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!

find the value of each variable in the circle to the right. the dot represents the center of the circle.

gladu [14]

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the value of each variable.

We can see that angle b corresponds to diameter of circle. We know that the measure of an angle that is inscribed to the diameter of a circle is 90 degrees . Therefore, the value of b will be 90.

we can see that angle is an inscribed angle of arc 99 degrees. We know that measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of inscribed arc.

$a=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 99$

$a=49.5$

Therefore, the value of a is 49.5 units.

We know that measure of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. The measure of 3rd angle will be half the measure of c, so we can set an equation as:

$a+b+\frac{1}{2}c=180$
