To investigate if there is an association between eating red meat and the health of individuals, researchers used data from a na

tional survey of 120,000 randomly selected American adults. In the data, there was a strong association between the amount of red meat consumed and the frequency and severity of illnesses contracted.
(a) Is this an experiment or an observational study? Explain.

(b) Is it legitimate to deduce that the observed association in the data generalizes to all American adults? If yes, explain why. If not, explain why not.

(c) Is it legitimate to deduce from this study that eating red meat caused the subjects in the study to be more prone to illness? If it is, explain carefully. If not, identify a possible confounding variable explaining carefully why your variable is confounding.

Answer:

a) Observational study

b) No

c) No

-Eating habits

-Age

-Health hystory

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

An observational study is one where the investigator has no control or intervenes on it. He just defines the variable of interest and merely collects and documents the information. These types of studies are usually made as precursors to a more formal experimental study, to have an idea of what's to be expected from the population.

In this example, the researcher merely took the information of interest from the survey that was taken. The researcher did not intervene in any way in the experiment. Because of the lack of intervention from the researcher, it is not valid to use the conclusions of this experiment to generalize to all American adults. For instance, it is not sure that the sample is representative, all people responding to the survey may be healthy or have certain eating habits. This also shows that many confusing factors are not taken into account like:

-eating habits (from eating healthy to extreme cases like being vegetarian/vegan or eating only fast food)

-age, the age range is not defined, if the sample is taken from surveys answered by people in their early 20s it will be different in both eating habits and health information as if the interviewees are in their 30s or 40s

-before health issues, there can be other health conditions that may be affecting the interviewees.

I hope it helps!

Help me with this plzzzzz I need to finish it rn so PLZZ help asp
garri49 [273]

Answer:

1. 16π

2. 112π

3. 351.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr^2

Substitute...

=4^2π

=16π

To find the how much fluid it can hold, just basically find its volume. To do that, you mutiply the area of the base by the height. So...

16π*7=122π

You then just subsitute π by 3.14 so...

122(3.14)=351.68

how many different license plates can be formed if each plate plate has 5 different digits followed by 1 letter
Elina [12.6K]

This is a fundamental counting principle problem and can be solved by multiplying the number of choices you have for each digit of the license plate.

For the first five digits you can choose from the numbers 0,1,2...,9 or 10 choices.

A we cannot repeat the digits, so, first five digits will be:

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6

Now the next 1 digit will all be letter all being different

There are 26 letters in the alphabet.. for our second digit we have 26 choices,

Here is the whole calculation:

= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 26

= 786240
