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.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the graph, you notice there is no data to determine the slope, but there (0,b) represents the y-intercept. So my guess is, they give you a clue what the slope is already, but if you notice the y-intercept lowers the linear line a few notches because (0,18) is lower than the (0,30). That is what I would choose as the answer

Maradee works at Cox's Jewelers for $7.50 per hour with time-and-a-half for all hours over 40 in a week. Thus, her weekly salary
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) 395.725

b) 378.75

c) 8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) S(8.5) = 11.25(8.5) + 300 = 395.625

b) if she worked 47 hrs, that means there were 7 overtime, h=7 and we have to find S(7).

S(7) = 11.25(7) + 300 = 378.75

c) her salary was 398.61, that means S(h) = 398.61 and we have to find h.

398.61 = 11.25(h) + 300

98.61 = 11.25(h)

h = 98.61 / 11.25

h= 8.8

Two traffic lights operate independently. Your probability of being stopped at the first one is 0.4 and your probability of bein
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Most people found the probability of just stopping at the first light and the probability of just stopping at the second light and added them together. I'm just going to show another valid way to solve this problem. You can solve these kinds of problems whichever way you prefer.

There are three possibilities we need to consider:

Being stopped at both lights

Being stopped at neither light

Being stopped at exactly one light

The sum of the probabilities of all of the events has to be 1 because there is a 100% chance that one of these possibilities has to occur, so the probability of being stopped at exactly one light is 1 minus the probability of being stopped at both lights minus the probability of being stopped at neither.

Because the lights are independent, the probability of being stopped at both lights is just the probability of being stopped at the first light times the probability of being stopped at the second light. (0.4)(0.7) = 0.28

The probability of being stopped at neither is the probability of not being stopped at the first light, which is 1-0.4 or 0.6, times the probability of not being stopped at the second light, which is 1-0.7 or 0.3. (0.6)(0.3) = 0.18

The difference of 3 times a number and 15 is no less than the square of the number.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(B) The inequality that represents this relationship is 3x  < x^2 +15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the given number = x

⇒ 3 times the given number = 3 (x)  = 3x

Square of the given number = (x)^2  = x^2

Now, According to the question:

The difference of (3 x) and 15 is no less than x^2

⇒ 3x - 15 < x^2\\ \implies 3x  < x^2 +15

or, 3x  < x^2 +15

Hence, the given inequality is represented as 3x  < x^2 +15
