What is the difference between an observational study and an experiment

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: In observational study observer has no control on the variables but in an experiment experimenter has control over the independent variable to record the change on the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics , an observational study is a study in which a researcher just observe effects on subjects in a certain manner without interfering them.

On the other hand an experiment is a process which is done by experimenter to demonstrate a known fact or create a discovery by applying some methods to the variables .

The basic difference between an observational study and an experiment is<em> in observational study observer has no control on the variables but in an experiment experimenter has control over the independent variable to record the change on the dependent variable.</em>

Find a function where f(0)=2 and f(1)=2

xenn [34]

Answer:

Do you want to be extremely boring?

Since the value is 2 at both 0 and 1, why not make it so the value is 2 everywhere else?

$f(x) = 2$ is a valid solution.

Want something more fun? Why not a parabola? $f(x)= ax^2+bx+c$ .

At this point you have three parameters to play with, and from the fact that $f(0)=2$ we can already fix one of them, in particular $c=2$ . At this point I would recommend picking an easy value for one of the two, let's say $a= 1$ (or even $a=-1$ , it will just flip everything upside down) and find out b accordingly: $f(1)=2 \rightarrow 1^2+b+2=2 \rightarrow b=-1$

Our function becomes

$f(x) = x^2-x+2$

Notice that it works even by switching sign in the first two terms: $f(x) = -x^2+x+2$

Want something even more creative? Try playing with a cosine tweaking it's amplitude and frequency so that it's period goes to 1 and it's amplitude gets to 2: $f(x) = A cos (kx)$

Since cosine is bound between -1 and 1, in order to reach the maximum at 2 we need $A= 2$ , and at that point the first condition is guaranteed; using the second to find k we get $2= 2 cos (k1) = cos k = 1 \rightarrow k = 2\pi$

$f(x) = 2cos(2\pi x)$

Or how about a sine wave that oscillates around 2? with a similar reasoning you get

$f(x)= 2+sin(2\pi x)$

Sky is the limit.

Alex787 [66]

Hmm,
ok,
complete square ok
wait wat

he went from
(x-3)²=16 to
x-3=16
?????
he square rooted the left side only
he has to do it to both sides

he should have done
(x-3)²=16
x-3=+/-4
x=3+/-4
x=7 or -1

On a map, 9 cm represents 15 miles. If the distance between two cities on the map is 15 cm, how many miles separate the cities?

torisob [31]

Answer:

15 cm on the map is equal to 25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

On a map, 9 cm represents 15 miles.

The distance between two cities is 15 cm. We need to find the distance in miles.

9 cm = 15 miles

$1\ cm=\dfrac{15}{9}\ \miles$

So, 15 cm is equal to,

$15\ cm=\dfrac{15}{9}\times 15\ miles\\\\=25\ miles$

So, 15 cm on the map is equal to 25 miles.
