Answer:

This is an observational study based on a stratified sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

This study aimed to check which clean-up/drying up method after handwashing was more effective; that is, do dryers eliminate more germs than paper towels.

It involved 100 people that took part in the study. The 100 of them contaminated their hands and were instructed to wash their hands with soap and water for 15 seconds before the participants are randomly grouped into two strata; one stratum/group (consisting of 50 participants) that dries their hands with a dryer and another (also consisting of 50 participants) that dry their hands with paper towels.

An observational study is one in which data is collected only by monitoring the events of the study. The conductor of the study in no way tries to intervene or control any of the variables being studied. No control, no tweaking of factors, just observe and record data.

An observational study based on a stratified sample is an observational study that uses the stratified sampling method to carry out its objectives. It randomly puts each of the participants being observed into groups or strata. Each group of randomly assigned participants are then required to run the test for one of the variables being compared.

This is exactly what the study in the question describes. This is why this study is undoubtedly an observational study based on a stratified sample.

You know that for any , neither sin nor cos can be greater than 1. how can you explain this using the unit circle definitions of
Feliz [49]
In the unit circle the hypotenuse of the triangle formed  is equal to radius of circle , which = 1. The point on the circle formed by the intersection of the hypotenuse  is  (cos q , sin q)  where q is the angle between the x axis and the hypotenuse.   As the hypotenuse = 1 the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle < 1   so sin and cos of q  must both be  <= 1.

A circular track is 1/4 mile long. You run 13 1/3 laps around the track. How many miles did you run?
rusak2 [61]

So all you have to do is times \frac{1}{4} x 13 and 1/3 which is the same as 1/4 x 40/3 which is equal to 40/12 = 3 1/3mile
