Answer:

factitious disorder imposed on another

Explanation:

  • Factitious disorder imposed on another is a psychological disorder in which a person who is taking care of another person acts and creates a situation that leads people to believe that the person in care is sick when in reality they are not.
  • A person who is taking care of another person can either deliberately cause the person in care to become sick or can either lie about it.
  • People use this to gain sympathy for all the hard work they are putting in to take care of the person and often exaggerate the illness.
  • In the given situation, Jack who is taking care of his father is also resorting to deceptive means to make his father sick and is enjoying the attention he gets due to his sickness and thus, he is suffering from factitious disorder imposed on another.

What is the 95% CI for data set 2?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 20 ± 11.32

Explanation: <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> (CI) is an interval of values where there is a % certainty the true mean value lies in. For example, a 95% CI means there is a 95% certainty the true mean value lies in the interval.

For the data set 2, z-value for 95% confidence interval is z = 1.96

Formula to calculate CI is

x ± z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

where

x is mean

z is z-value

s is standard deviation

n is the sample number

Then:

20 ± 1.96\frac{10}{\sqrt{3} }

20 ± 1.96\frac{10}{1.7320}

20 ± \frac{19.6}{1.7320}

20 ± 11.32

The 95% CI is 20 ± 11.32, which means there is a 95% certainty the true value is between 8.68 and 31.32.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: A (ATP only)

Explanation:

Both NADH and pyruvate are energy store. NADH and pyruvate can not directly be used to drive biological reaction.The metabolism of pyruvate releases energy in the form of ATP. NADH produces ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used directly as energy to drive endergonic and exergonic biological reaction.

Answer is ATP only
