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!

Find each quotient. Write in simplest form. keep answer as fraction - not decimal
kirill [66]

So we are given the expression:

\frac{mn^{2}}{4} ÷ \frac{m^{2}n}{8}

When we divide fractions, we must flip the second term and change the sign to multiplication:

\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}

And then we multiply across:

\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}= \frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}

Then we can break apart all of the like variables for simplification:

\frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}=\frac{8}{4} * \frac{m}{m^{2}} *\frac{n^{2}}{n}

When we simplify variables through division, we subtract the exponent of the numerator from the exponent of the denominator. So we then have:

\frac{8}{4} =2

\frac{m}{m^{2}}=m^{-1} =\frac{1}{m}

\frac{n^{2}}{n}=n^{1}=\frac{n}{1}

So then we multiply all of these simplified parts together:

\frac{2}{1}*\frac{1}{m}*\frac{n}{1}   =\frac{2n}{m}

So now we know that the simplified form of the initial expression is: \frac{2n}{m}.

How many different four-digit numbers can be made using the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 if no digit can be used more than once?
igomit [66]

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

The given digits are 1,2,3,4,5,6.

So, total number of digits = 6.

We need to find the number of different ways to form four-digit numbers using the digits, without repetition.

Total ways for first place = 6

After selecting 1 digit the number of remaining digits is 5. So,

Total ways for second place = 5

Similarly,

Total ways for third place = 4

Total ways for forth place = 3

Total number of ways = 6\times 5\times 4\times 3=360

Therefore, 360 four digit numbers are possible.
