Question:

The physiological blind spot refers to a very small zone of functional blindness in the eye where the optic nerve passes through the retina. We do not notice it because our nervous system compensates for it. Can eye training reduce the size of a person's physiological blind spot? Researchers recruited a representative sample of 10 adults with normal vision. Each participant performed training exereises with one eye for three weeks. The size of the physiological blind spot was measured (in degrees of visual angle squared) with a motion detection task both prior to training and again after the training was completed. Which of the options is the response variable?

A) The size of the physiological blind spot

B) The number of adults.

C) The type of training exercises performed by each participant.

D) The size of the physiological blind spot.

E) The number of times an adult performed training exercises.

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

The response variable (when experimenting) is the variable or factor about which the researcher is concerned. It can also be (as the name entails) the variable which respond to changes in the experiment.

The changes in the experiment is the training. The variable which the researcher is concerned about and which may or may not change with the introduction of training is the size of the physiological blind spot.

Cheers!

candy box is made from a piece of cardboard that measures 45 by 24 inches. Squares of equal size will be cut out of each comer.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Each square should have 5 inches of side and area = 25 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy box is made that measures 45 by 24 inches.

Let the squares of equal size x inches has been cut out of each corner.

The sides will then be folded up to form a rectangular box.

Now we have to find the size of square that should be cut from each corner to obtain maximum volume of the box.

Now the box is with length = (45 - 2x) inches

and width = (24 - 2x) inches

and height = x inches

Volume of the candy box = Length × width × height

V = (45 - 2x)(24 - 2x)(x)

V = x(1080 - 48x -90x + 4x²)

= x(1080 - 138x + 4x²)

= 4x³ - 138x² + 1080x

Now we will find the derivative of volume and equate it to zero.

$\frac{dV}{dx}=12x^{2}-276x+1080=0$

12(x² - 23x + 90) = 0

x² - 23x + 90 = 0

x² - 18x - 5x + 90 = 0

x(x - 18) - 5(x - 18) = 0

(x - 5)(x - 18)=0

x = 5, 18

Now for x = 18 Width of the box will be = (24 - 2×18) = 24 - 36 = -12

Which is not possible.

Therefore, x = 5 will be the possible value.

Therefore, square having area 25 square inches should be cut out from each corner to get the maximum volume of candy box.

The volume of a rectangular prism is 270 cubic centimeters. The height of the prism is 5 centimeters. What should the length and

arlik [135]

V=volume h=height l=length w=width
V=h•w•l
w•l=v/5
w•l=270/5
w•l=54
Since this is all we know, we can't tell what the width or length really is but we can give examples: 6 and 9 (or 9 and 6), 4 and 13.5 (or the other way round), 18 and 3 (or 3 and 18), 2 and 27 (or 27 and 2).

Now suppose instead that Jane withdraws $500 from her checking account and uses $300 of this money to pay her federal income tax

zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Money held by individuals in savings accounts is part of the M2 money supply, but not part ofthe M1 money supply. Therefore, when Jane withdraws $500 cash from her savings account,the M1 money supply increases by $500. However, the M2 money supply does not changebecause the M1 money supply is included as part of the M2 money supply.b. Money held by banks and governments is not included as part of the money supply. Therefore,when Jane uses $300 to pay her income tax to the U.S. Treasury, that total of $300 is taken out ofboth the M1 and M2 money supplies. When Jane deposits the remaining cash ($80) into hersavings account, the M1 money supply is reduced by that amount, but it does not affect the M2money supply. Therefore, Jane's actions cause the M2 money supply to change by $300 (theamount used to pay her taxes) and the M1 money supply to change by $380 (the amount used topay her taxes plus the amount that was deposited into her savings account). Note that it does notmatter that Jane no longer has the $120 she used to pay for the gold clubs, as the funds remainsin someone else's checking account. So this amount is neither removed from the M1 moneysupply nor the M2 money supply.NumericResponseDifficulty: 03 HardLearning Objective: 1402 List anddescribe the components of the U.S.money supply.5000380300References
