Answer:

A. Observational study

Step-by-step explanation:

In research, an observational study is a type of study in which the researcher observes a phenomenon and tries to establish some relationship between the different variables he/she is observing. In other words, the researcher only observes and doesn't give a treatment.

On the other hand, when we have a experiment, we usually have 2 different groups (one that will receive a treatment and one who won't) and the researcher compares the differences between these two groups because of the treatment. In other words, the researcher does something other than just observing.

In this example, the research is going to determine if there is a relation between hearing loss and exposure to mumps. In this example the researcher is only going to observe how people who have been exposed to mumps are regarding hearing loss <u>(we can say this since it will be unethical for example for the researcher to create an experiment in which he/she exposes a group to mumps)</u>. Therefore, he is going to observe how the past exposure to mumps could be related with the hearing loss.

Thus, this is an observational study.

7(x-4)=14<br> what are the steps?

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 7 by x and 7 by -4. You get 7x-28=14, add 28 to 14, which is 42. So 7x=42, then divide 7 on both sides, and you get x=6.

Write 4-6x/3 as a sum or difference

rusak2 [61]

Simplify➡ x over 3

➡ 4 - (6 × x over 3 )

➡ 4 - 2x = -2 × ( x - 2)

Final result ➡ -2 × (x - 2)

Solve for a.<br> ab +c= d.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

a = (d -c)/b

Step-by-step explanation:

Undo the addition of c, by subtracting c.

ab +c -c = d -c

ab = d - c

Undo the multiplication by b, by dividing by b.

ab/b = (d -c)/b

a = (d -c)/b

1. A certain ceiling is made up of tiles. Every square meter of ceiling requires 10.75 tiles. Fill in the table with the missing

dybincka [34]

Given:

Consider the below table attached with this question.

Every square meter of ceiling requires 10.75 tiles.

To find:

The missing values in the table.

Solution:

We have,

1 square meter of ceiling = 10.75 tiles. ...(i)

Therefore, the number of tiles corresponding to 1 square meter of ceiling is 10.75.

Multiply both sides by 10.

10×1 square meter of ceiling = 10×10.75 tiles.

10 square meter of ceiling = 107.5 tiles.

Therefore, the number of tiles corresponding to 10 square meter of ceiling is 107.5.

Divide both sides by 10.75 in (i).

$\dfrac{1}{10.75}$ square meter of ceiling = 1 tile.

Multiply both sides by 100.

$\dfrac{100}{10.75}$ square meter of ceiling = 100 tiles.

On approximating the value, we get

9.3 square meter of ceiling = 100 tiles.

Therefore, the square meters of ceiling corresponding to 100 tiles is about 9.3.

Multiply both sides by a in (i).

a×1 square meter of ceiling = a×10.75 tiles.

a square meter of ceiling = 10.75a tiles.

Therefore, the number of tiles corresponding to a square meter of ceiling is 10.75a.
