Answer:

This is an "Experiment" type of study

Step-by-step explanation:

Researchers use various methods or techniques to conduct research and draw conclusions from it. Some of these methods are given below

1. Experiment

2. Observational study

3. Anecdotal evidence

1. Experiment: In this type of study, researchers have control over their setup and they can give directions or apply any treatment on their subjects.

2. Observational study: In this type of study, researchers cannot give directions or apply any treatment on their subjects but rather they can only observe what is going on.

3. Anecdotal evidence: Also refers to experience and can be defined as personal experience based on something.

The study that we are given is clearly an example of "experiment" since half of the participants were to told walk 2 miles a day for 6 weeks. The researchers have control over their subjects in this case and they gave directions to their subjects to do this and that.

This could have been an observational study if researchers had selected 10 people who walked 2 miles a day for 6 weeks and 10 people who did not walk 2 miles a day for 6 weeks and simply measured their blood pressure and come to a conclusion. This way, it would have been a case of observational study.

Answer:

Experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental study design is a type of study design in which the investigator or researcher is in complete control of the research environment. For example, a researcher may want to assess the effects of certain treatments on some experimental units. The researcher or investigator decides the type of treatment, the type of experimental unit to use, the time, the allocation and assessment procedures of the treatment and effects respectively. In Experimental study design, the investigator or researcher is in complete control of the exposure and the result should therefore provide a stronger evidence of an association or lack of association between an exposure and a health problem than would an observational study where the investigator or researcher is usually a passive observer as he only observes and analyses facts and events as they occur  naturally or anecdotal evidence which is just someones personal experience or testimony without scientific proof that can be based on some measurement or experimentation.

He answer to this question is:A. The length is 8 inches, and the width is 5 inches.
The scale factor can be found in the question, "the art team made a scale drawing of the top of the box using a scale of 3 inches to 1 inch". This means the scale drawing should be divided by a scale factor of 3:1 (simplified into 3). 
The scale factor is then divided with the components provided (24 inches in length, 15 inches in width).
(24/3) = 8 inches(15/3) = 5 inches
Your answer is length = 8 inches, width = 5 inches.
