Mathematics

Ksju [112]3 years ago

Answer:

A placebo is a fake put into place in order to make a user believe something is happening when it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A placebo is a fake put into place in order to make a user believe something is happening when it is not. This is used often in medicine, where a doctor may tell a patient they are receiving treatment for some condition, but in fact they are getting nothing. Often times this can actually make a change for the patient due to simply believing they are getting treatment. The placebo effect is also used in Statistics, with 2 groups, one getting the treatment, and one simply receiving a placebo. This is helpful because it shows the effect of treatment or medication more accurately.

In a In a school of 567 pupils 278 are boys.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

49% of the pupils are boys and 51% are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so first, you've got to find the total number of students: 567.

Now, to find the value of 1%, you divide 567 by 100, which will give you 5.67.

Next, you divide the number of male students by the value of 1%. That's 278 ÷ 5.67 = 49.0299823633157.

Subtracting that from 100% gives you 50.9700176366843 (percentage of girls)

Now, you can't write all that down, so you'll round it! 49.0299823633157 will round down, because 0 is less than 5, so it's 49%. 50.9700176366843 rounds up, because 9 is greater than 5, so that's 51%.

Therefore, 49% of the pupils are boys and 51% are girls.

I hope this helps!

Find two consecutive odd integers such that their product is 71 more than 3 times their sum.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Let's put this in terms of a system of equations. Let's call the numbers x and y, with x being the larger integer and y the smaller one. Since they are consecutive odd integers, we know that:
x = y + 2
The constraint is:
xy= 3(x+y) + 71         Simplify
xy = 3x + 3y + 71       Plug in (y+2) for x:
(y + 2) y = 3(y + 2) + 3y + 71         Simplify
y² + 2y = 3y + 6 + 3y + 71              Subtract 6y from  both sides, add 71+6
y² -4y = 77
y² - 4y - 77 = 0
Factor:
(y - 11) (y+7) = 0
y = 11 or y=-7

When y = 11, x = 13, since x = y+2
Plug in to make sure:
xy = 3(x+y) + 71
11*13 = 3 (11 + 13) + 71
143 = 3 (24) + 71
143 = 72 + 71
143 = 143               
Our values work!
