Answer:
Randomization removes lurking variables and biases.
Step-by-step explanation:
In case of an experimental design the groups are divided randomly.
Randomization is important so that there are no bias present in the study and to control any lurking variables. The controlling of the lurking variables provides an accurate result.
Lurking variables have a significant effect on the response variable. Presence of lurking variables can indicate a strong relation between variables or conceal any true relation between the variables.
Randomization thus gets rid of lurking variables and biases.
Also if randomization is used then each of the groups are similar in every way other than the fact that each group is provided with different treatment.
Answer:
(B) -25/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-5/3 ÷ 4/15
Copy dot flip
-5/3 * 15/4
Rewriting for easier math
-5/4 * 15/3
-5/4 * 5
-25/4
The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2
Hope this helps :)
Answer: 44 miles
WORKINGS
Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown
Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.
The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL
Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles
Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles
The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles
Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
7 + 2x = 51
