Clinical Trial When XELJANZ (tofacitinib) was administered as part of a clinical trial for this rheumatoid arthritis treatment,

1336 subjects were given 5 mg doses of the drug, and here are the numbers of adverse reactions: 57 had headaches, 21 had hypertension, 60 had upper respiratory tract infections, 51 had nasopharyngitis, and 53 had diarrhea. Does any one of these adverse reactions appear to be much more common than the others? (Hint: Find the relative frequencies using only the adverse reactions, not the total number of treated subjects.)

Answer:

Relative frequencies:

Headaches = 23.55 %

Hypertension = 8.68%

Upper respiratory tract infections =24.79%

Nasopharyngitis = 21.07

Diarrhea = 21.09%

None of these adverse reactions appear to be much more common than the others.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compute frequency:

The number of adverse reactions categories:

Headaches

Hypertension

Upper respiratory tract infections

Nasopharyngitis

Diarrhea

Frequency of each adverse reaction:

Adverse reaction                                Frequency        

Headaches                                                 57                    

Hypertension                                              21

Upper respiratory tract infections             60

Nasopharyngitis                                          51

Diarrhea                                                       53

Compute total frequency

Total frequency is compute dby taking sum of all frequencies;

Sum of frequencies = 57 + 21 + 60 + 51 + 53

                                 = 242

Compute relative frequency:

In order to find if any one of these adverse reactions appear to be much more common than the others, we have to compute relative frequency using these adverse reactions.

By calculating relative frequency we are looking at the number of times a specific adverse reaction appears to be more common, compared to the others.

To calculate relative frequency, divide the frequency of each adverse reaction by the total frequency i.e. 242.

Relative frequency for Headache = 57 / 242

                                                        = 0.2355

                                                        = 23.55 %

Relative frequency for Hypertension = 21 / 242

                                                             = 0.0868

                                                             = 8.68 %

Relative frequency for Upper respiratory tract infections = 60 / 242

                                                                                              = 0.2497

                                                                                              = 24.97 %

Relative frequency for Nasopharyngitis = 51 / 242

                                                                  = 0.2107

                                                                   = 21.07 %

Relative frequency for Diarrhea    = 53 / 242

                                                        = 0.2190

                                                         = 21.90 %

If you observe the relative frequencies of all the adverse reactions, none of them appear to be much more common than the others. Relative frequencies of headaches, upper respiratory tract infections, nasopharyngitis and diarrhea are almost equally common however, relative of hypertension appears to be very less than the other three.

A customer will be charged extra if the weight of their suitcase is above 48 pounds.
amm1812

Answer:

w>48 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The customer will be charged extra if the weight of their suitcase is above 48 pounds.

Let the weight of the suitcase = w (in pounds)

Therefore, w above (greater than) 48 pounds is written mathematically as:

w>48 pounds

This is the inequality that represents w, the weight of the suitcase in pounds, that will have an extra charge.

Complete the following.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the triangle is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

With 67° as the reference angle,

x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

17 represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.

Therefore,

Tan 67 = 17/x

xTan 67 = 17

x = 17/Tan 67

x = 17/2.3559

x = 7.22

2) From the given right angle triangle, with 24° as the reference angle,

x represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

12 represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.

Therefore,

Tan 24 = x/12

x = 12Tan 24

x = 12 × 0.4452

x = 5.34

How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3x 13 = 3(x 6) 1 zero one two infinitely many
romanna [79]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. There is no solution set of the equation 3x+13 = 3(x+6)+1.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

The equation can be solved in the following manner,

3x+13 = 3(x+6)+1\\3x+13=3x+18+1\\3x+13=3x+19

Since both the sides of the equation are the same in terms of variable and the constant terms are not the same. Therefore, there is no solution set of the equation 3x+13 = 3(x+6)+1.

Mai gave half of her brownies, and then half a brownie more, to Kiran. Then she gave half of what was left,
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

all we know is that she had 1 brownie at the end, in the end she gave half her brownie to tyler, so add one who will get 1 1/2, before that she split her brownies between her friends, so multiply 1 1/2 by 2 and you will get 3, before that she gave 1/2 a brownie to Kiran, so we would add 1/2 to 3 and get 3 1/2, before that she first split it in half for a her friends, so at last,  multiply 3 1/2 by 2 and you will geet 7 as your final answer.
