What is meant by​ confounding?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
7 0

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.

ioda

Given,

f(x) = 3 - x

and

g(x) = -2x

Now,

g(2) =  - 2(2) =  - 4

f(g(2)) = 3 - ( - 4) = 3 + 4 = 7

Cos (A+B) =1/5<br>COS (A-B) = 3/5<br>Then find tan (A-B)​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

tan (A-B)​ = ± 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

COS (A-B) = 3/5

COS² (A-B) = (3/5)² = 9/25 = 1 - sin² (A-B)

sin² (A-B) = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25

sin (A-B) = ± 4/5

tan (A-B) = sin (A-B) / cos (A-B) = (± 4/5) / (3/5) = ± 4/3

Directions: for questions 1 through 4, find the diagonal length of each solid figure.
Alex787 [66]
\text{The length of the diagonal is }11.2\text{ mm}

Here, we want to find the diagonal of the given solid

To do this, we need the appropriate triangle

Firstly, we need the diagonal of the base

To get this, we use Pythagoras' theorem for the base

The other measures are 6 mm and 8 mm

According ro Pythagoras' ; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let us have the diagonal as l

Mathematically;

\begin{gathered} l^2=6^2+8^2 \\ l^2\text{ = 36 + 64} \\ l^2\text{ =100} \\ l\text{ = }\sqrt[]{100} \\ l\text{ = 10 mm} \end{gathered}

Now, to get the diagonal, we use the triangle with height 5 mm and the base being the hypotenuse we calculated above

Thus, we calculate this using the Pytthagoras' theorem as follows;

\begin{gathered} d^2=5^2+10^2 \\ d^2\text{ = 25 + 100} \\ d^2\text{ = 125} \\ d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{125} \\ d\text{ = }11.2\text{ mm} \end{gathered}

If f(x)=x/3 -2 and g(x)=3x^2+2x-6 find (f+g)(x)
umka21 [38]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = 3x² + (7/3)x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (f + g)(x), you need to add both the f(x) and g(x) equations together.

f(x) = x/3 - 2 ..... which is equal to ... f(x) = (1/3)x - 2

g(x) = 3x² + 2x - 6

(f + g)(x) = ((1/3)x - 2) + (3x² + 2x - 6)          <----- Add both equations

(f + g)(x) = 3x² + (1/3)x + 2x - 2 - 6              <----- Rearrange (2 = 6/3)

(f + g)(x) = 3x² + (7/3)x - 8                           <----- Simplify similar terms
