A recent research study randomly divided participants into groups who were given different levels of Vitamin E to take daily. On

e group received only a placebo pill. The research study followed the participants for eight years to see how many developed a particular type of cancer during that time period. Which of the following responses gives the best explanation as to the purpose of randomization in this studyA. To increase the accuracy of the research results B. To ensure that all potential cancer patients had an equal chance of beng selected for the study. C. To reduce the amount of sampling error D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics E. To prevent skewness n the resuits. F. I am not familiar with this matorial

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.

120% as a fraction in simplest form
kkurt [141]
6/5 because how do you convert a percentage to a decimal? First you move the decimal points over by two, so you start off with 120 and end with 1.20. There are many ways you can go from here. If you have a graphing calculator like i do, then you type in 1.20 hit the "math" button, hit enter and a fraction already in its simplest form is given. I hope this helps, have a great day.

Consider the region, R, bounded above by f(x)=x2−6x+9 and g(x)=−3x+27 and bounded below by the x-axis over the interval [3,9]. F
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The region R contains every point of the plane with coordinate x between 3 and 9, and with coordinate y positive such that y < f(x) and y < g(x).

We can note that both f and g are positive on [3,9] because g is a decreasing linear function and g(9) = 0, thus g is positive in every other point of the interval, and f(x) = (x-3)^2 is always positive excpept when x = 3, where it reaches the value 0.

The interception of the graphs takes place for a value x such that f(x) = g(x).

We compute x^2-6x+9 = -3x + 27, thus x^2-6x+9-(-3x + 27) = x^2-3x -18 = 0.

The roots of that quadratic function are

r_1, r_2 = \frac{3 ^+_- \sqrt { 9 +72}}{2} = \frac{3^+_-9}{2} , thus r1 = 6, r2 = -3. We dont care about -3 because it is outside the interval, but we know that f and g graphs intersects on x = 6. Thus, we obtain, due to Bolzano Theorem:

  • On the interval [3,6), the function f in smaller because it takes the value 0 on x=3, while g is always positive.
  • On the interval (6,9]. the function g is smaller because it takes the value 0 on x=9, while f is always positive

Hence, the upper bound is f on the interval [3,6) and g on the interval (6,9]. While the lower bound is the 0 function.

We need to calculate the following integral, using Barrow's rule

\int\limits^6_3 {x^2-6x+9} \, dx + \int\limits^9_6 {-3x+27} \, dx = (\frac{x^3}{3} - 3x^2 + 9x) |^6_3 + (\frac{-3x^2}{2} + 27x)|^9_6 = \\  (18 - 9) + (121.5-108) = 22.5

As a result, the area of the region R is 22.5
