Sickle-cell disease is a painful disorder of the red blood cells that in the United States affects mostly African Americans. To

investigate whether the drug hydroxyurea can reduce the pain associated with sickle-cell disease, a study by the National Institutes of Health gave the drug to 150 sickle-cell sufferers and a placebo to another 150 sufferers. The researchers then counted the number of episodes of pain reported by each subject. What is the response variable in this study

Answer:

<u>The response variable is; reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, a response variable (dependent variable) simply refers to resulting effect (either significant or insignificant effect) of the independent variable on the subjects of the experiment.

In other words, the effect of the drug hydroxyurea after the experiment would show whether it leads to or not lead to a reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.

Write an equation for the proportional relationship. Can you compare these two tables?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Y=1.88x

Step-by-step explanation:

x1=2 x2=3, y1=3.76 y2=5.64

(2, 3.76) (3, 5.64)

m(slope) =5.64-3.76/3-2

m=1.88

y-3.76=1.88(x-2)

y-3.76=1.88x-3.76

Y=1.88x

Please solve the problem with steps
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Infinite series equals 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the series can be written as a combination of two geometric series, that can be found independently:

\frac{3^{n-1}-1}{6^{n-1}} =\frac{3^{n-1}}{6^{n-1}} -\frac{1}{6^{n-1}} =(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1} -\frac{1}{6^{n-1}}

The first one: (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1} is a geometric sequence of first term (a_1) "1" and common ratio (r) " \frac{1}{2} ", so since the common ratio is smaller than one, we can find an answer for the infinite addition of its terms, given by: Infinite\,Sum=\frac{a_1}{1-r} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} } =2

The second one: \frac{1}{6^{n-1}} is a geometric sequence of first term "1", and common ratio (r) " \frac{1}{6} ". Again, since the common ratio is smaller than one, we can find its infinite sum:

Infinite\,Sum=\frac{a_1}{1-r} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{6} } =\frac{1}{\frac{5}{6} } =\frac{6}{5}

now we simply combine the results making sure we do the indicated difference: Infinite total sum= 2-\frac{6}{5} =\frac{10-6}{5} =\frac{4}{5}

Answer:

h = 19.7 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagoras Theorem

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2 + (Perpendicular)^2\\\\(20)^2=(3.5)^2+(h)^2\\400=12.25+h^2\\400-12.25=h^2\\387.75=h^2\\

Now we take square root on both sides,

\sqrt{387.75} =\sqrt{h^2}\\19.69=h\\h=19.7\ ft\\

so the value of h equals 19.7 ft.
