Fitness experts advise people who want to lose weight to drink protein shakes after workout sessions, because it helps build mus

cle mass and speeds up the weight-loss process. To test the effectiveness of protein shakes in losing weight, 200 adults between the ages of 25 and 40 years were divided equally into two groups: a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was asked to drink a protein shake after every workout session for a period of 6 months. The subjects’ weights were noted before and after the treatment.
The results showed that the mean change in the amount of weight lost by the treatment group is 8 points more than that of the control group. To test whether the results could be explained by random chance, researchers created a table that summarizes the results of 1,000 re-randomizations of the data with differences of means rounded to the nearest 2 points.

Consider the significance level to be set at 5%, so results less than 5% can be considered statistically significant.

Answer:

Part A

The probability of the treatment groups mean being greater than the control group mean by 8points or more = (26+8+2)/1000 = 0.036

Part B

Yes, the result is statistically significant because the probability of the difference being 8point or more is less than 5% significant level

Part C

The answers is 0.036 means that there is a very little chance of obtaining difference of 8points or more by random chance. So, if the difference between treatment group mean and control group mean is at least 8 , then the result is significant which means protein shaken is actually helpful in speeding up the weight-10 process

Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|. 13 units down
olga55 [171]
The idea for transitions for an equation like this is
y = m|x - h| + k
where m = slope
h = how much left or right (note the negative)
k = how much up or down

moving 13 down would mean
k = -13

so
y = |x| - 13

MARKIN BRAINIEST!!! GIVIN 30PTS!!!
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

  • (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
  • (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
  • 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:

  1. -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
  2. -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
  3. 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
  4. -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
  5. -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
  6. 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent

Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.

  1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

  4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

  6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK

All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
