In a study published on January 31, 2011 in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers randomly assigned 1

20 elderly men and women who volunteered to be a part of this study (average age mid-60s) to one of two exercise groups.
One group walked around a track three times a week; the other did a variety of less aerobic exercises, including yoga and resistance training with bands.

After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus (part of the brain responsible for forming memories) had increased in volume by about 2% on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4%.

Which of the following is false?

a. A causal link between walking and expansion of the hippocampus can be inferred based on these results.

b. The explanatory variable is the type of exercise.

c. The response variable is the change in volume of the hippocampus.

d. The results of this study can be generalized to all elderly.

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The objective of this test is to know if aerobic exercise modifies hippocampus activity. A random sample of 120 elderly men and women was taken and divided into two groups.

Group 1: Walked around a track three times a week.

Group 2: Did a variety of less aerobic exercises, including yoga and resistance training with bands.

After a year their brains were scanned showing that group 1 had an increase of 2% in their hippocampus and group 2 showed a decrease of 1.4%

a. True, this type of observational study can be the prelude to a more formal statistical study.

b. True, the explanatory variable is "type of exercise", it's the variable that the investigator suspects influence the hippocampus volume.

c. True, the objective of this experiment is to test if there is any modification on hippocampus volume, that's why the volume of the hippocampus was measured, before and after a year of exercise.

d. False, this is an observational study, you cannot establish a causal relationship between the two variables. Just inform you that there seems to be an association. To be able to generalize the results to all elderly population you need a more formal statistical experiment to support your conclusions.

I hope it helps!

James and Lin got married and got new jobs. Lin earns $3100 more per year than James. Together they earn $81,980. How much does
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The earning to James per year is $ 39,440

The earning of Lin per year is $ 42,540  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total earning of James and Lin together = $ 81,980 per year

The earning of Lin is $ 3100 more per year than James

Let The earning of James = $ J

And The earning of Lin = $ J + $ 3100

So, According to question

The total earning of James and Lin together = $ 81,980 per year

Or, The earning of Lin +  The earning of James  = $ 81,980 per year

Or,  $ J + $ 3100 + $ J  = $ 81,980 per year

or, 2 $ J = $ 81,980 - $ 3100

Or,  2 $ J = $ 78880

∴ J = \frac{78880}{2}

I.e The earning to James per year = $ 39,440

And  The earning of Lin per year = $ 34,440 + $ 3100 = $ 42,540

Hence, The earning to James per year is $ 39,440

And The earning of Lin per year is $ 42,540  . answer

Pythagorean Theorem POSSIBLE POINTS : 13:33 Two joggers run 12 miles north and then 8 miles west. What is the shortest distance
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

14.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance moved North = 12 miles

Distance moved West = 8 miles

Shortest distance to reach starting point :

Let shortest distance to reach starting point = d miles

Using the relation :

Longest side of a right angled triangle:

d = sqrt(8^2 + 12^2)

d = sqrt(64 + 144)

d = sqrt(208)

d = 14.422205

d = 14.4 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)
