A study was interested in determining if walking 2 miles a day lowered someone's blood pressure.Twenty people's blood pressure w

as measured. Then, ten of these individuals were randomly selected from the initial 20 people. These ten were told to walk 2 miles a day for 6 weeks and to eat as they normally did. The other ten were told to eat as they normally would. After six weeks, their blood pressure levels were measured again. What type of study is this?

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.

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{5}x+\frac{54}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line has been given as,

y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}

Here, slope of the line = \frac{4}{5}

y-intercept = \frac{3}{5}

"If the two lines are parallel, there slopes will be equal"

By this property slope of the parallel line to the given line will be equal.

Therefore, slope 'm' = \frac{4}{5}

Since, slope intercept form of a line is,

y = mx + b

Therefore, equation of the parallel line will be,

y = \frac{4}{5}x+b

Since, this line passes through a point (-6, 6),

6 = \frac{4}{5}(-6)+b

6 = -\frac{24}{5}+b

b = 6+\frac{24}{5}

b = \frac{30+24}{5}

b = \frac{54}{5}

Equation of the parallel line will be,

y = \frac{4}{5}x+\frac{54}{5}

Katen [24]
ANSWER: 2327.04

EXPLANATION:

I’m assuming this is Reverse Pythagorean Theorem, so the equation would be c^2 - a^2 = b^2, so all you have to do it substitute the variables and solve. The length of the cable is variable c, the height of the tower is variable a, and the length of where is the cable is anchored and the base of the tower is variable b. That might not make any sense but feel free to ask any questions. :)

An excursion group of four is to be drawn from among 5 boys and 6 girls.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Because you are recounting people several times. Say for example, let us number those people

{1,2,3,4} for the four girls and {1,2…7} for the boys.

One possible combination by your way is to fix one boy and girl each, say

{1,1} and then choose the remaining people. Let this combination be, for the sake of the example, {1,1,2,2,3}. This is a valid combination.

Now, when you fix another combination of a boy and a girl, say {1,2}, you could get the same combination as before because one the combinations while choosing the three remaining people would be {1,2,3}.

A correct way would be to choose  girls and then choose 5− boys for 1≤≤4

So we get ∑4=1(4)(75−)=441

100 POINT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
babunello [35]

Answer:

Ok I don't know waht you mean but the answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=3/2±(√11)2

x=1.5+1.65831i

x=1.5−1.65831i

Find the Solution for

2x^22−6x+10=0

using the Quadratic Formula where

a = 2, b = -6, and c = 10

x=(−b±√(b^2−4ac))/2a

x=(−(−6)±√((−6)2−4(2)(10)))2(2)

x=(6±√(36−80))/4

x=(6±√−44)/4

The discriminant b^2−4ac<0

so, there are two complex roots.

Simplify the Radical:

x=(6±2√11 i)/4

x=6/4±(2√11 i)4

Simplify fractions and/or signs:

x=3/2±(√11)2

which becomes

x=1.5+1.65831i

x=1.5−1.65831i
