<span>a) Explain how you would carry out a completely randomized experiment for the study
- The volunteers will be listed alphabetically and assigned a number from 1 to n. Using the random selection method, select the persons at half of the population and assign them as the treatment group getting the new medication. The remaining population will be under the current medication. Measure everyone's cholesterol level and apply the needed medication for several months. Apply the process and compare the results.

</span><span>b) Describe an experimental design that would improve the design in (a) by incorporating blocking</span><span>
- The best design would be to block by cholesterol levels (ie, High, Moderately High, Very High)

</span> c) Can the experimental design in (b) be carried out in a double blind manner? 
Yes, everyone in each block randomly assigned to a treatment so volunteers are not aware of the medication they are receiving while administrators do not know what medication they are giving.

Over the last three evenings, Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 2 time
tatyana61 [14]

Rita received 24 phone calls on the first evening, and 19 phone calls on the second evening and 48 phone calls on the third evening at the call center.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given details,

Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center over the last three evenings.

Let us assume the number of phone calls Rita received in the first evening is X.

The second evening Rita received 5 fewer calls than the first evening

=>X-5

The third evening Rita received 2 times as any calls as the first evening

=>2X

Now as given sum of total number of calls received in the three evenings is

X + X-5 + 2X = 91

4X - 5 = 91

4X = 96

X =24.

Therefore total calls received on first evening is X = 24

On the second evening X-5 = 24-5 = 19

On the third evening 2X = 48.

Explain how you know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3
PtichkaEL [24]
Or this question you should know that:
1/3 = (1*4)/(3*4) = 4/12 
and 
2/3 = (2*4)/(3*4) = 8/12 
so you can see that 7/12 is greater than 4/12 which is 1/3 and less than 8/12 which is 2/3 :))))
i hope this is helpful

My car gets 23 miles per gallon at 60 miles per hour. Is the number of miles I can drive at 60 miles per hour a linear function
stiv31 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant ratio (23 mi)/(1 gal) tells you the number of miles is a linear function of the number of gallons.

  miles = (miles/gallon) × gallons

  miles = constant × gallons . . . . . a linear function of gallons
