A group of 250 women over the age of 40 are recruited for a study to determine the effects that calcium has on bone health. Half

of the participants are given a calcium supplement and the other half are given a placebo. If 13 women on calcium develop osteomalacia and 27 women not on the placebo develop osteomalacia, the relative risk for developing osteomalacia for women over 40 on a calcium supplement is 0.48 when compared to those women not taking a calcium supplement. This indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the population of interest's health because the relative risk is less than 1.0.

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The result indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the development of osteomalacia in the women. This is because, of the over 120 women placed on the calcium supplements, it happens to be minimal number of people ( less than 20 people) that develop the osteomalacia disease of the bone.

Why are gamma rays not affected by a magnet as they pass over it?
gayaneshka [121]
Only alpha and beta ray will be affected because they are charged with positive and negative ions respectively. In Electric field, they will be moved(i cant figure out a suitable word). THey move in a hyperbolic path and follows the positive and negative terminal. Both the alpha and beta will flow to opposite to each other where alpha will move to the negative terminal and beta will move to the positive terminal.  In magnetic field, its more complicated then electric field. U eva heard of the Left Hand Flemming Rule?, Its hard to explain without a diagram. Maybe u shud search out urself. They will follow a circular path.  In both fields, alpha will move less while beta will shift more because alpha is heavier then beta.

As i say just now, gamma is not affected by both fields because it isnt charged
