The answer is homeostasis.

Homeostasis is a mechanism which controls internal conditions of an organism so that internal conditions remain stable without regard to the external conditions. So, it regulates body temperature, water level, sugar level, etc. It works through negative feedback mechanism. For example, if body temperature is increased, the body detects the change and activate mechanisms that decrease body temperature. Without homeostasis, the organisms could not survive.

Define the term collateral blood flow, and describe how this and other factors affect the development of stroke.

ahrayia [7]

Collateral blood flow is an enlargement vessel that opens to cause a detour around a blockage. When an artery in the brain is block (TIA) open collateral vessels can allow blood to bypass the blockage to restore blood flow to the affected area.

Answer:

(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Explanation:

Given

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$

$10th\ run = 9$

So:

$B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

Required

Select all true statements

(a) & (d) Median Comparisons

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$ $B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

Arrange the data:

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{11}{2}th$

$Median = 5th$ $Median = 5.5}th$ --- average of 5th and 6th

$Median = 2$ $Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2$

Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

(b) & (c) Interquartile Range Comparisons

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th$ [Odd n] $Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th$ [Even n]

$Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th$ $Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$

$Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$ $Q_1 = 2.5$

$Q_1 = 2.5th$

This means that:

$Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$ $Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$

$Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1)$ $Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)$

$Q_1 = 1$ $Q_1 = 1$

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th$ [Odd n] $Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th$ [Even n]

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th$ $Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$

$Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$ $Q_3 = 7.5th$

$Q_3 = 7.5th$

This means that:

$Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$ $Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$

$Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2)$ $Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)$

$Q_3 = 2.5$ $Q_3 = 3$

The interquartile range is $IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

So, we have:

$IQR = 2.5 - 1$ $IQR = 3 - 1$

$IQR = 1.5$ $IQR =2$

(b) is true because B has a greater IQR than A

(e) This is false because some spread measures (which include quartiles and the interquartile range) changed when the 10th data is included.

The upper quartile and the interquartile range of A and B are not equal

Briefly describe how other parts of the universe were formed?

Mice21 [21]

1. An infinitely dense atom of matter explodes, releasing all matter in the known universe.

2. This matter clumps together forming rocks and dust; that which doesnt compact remains as gas.

3. The rocks and dust are pulled in to each other by their own gravity. These clumps get bigger and bigger, and form planets.

4. Gas and dust clouds, better known as nebulae, (sing. nebula) begin to react, clump together and generate heat. Stars are formed out of these nebulae (unsure of the process).

5. The stars, with their powerful gravitational pulls, drag in planets to form solar systems. This happens on a larger scale as well, as groups of millions of stars are formed into galaxies, huge swirling discs containing millions of stars each.

That's where we are today.
