You've developed a protein drink that you think cures arthritis. To test it, you find 200 volunteers (100 men and 100 women) and

test them to measure the amount of discomfort they feel from their arthritis. Then you give the treatment to half the subjects and a placebo to the others. You then test them all at regular intervals and measure their improvement. You find that the subjects who received the treatment show marked improvement. The people performing the tests are not told that they're studying an arthritis medication. You excitedly report your findings in an infomercial that is seen by millions of people, and sales skyrocket. But were the test results truly useful for determining the effectiveness of the treatment? Why or why not?
A. No, there was no control.
B. Yes, it's a blind-study.
C. Yes, it's a valid before-and-after design.
D. Can't be determined without knowing how much improvement was measured.
E. No, there was no replication.

Answer:

The answer is A. No, there was no control.

Explanation:

Despite it was observed that the subjects who received treatment show marked improvement, the test results are not truly useful for determining the effectiveness of the treatment because there was no control group with which to analyze/compare the marked improvement of the subjects with: the effectiveness of the treatment would have been more valid if there was a control group that didn’t take treatment.

Summarize what happened during the Islamic Golden Age of Learning
algol13

Explanation:

The Abbasid caliphs established the city of Baghdad in 762 CE. It became a center of learning and the hub of what is known as the Golden Age of Islam.

The Islamic Golden Age refers to a period in the history of Islam, traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 13th century, during which much of the historically Islamic world was ruled by various caliphates and science, economic development, and cultural works flourished. This period is traditionally understood to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786–809) with the inauguration of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where scholars from various parts of the world with different cultural backgrounds were mandated to gather and translate all of the world’s classical knowledge into the Arabic language.

Based on the responses a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes t
Serga [27]

Answer:

Number of students ; 60

Explanation:

Using the formula for p +- z * Sqrt ( pq/n )

Let us first calculate the Margin of Error

= 0.816 –0.7 = 0.116

•z* = 1.96

P = (0.584 + 0.116 ) = 0.7

Q = 1- p = 1 – 0.7 = 0.3

Now inserting the values in the formula; we get

0.116 = 1.96 x sqrt { ( 0.7 x 0.3) / n }

Solving the above equation

N = 60 (rounded off to nearest number)

Hence the number of students that were selected by the environmental teacher in the sample is 60
