Answer:
To provide a baseline for judging the survival rates of infants who received whole-body cooling
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the purpose of the experiment is to see whether reducing body temperature for three days after birth increased the rate of survival without brain damage.
Then, the proposed method (whole-body cooling) has to be contrasted with the baseline, in this case, the "usual care". If we want to know if this proposed method is statistically better, we have to compare with these baseline with random sampling out of the same population.
If it is not compared to nothing or to a new method, it wouldn't be possible to conclude if the method is better or not than the usual care.
Answer:
The claim made by the researcher lacks the validity on basis of reasons as indicated in the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The claim made by the researcher is not valid on basis of following reasons:
- Interacting variables are not mapped accurately. The additional variables as the health status of the volunteers, eating and fitness habits are not considered in the consideration. This results in a in complete validation.
- The placebo effect is not catered accordingly. As the half of the volunteers are taking nothing, this is not the direct influence of the placebo and thus double-blinded testing for placebo effect is to be ensured in future experiments.
- The environmental effects are not considered as the effect under study is dependent on the environmental effects, thus the claim is biased and the generalization is not valid.
Answer:
In the graph of a circle, we can easily draw a straight vertical line passing through its center. This will hit the top and the bottom of the shape. Since this line hits two points, a circle's graph is not a function. We can also observe the equation of a circle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x+1)<3(2x-3)
simplify to
8x+2<6x-9
we can add 9 to both sides and subtract 8x from both sides
11<-2x
divide by -2
-5.5>x
75% of x = 63
<span>75/100 * x = 63 </span>
<span>So dividing by 75 / 100 on both sides </span>
<span>x = 63 / 75 / 100 </span>
<span>x = 63*100/75 </span>
<span>x = 84 </span>
<span>The number is 84 </span>
<span>So 75% of 84 = 63! </span>
<span>Hope that helps!</span>
