of the six trigonometric functions for angle theta in standard position if a point with the coordinates (1, -8) lies on its terminal side

Answers

Answer:

cosФ = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}[/tex] , sinФ = [tex]-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}[/tex] , tanФ = -8, secФ = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] , cscФ = [tex]-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}[/tex] , cotФ = [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position, then the six trigonometry functions are:

cosФ = [tex]\frac{x}{r}[/tex]sinФ = [tex]\frac{y}{r}[/tex]tanФ = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]secФ = [tex]\frac{r}{x}[/tex]cscФ = [tex]\frac{r}{y}[/tex]cotФ = [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]Where r = [tex]\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }[/tex] (the length of the terminal side from the origin to point (x, y)You should find the quadrant of (x, y) to adjust the sign of each function

∵ Point (1, -8) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position

∵ x is positive and y is negative

→ That means the point lies on the 4th quadrant

∴ Angle Ф is on the 4th quadrant

∵ In the 4th quadrant cosФ and secФ only have positive values

∴ sinФ, secФ, tanФ, and cotФ have negative values

→ let us find r

∵ r = [tex]\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }[/tex]

∵ x = 1 and y = -8

∴ r = [tex]\sqrt{x} \sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}=\sqrt{1+64}=\sqrt{65}[/tex]

→ Use the rules above to find the six trigonometric functions of Ф

∵ cosФ = [tex]\frac{x}{r}[/tex]

∴ cosФ = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}[/tex]

∵ sinФ = [tex]\frac{y}{r}[/tex]

∴ sinФ = [tex]-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}[/tex]

∵ tanФ = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

∴ tanФ = [tex]-\frac{8}{1}[/tex] = -8

∵ secФ = [tex]\frac{r}{x}[/tex]

∴ secФ = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{65}}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex]

∵ cscФ = [tex]\frac{r}{y}[/tex]

∴ cscФ = [tex]-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}[/tex]

∵ cotФ = [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

∴ cotФ = [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

1. You are eating on a Tootsie Roll Lollipop that is in the shape of a sphere. It is giving up volume at a steady rate of 0.25 in3 /min. How fast will the radius be decreasing when the Tootsie Roll Pop is .75 inches across?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Tootsie Roll lollipop is a sphere

volume of sphere= [tex]\frac{4}{3}piR^3[/tex] = -0.25 [tex]in^3/min[/tex]

the negative sign indicates that the volume is decreasing

upon differentiating

as the diameter given is =0.75 so radius will be = 0.375

[tex]dV/dt = 4piR^2*dR/dt[/tex]

so [tex]dR/dt = 0.25/4*3.14 *(0.375)^2[/tex]

So the radius is decreasing at the rate of dR/dt= 0.142in/min

Number of hearts = 13

Diamond = 13

Spade = 13

Club = 13

Each of heart, club diamond and spade has is numbered from (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Ace, queen, Jack, king)

Hence, a club, diamond, spade and heart has one of each of the above numbers.

a. List the sample points in the event a jack is selected.

Jack : ( heart, club, diamond, spade)

B.) club is selected :

Cub : (Ace, 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,king,queen,jack)

C)

Jack : ( heart, club, diamond, spade)

Queen : (heart, club, diamond, spade)

King : (heart, club, diamond, spade)

D) probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(jack selected) = 4 /52 = 1/13

P(club selected). = 13/52 = 1/4

P(face card selected) = 12 / 52 = 3/13

Answers

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 by 2, and get 4, then we multiply 3 by 2 and get 6.

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 4 + 4 = 8. That gives us the sum, which is 8/6. Then you divide by 2.  So 8/6 / 2 gives you 4/3.

Answer:

4/3 or 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4/6 + 2/3

2. 4/6 + 4/6          You have to find the LCM (least common multiple) of the two  denominators. In this case it would be 6. You have to multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. What you do to the bottom you also do to the top so you have to also multiply the numerator (2) by 2.

3. 4/3 or 1 1/3       Afterward, you just have to add straight across without changing the denominator and then if you need to simplify you simplify. Without simplifying, you would get 8/6, but, most teachers will mark it as wrong if you don't simplify. You can then change the improper fraction into a mixed number depending on what your teacher wants.

The life span of a graphing calculator manufactured by Texas Instruments has a normal distribution with a mean of 54 months and a standard deviation of 8 months. The company guarantees that any calculator that starts malfunctioning within 36 months of the purchase will be replaced by a new one. You apply the normal model and discover that this is approximately 1.22% of their graphing calculators. Texas Instruments has sold 75 million graphing calculators world- wide. How many of these would you expect to malfunction within 3 months (and thus need to be replaced)? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of graphing calculators that malfunctions within 3 months and need to be replaced is 915,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the number of graphing calculator that starts malfunctioning within 36 months of the purchase and needs to be replaced by a new one.

It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with a mean of 54 months and a standard deviation of 8 months.

Also, using the normal model it was determined that 1.22% of graphing calculator manufactured by Texas Instruments malfunctions and needs replacement.

That is,

P (X) = 0.0122

Texas Instruments has sold 75 million graphing calculators world- wide.

Compute the expected number of graphing calculators that malfunctions within 3 months and need to be replaced as follows:

E (X) = n × P (X)

        = 75 × 10⁶ × 0.0122

        = 915000

Thus, the expected number of graphing calculators that malfunctions within 3 months and need to be replaced is 915,000.
