A study funded by the National Center for Complemnetary and Alternative Medicine found that echinacea was not an effective treat

ment for colds in children. The experiment involved echinacea treatments and placebos, and blinding was used. What is blinding, and why was it important in this experiment?

Answer: Concealment of a particular group from one or more individuals

Step-by-step explanation:

Blinding is a term used to conceal a particular group from one or more individuals who are involved a clinical study. Blinding is used in this study to evaluate the placebos. This was important in this study because the treatment being done by  echinacea was no being effective. So in order to gain good results and to see the actual results, blinding was done.

Harrizon [31]
Perhaps you mean "slope-intercept" form. Solve for y and reduce the fractions.
.. -8x -6 = 2y . . . . . . . . add 2y-6
.. y = -4x -3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Your line in slope-intercept form is
.. y = -4x -3

100 POINTS
ivann1987 [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. k = 76°

2. r = 25cm

3. as the drawing attached

one pair of parallel lines : AB and DC

one pair of equal angles : <em>L</em><em> </em>A and <em>L</em><em> </em>D

4. (7²× 3`¹)⁴×7^5 / (3² × 7^(-6))³

= (7^8 × 3`⁴)×7^5/ (3² × 7^(-6))³

= (7^13 × 3`⁴)/ (3^6 × 7^(-18))

= (7^(31) × 3^(-10))

= 7^31 / 3^10

Solve the system of equations: <br> X+y+z=5<br> -3x-4y+4z=15<br> 2x-y-4z=-8
atroni [7]

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment shows a solution using a graphing calculator where the first equation is solved for z, and that expression is substituted into each of the other two equations. The solution to that system is (x, y) = (3, -2). Using these values in the expression for z, we find ...

  z = 5 -(3 +(-2)) = 4

The solution is (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4).

__

Your graphing calculator and/or online tools can give you the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix representing the system:

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&5\\-3&-4&4&15\\2&-1&-4&-8\end{array}\right]

__

If you're solving by hand, you can do the substitution described above to eliminate z from one equation. You can eliminate z from another equation by adding the last two:

  -3x -4y +4(5 -x -y) = 15   ⇒   -7x -8y = -5

  (-3x -4y +4z) +(2x -y -4z) = (15) +(-8)   ⇒   -x -5y = 7

This pair of equations can be solved for x and y in any of the usual ways. Using the second equation to substitute for x, for example, gives you ...

  -7(-5y -7) -8y = -5   ⇒   27y = -54   ⇒   y = -2

  x = -5(-2) -7 = 3

  z = 5 -(3) -(-2) = 4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If all that is needed is a solution, we prefer a graphical or matrix approach. These take about the same amount of time. Both require a little additional effort to determine exact values when the solutions are not integers.
