Dr. Smith is interested in the relationship between nicotine and hand steadiness. Two groups participated in the experiment. One group smoked 5 cigarettes in an hour, while another group read during the same hour. Participants are then tested on the hand steadiness apparatus (yielding a score with the number of errors made). What is the independent variable

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Exposure to nicotine is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is a factor that remains unchanged (by other factors in the experiment) throughout the course of an experiment. It can however be manipulated by the researcher. A dependent variable, on the other hand, is the factor being measured that relies on the independent variable. In the case above, exposure to 1 hr of nicotine intake forms the independent variable while the levels of hand steadiness, which will be measured, form the dependent variable.

You have been doing research for your statistics class on the prevalence of severe binge drinking among teens. You have decided to use 2011 Monitoring the Future (MTF) data that have a scale (from 0 to 14) measuring the number of times teens drank 10 or more alcoholic beverages in a single sitting in the past 2 weeks.
a. According to 2011 MTF data, the average severe binge drinking score, for this sample of 914 teens, is 1.27, with a standard deviation of 0.80. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true averse severe binge drinking score.
b. On of your classmates, who claims to be good at statistics, complains about your confidence interval calculation. She or he asserts that the severe binge drinking scores are not normally distributed, which in turn makes the confidence interval calculation meaningless. Assume that she or he is correct about the distribution of severe binge drinking scores. Does that imply that the calculation of a confidence interval is not appropriate? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

(1.218 ; 1.322)

the confidence interval is appropriate

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval :

Mean ± margin of error

Sample mean = 1.27

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.80

Sample size, n = 914

Since we are using tbe sample standard deviation, we use the T table ;

Margin of Error = Tcritical * s/√n

Tcritical at 95% ; df = 914 - 1 = 913

Tcritical(0.05, 913) = 1.96

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.80/√914 = 0.05186

Mean ± margin of error

1.27 ± 0.05186

Lower boundary = 1.27 - 0.05186 = 1.218

Upper boundary = 1.27 + 0.05186 = 1.322

(1.218 ; 1.322)

According to the central limit theorem, sample means will approach a normal distribution as the sample size increases. Hence, the confidence interval is valid, the sample size of 914 gave a critical value at 0.05 which is only marginally different from that will obtained using a normal distribution table. Hence, the confidence interval is appropriate

Please help me with this question

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]f'(x) = x^2e^{2x^3}[/tex] and [tex]f(0) = 0[/tex]

We can solve for f(x) by writing

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \int f'(x)dx=\int x^2e^{2x^3}dx[/tex]

Let [tex]u = 2x^3[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:du=6x^2dx[/tex]

Then

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \int x^2e^{2x^3}dx = \dfrac{1}{6}\int e^u du[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{1}{6}e^{2x^3} + k[/tex]

We know that f(0) = 0 so we can find the value for k:

[tex]f(0) = \frac{1}{6}(1) + k \Rightarrow k = -\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{6} \left(e^{2x^3} - 1 \right)[/tex]

Determine the volume and the surface area of the three dimension figure

Answers

Answer:

Volume = 18 cm^3

Surface Area = 58 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume with the formula V=w*h*l

W= width

H = height

L = length

W= 2cm

H= 1 cm

L= 9 cm

V= w*h*l

V= 2cm * 1 cm * 9cm

V= 18 cm^3

Find the surface area with the formula A= 2(w*l + h*l + h* w)

W= width

H = height

L = length

W= 2cm

H= 1 cm

L= 9 cm

A= 2(w*l + h*l + h* w)

A= 2(2cm*9cm + 1cm*9cm + 1cm* 2cm)

A= 2(29cm)

A= 58cm^2

If $100 is interested at 6% compounded:
a-Annually

What is the amount after 4 years? How much interest is earned?

Answers

To find the simple interest we'll plug it into one of the two available formulas. I will use both formulas so you can determine which is easiest for you, for future problems.

                                     r = I/Pt         or     I = Prt

                                     (the / represents division)

Let's define and plug.

r = the rate (we'll be solving for r)

I = the total interest earned within the time frame ($2)

P= the principal amount ($100)

t = the total time the principal accrued interest. (6 months/ .5years)

**Because this is in a monthly basis, lets change it into a year to make it easier**

we'll just divide 6 months by 12 months.

6 ÷ 12 = 0.5 years

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

Let's use the first formula first. r = I / Pt

r = 2 / 100 (0.5)

100 x 0.5 = 50

We're now left with:            r = 2 / 50

Divide what we have left.

2 ÷ 50 = 0.04

This is our simple interest but we have to convert it into a percentage. To convert the decimal to the percentage, we'll move the decimal two places to the right to  make 4.0.

Therefore, our simple interest would be 4%

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

let's set up the second formula:  I = Prt

2 = 100 (r) (0.5)

2 = 50 (r)

2 ÷ 50 = 0.04

0.04 in percentage = 4%

A home gardener estimates that 24 apple trees will have an average yield of 104 apples per tree. But because of the size of the garden, for each additional tree planted the yield will decrease by two apples per tree. (a) How many additional trees should be planted to maximize the total yield of apples

Answers

Answer:

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Trees = 24[/tex]

[tex]Yield = 104[/tex]

[tex]x \to additional\ trees[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Trees = 24 + x[/tex]

[tex]Yield = 104 - 2x[/tex]

Required

The additional trees to be planted for maximum yield

The function is:

[tex]f(x) = Trees * Yield[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = (24 + x) * (104 - 2x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]f(x) = 24 * 104 + 104x - 24 * 2x - x * 2x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 2796 + 104x - 48x - 2x^2[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 2796 + 56x - 2x^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f(x) = - 2x^2 + 56x + 2796[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]f'(x) = -4x + 56[/tex]

Equate [tex]f'(x) = -4x + 56[/tex] to 0 and solve for x to get the maximum of x

[tex]-4x + 56 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-4x =- 56[/tex]

Divide by -4

[tex]x =14[/tex]

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

A test taker gets 70 on 1st exam, 80 on 2nd exam, 2/3 of 4/5 of his 2nd exam on his 3rd test. If the professor gives 5 points extra credit on his 4th exam and his average score is 80, what was his score on the 4th exam

Answers

Answer:  127

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

Explanation:

The phrasing "2/3 of 4/5 of his 2nd exam on his 3rd test" is a bit clunky in my opinion. It seems more complicated than it has to be.

The student got 80 on the second exam. 4/5 of this is (4/5)*80 = 0.8*80 = 64. Then we take 2/3 of this to get (2/3)*64 = 42.667 approximately. If we assume only whole number scores are given, then this would round to 43.

Let x be the score on the fourth exam. Since 5 points of extra credit are given, the student actually got x+5 points on this exam.

So we have these scores

first exam = 70second exam = 80third exam = 43fourth exam = x+5

Adding up these scores and dividing by 4 will get us the average

(sum of scores)/(number of scores) = average

(70+80+43+x+5)/4 = 80

(x+198)/4 = 80

x+198 = 4*80

x+198 = 320

x = 320 - 198

x = 122

So the student got a score of x+5 = 122+5 = 127 on the fourth exam.
