What is meant by confounding?

1 answer:

ankoles [38]3 years ago

Answer:

a)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a study, if we want to measure of establish a relation between two variables, we say that there is a confounding variable when there is a third variable that is having an effect on our original two variables but this third variable wasn't originally measured in our study. Therefore our results are misleading because the relation between our two variables is being influenced by the confounding one.

This is why the correct answer would be the a) An explanatory variable has a great effect on a response variable. And this causes a misleading interpretation between the two variables.

A paddleboat can move at a speed of 4 km/h in still water. The boat is paddled 12 km downstream in a river in the same time it

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Speed of the river = $\frac{4}{3}$ km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the boat in still water = 4 km per hour

Let the speed of the river = v km per hour

Speed of the boat upstream = (4 - v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 6 km = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

= $\frac{6}{4-v}$ hours

Speed of the boat downstream = (4 + v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 12 km = $\frac{12}{4+v}$ hours

Since, time taken by the boat in both the cases is same,

$\frac{6}{4-v}= \frac{12}{4+v}$

6(4 + v) = 12(4 - v)

24 + 6v = 48 - 12v

12v + 6v = 48 - 24

18v = 24

v = $\frac{24}{18}$

v = $\frac{4}{3}$ km per hour

How do I find the cost for the sales tax if the price is $7 and the sales tax is 8% or 0.08

galina1969 [7]

Multiply 7 by 0.08 and you get $0.56. $0.56 is the tax. For other tax questions just multiply the price and the sales tax as the decimal.
