A survey of physicians in 1979 found that some doctors give a placebo to patients who complain of pain for which the physician c

an find no cause. If the patients' pain improves, these doctors conclude that it had no physical basis. The medical researchers who conducted the survey claimed that these doctors do not understand the placebo effect. Why?

Below are the few reasons:

- There may have been a physical basis and yet the placebo can seem like it worked due to the patients mindset that they will get better. 
<span>- Also, the doctors must not tell the patient that they will be taking a placebo. They must assure the patient that the "pill" will cure their problems.</span>

1 5/6 −(x− 7/12 )+2 1/12 =0.9
iren [92.7K]
The answer is x=3.6 or 3 3/5.

First we convert the decimal answer to a fraction; 0.9 is read as "nine tenths," so the corresponding fraction is 9/10:

1 5/6 - (x - 7/12) + 2 1/12 = 9/10

Now we find a common denominator.  The first thing that 6, 12 and 10 will all divide into is 60:

1 50/60 - (x - 35/60) + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Distributing the negative, we have:
1 50/60 - x + 35/60 + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Combining like terms, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 = 54/60

Subtracting 4 30/60 from each side, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 - 4 30/60 = 54/60 - 4 30/60
-x = -3 36/60

Divide both sides by -1:
-x/-1 = (-3 36/60)/-1
x = 3 36/60 = 3 3/5 = 3.6

If the probability of observing at least one car on a highway during any 20-minute time interval is 609/625, then the probability of observing at least one car during any 5-minute time interval is 609/2500

Given The probability of observing at least one car on a highway during any 20 minute time interval is 609/625.

We have to find the probability of observing at least one car during any 5 minute time interval.

Probability is the likeliness of happening an event among all the events possible. It is calculated as number/ total number. Its value lies between 0 and 1.

Probability during 20 minutes interval=609/625

Probability during 1 minute interval=609/625*20

=609/12500

Probability during 5 minute interval=(609/12500)*5

=609/2500

Hence the probability of observing at least one car during any 5 minute time interval is 609/2500.

∠A and ∠B are complementary. m∠A=29°. find m∠B.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the expressions up and set up an equation.

( 2 x − 29 ) + ( x + 23 ) = 90 Simplify and solve for x.

3 x − 6 = 90 3 x = 96 x = 32 Find angle B.

x + 23 = 32 + 23 = 55

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

Mariana [72]

Answer:

25=10+\frac{1}{3}n.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the sum of 10 and one-third of a number  is 25.

Let as consider n be the unknown number.

One-third of a number =\frac{1}{3}n

Sum of 10 and one-third of a number =10+\frac{1}{3}n

The sum of 10 and one-third of a number  is 25. It can be written as

25=10+\frac{1}{3}n

Therefore, the required equation is 25=10+\frac{1}{3}n.
