Dr. Goodrich wanted to demonstrate that his tires were better than those of his competitor, Dr. Goodyear. From car registration

and leasing records, he found 40 salespeople who drove the same model of automobile approximately the same number of miles per week. Anonymously, Dr. Goodrich hired an independent research assistant, who was unaware of the purpose of the study, to randomly assign to 20 of the sales people a new set of unmarked Goodrich tires, and to the other 20 a new set of unmarked Goodyear tires of the same price and quality. After six months and an average of 15,000 miles traveled by both groups, the assistant arranged for the salespeople to exchange tires. After another six months, and similar mileage, the assistant measured the amount of tread wear and reported that the Goodrich tires had actually worn more than the Goodyear tires.

Answer:

Dependent Variable : Tire tread wear ; Independent Variable : Tire Brand ; Confounding Variable : Person driving

Step-by-step explanation:

Dependent Variable is the variable being affected by independent variable(s). Independent Variable(s) are the causal variable, bring change in dependent variable.

Goodrich wants to demonstrate that his tires were better than those of his competitor (Goodyear). For that, he has got conducted an independent research on tires worn quality - brand wise & various factors affecting wear

  • Dependent Variable is the 'Tire tread wear '.
  • Independent Variables determining it is primarily brand : Goodrich / Goodyear ; secondarily - price, mileage, time etc

Confounding variable is an extraneous influence variable; that changes the relationship between independent & dependent variable, outcome of experimental research.

In this case : Individuals driving the vehicles could be a confounding variable. A  particular person could wear out tire more than another person.

Y = 4x – 10
aev [14]

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x – 10

y = 2

Substitute the second equation into the first

2 = 4x-10

Add 10 to each side

2+10 = 4x-10+10

12 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

12/4 =4x/4

3 = x

The solution is

3. I am collecting baseball cards. My goal before I turn 18 is to have 500 cards. When I tumed 10,
vladimir2022 [97]

Based on the scenario given, the equation to describe the situation will be: c + 125 + 89 = 500 and 286 cards need to be collected.

Number of cards given by grandfather = 125 cards

Number of cards that will be given by father = 89 cards

Therefore, based on the information given, the equation to describe the situation will be:

c + 125 + 89 = 500

Therefore, we can then use the equation to calculate the number of cards that need to be collected. This will be:

c + 125 + 89 = 500

c + 214 = 500

c = 500 - 214

c = 286

Therefore, the person needs to collect 286 cards.
