A study was conducted in men aged 40-70 in order to determine whether exercising for 2 or more hours per week decreases the like

lihood of heart attack. The cases were 1,000 men who had recently had a heart attack; of these, 236 reported that they had regularly exercised for two or more hours per week prior to their heart attack. 1,000 controls were also selected for the study; of these, 379 reported that they exercised regularly. Calculate the magnitude of association between regular exercise and heart attack. What does your calculation suggest? (Select one answer.) A. People who exercise regularly have about 0.5 times the risk of having a heart attack compared to people who don't exercise. B. People who exercise regularly have about 2.0 times the risk of having a heart attack compared to people who don't exercise. C. People who exercise regularly have about a 50% chance of having a heart attack.

Answer: alternative A.

Explanation: In this case, we will consider people that already have had a heart attack. In this specific group of 1,000 people, 236 exercised regularly and had gone through this situation.

We can infer that 23.6% of people who exercised regularly have experienced that by dividing 236/1,000= 0.236= 23.6%.

If 236 people exercised, 1,000-236=764 didn't exercise regularly prior to their heart attacks, so 74.6% were considered to be sedentary.

If there's 0.236 chance out of 1 to exercise and still have a heart attack compared to 0.764 out of 1 to be sedentary and have the same experience, we can divide both ratios to compare them, so 0.236/0.764= 0.3089.

Alternative A claims that people who exercise have around 0.5 chance of having heart attacks compared to people who don't. Since our ratio resulted in 0.3089, we consider this number the closest to 0.5. Alternative <u>B is absurd because in order for people who exercise to have 2x the risk compared to people who don't, the number of people who exercised and went through that must be 2x bigger than people who didn't</u>. Alternative <u>C doesn't apply as well, because we already verified that the chance people who exercise have a heart attack equal to 23,6%. </u>

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. In the human eye, the greatest amount of refraction occurs when the light passes from the air into the cornea.

Explanation:

The ocular refraction refers to the refraction that occurs in the light coming from the objects when crossing the different parts of the eye, causing the images to concentrate on the retina.

When the light rays, after crossing the cornea and the lens, are projected on the retina at a single point creating a clear image that is transmitted to the brain for processing, we talk about normal refraction.

Answer:

A. near-Earth objects.

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

When scientists discuss objects that might hit Earth, the term which they use to describe them as a group is near-Earth objects.

A near-Earth objects can be defined as a small solar system body such as comets and asteroids whose orbit draws it close or in proximity to the earth's orbit due to the gravitational force of attraction of nearby planetary bodies.

Basically, if the closest approach of a planetary body to the Sun is less than 1.3 AU it is considered to be a near-Earth objects.

Hence, near-Earth objects may pose a collision danger to planet earth.
