Ten subjects are being studied to test the effectiveness of itch relief for three types of medication: A, B, and C. Using a 10-point scale, the researcher calculates the subjects' amount of itching
before treatment compared with the amount of itching after treatment. The response variable is the itch rating after one hour of treatment. Previous studies have shown the effects of
treatment may vary based on a subject's pain resistance. How should the subjects be blocked? Explain. (4 points)
They should be blocked alphabetically so the subjects are as different as possible.
They should be blocked by age because older subjects tend to itch more.
They should be blocked by gender because female subjects tend to itch more.
They should be blocked by pain resistance so the subjects are as similar as possible.
O Blocking should not be used in this experiment.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Choice D

They should be blocked by pain resistance so the subjects are as similar as possible.

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

Explanation:

The process of blocking in statistics is where we group up people in blocks, and each block is determined by a characteristic of some sort. In this case, we're grouping people up by pain resistance level. Those very resistant to pain will be in one group, while those who easily feel pain will be in another block, and so on. It might be effective to have a pain scale and sort people by that.

Blocking is done so that we eliminate unwanted variability. We are testing the effectiveness of the itching cream, so all we care about is if the itch reduces or not. We aren't worried about the levels of pain. However, it says that "Previous studies have shown the effects of treatment may vary based on a subject's pain resistance". So we group up the people by pain tolerance to help eliminate the variability of pain tolerance levels.

This is why choice D is the final answer.

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

Extra info:

Choice A is false because a person's name doesn't have anything to do with if the treatment works or not.Choice B is false because we weren't given any info to indicate it being true. It may be true, but we simply don't have enough info to confirm it. Choice C is false for similar reasons as choice B.
Answer 2

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is due to the question explicitly stating how the previous studies have shown the effects of treatment may vary based on a subjects pain resistance. This leads to the only option that relates to the study's background, D

Luke bought his car for £18000

Work out how much his car will be worth after 4 years.

Answers

Answer:

£9360

Step-by-step explanation:

£18000× 12 ÷100 = £2160

£2160 × 4 = £8640

£18000 - £8640 = £9360

Members of a soccer team raised $1719 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for
$1051.50 and budgeted $44.50 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation
which can be used to determine z, the number of players the team can bring to the
tournament.

Answers

Answer:

44.5x + 1051.5 = 1719

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

DeltaMath

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament is 15.

Given:

The total amount of money raised by the soccer team = $1719

Amount to rent the bus = $1051.50

Amount budgeted for each player's meal = $44.50

To find:

Equation and the number of players the team can bring to the  tournament

Solution:

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament = z

Amount budgeted for each player's meal = $44.50

Total amount needed for z number of players' meals =  $44.50z

Amount to rent the bus = $1051.50

The total amount of money raised by the soccer team = $1719

The equation for numbers of players will be written as:

[tex]\$44.50z+ \$1051.50= \$1719\\\$44.50z= \$1719- \$1051.50\\\$44.50z=\$667.50\\z=\frac{\$667.50}{\$44.50}=15[/tex]

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament is 15.

Factor the expression using the GCF. 58+28=

Answers

Answer:

2(29+14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

To find the GCF of 58+28..

Find the GCF of 58+28:

[tex]58=29[/tex]·[tex]2[/tex] [tex]28=14[/tex]·[tex]2[/tex]

Rewrite:

[tex]2(29+14)[/tex]

Therefore, using GCF, the new expression would be 2(29+14)..

The expression 58 + 28 can be factorized as 2 (29 + 14).

What is GCF?

GCF which is the abbreviated form for Greatest Common Factor of two numbers, as the name implies, is the greatest common factor of both the numbers.

GCF of two numbers can be found using prime factorization.

Given the expression 58 + 28.

To find the GCF of two numbers, list the prime factors of these two numbers.

58 = 2 × 29

28 = 2 × 14 = 2 × 2 × 7

The only common factor is 2.

So the greatest common factor is 2.

58 + 28 = (2 × 29) + (2 × 14)

Taking the common factor of 2 outside the brackets,

58 + 28 = 2 (29 + 14)

Hence the expression 58 + 28 can be factorized as 2 (29 + 14) using the greatest common factor.

The slope of the line is _______.
A. positive
B. negative
C. zero
D. undefined

Answers

Answer:

the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes through: (-1, -2)  and ( 2, 1)

Then the slope can be calculated as:

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

in our case:

slope = (1 - -2) / (2 - -1) = (1 + 2) / (2 + 1) = 3 / 3 = 1

Therefore, the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)

*The equation can be put into Desmos, to find the point, but the work to prove it is here*

f(x)=c/1+Ae^-Bx

Y=C

C=18      A=3      -B=-0.1

*Replace x with 0 in the equation, so you know 0 is the x value, and it leads you to the y value*

f(0)=18/1+3e^-o.1(0)

= 18/1+3e^0

=18/1+3(1)

=18/1+3

=18/4
