Does taking ginkgo tablets (i.e., and extract from a tree species) twice a day provide significant improvement in mental perform

ance? To investigate this issue, a researcher conducted a study with 150 adult subjects who took ginkgo tablets twice a day for a period of 6 months. At the end of the study, 200 variables related to the mental performance of the subjects were measured on each subject and the means compared to known means for these variables in the population of all adults. Nine of these variables were significantly better (in the sense of statistical significance) at the 5% level for the group taking the ginkgo tablets as compared to the population as a whole, and one variable was significantly better at the 1% level for the group taking the ginkgo tablets as compared to the population as a whole. Which of the following statements is the correct conclusion?
A. There is good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance.
B. These results would have provided good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance if the number of subjects had been larger. It is premature to draw statistical conclusions from studies in which the number of subjects is less than the number of variables measured.
C. There is good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides improvement for the variable that was significant at the 1% level. We should be somewhat cautious about making claims for the variables that were significant at the 5% level.
D. These results do not provide good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance. If 200 tests are being performed at the 5% significance level, some are bound to show statistically significant results, even if the treatment does not have any effect. It is premature to draw statistical conclusions from this study in which the percentage of significant tests is about 5%.

Answer:

D. These results do not provide good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance. If 200 tests are being performed at the 5% significance level, some are bound to show statistically significant results, even if the treatment does not have any effect. It is premature to draw statistical conclusions from this study in which the percentage of significant tests is about 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not right to just made a conclusive argument on a large population by considering the outcome of the analysis made on a sample of the population. In addition, based on the number of tests conducted with about 5% significance level, it is clear that this can not be used to draw the necessary conclusion.

an automobile 16 feet long overtakes a truck that is 28 feet long and is traveling 30 mph. At what rate must the automobile trav
Oduvanchick [21]
<h2>Automobile must travel at 96 mph to pass the truck in 4 seconds.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of  automobile = 16 feet = 4.88 m

Length of truck = 28 feet = 8.53 m

Speed of truck = 30 mph = 48 km/h = 13.33 m/s

Time in which automobile to pass truck = 4 s

Distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds = 4 x 13.33 = 53.33 m

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds to pass truck is the sum of length of  automobile, length of truck and distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds.

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 4.88 + 8.53 + 53.33

Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 66.74 m

Distance = Speed x Time

66.74 = Speed x 4

Speed = 16.69 m/s = 60 km/h = 96 mph

Automobile must travel at 96 mph to pass the truck in 4 seconds.

HELP!! What is the approximate measure of angle x in the triangle shown?
Alex Ar [27]
<h3>Answer:   D)  130.5 degrees</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b*\cos(C)\\\\10^2 = 5^2 + 6^2 - 2*5*6*\cos(x)\\\\100 = 25 + 36 - 60*\cos(x)\\\\100 = 61 - 60*\cos(x)\\\\100 - 61 = - 60*\cos(x)\\\\39 = - 60*\cos(x)\\\\\cos(x) = \frac{39}{-60}\\\\\cos(x) = -0.65\\\\x = \arccos(-0.65)\\\\x \approx 130.5416\\\\x \approx 130.5\\\\

Note: I used the law of cosines. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Option A. 30\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the brownie pan

The area of the trapezoid is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(30+42)(25)=900\ cm^{2}

step 2

To calculate the number of days, divide the total area of the brownie pan by 30 square centimeters of brownie

so

900/30=30\ days
