"Fruit Juice May Be Fueling Pudgy Preschoolers, Study Says" is the title of an article that appeared in the San Luis Obispo Trib

une. This article describes a study that found that for 3- and 4-year-olds, drinking something sweet once or twice a day doubled the risk of being seriously overweight one year later. The authors of the study state Total energy may be a confounder if consumption of sweet drinks is a marker for other dietary factors associated with overweight (Pediatrics, No vem ber 2005). Give an example of a dietary factor that might be one of the potentially confounding variables the study authors are worried about.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A confounding variable is any variable that may affect the response variable other than the explanatory variable defined by de investigator.

For this example, the objective is to test if drinking something sweet once or twice a day doubles the risk of being seriously overweight one year later.

The explanatory variable is X: Number of sweet drinks a 3- 4- year old kid has a day (one or two)

The response variable Y: Risk of having overweight of a 3- 4- year old kid

Any other variable that modifies the risk of having overweight.

For example:

X: Weekly amount of exercise.

X: Diet of the kid (Fast Food, Sweets, balanced diet)

X: History of obesity in the family of the child.

X: Health status of the child.

I hope it helps!

A rectangular piece of land has an area of 3/4 square mile. The land is 21/2 mile. What is its width
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is  \frac{1}{14} miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for rectangle

The area of rectangle = A = \frac{3}{4} mile²

The Length of rectangle = L = \frac{21}{2} mile

Let The width of rectangle = W miles

Now, From area of rectangle

I.e Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Or , A = \frac{21}{2} mile  × W mile

Or, \frac{3}{4} mile² = \frac{21}{2} mile  × W mile

or, W = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{21}{2}} mile

or, W = \frac{3\times 2}{4\times 21}

∴  W = \frac{1}{14} miles

Hence The width of the rectangle is  \frac{1}{14} miles  Answer

Well guys I hope you guys know the answer for this question. Help please ASAP. Thank you

Answer: D) The linear model shows a strong fit to the data

The actual strength of the relationship is unknown unless we have the actual values of each data point (so we can compute the correlation coefficient r), but the residuals are randomly scattered about both above and below the horizontal axis. This means we have a fairly good linear fit. If all of the points were above the line, or all below the line, or all residuals fit a certain pattern (eg: parabola), then it wouldn't be a good linear fit.
