Are anesthetics safe? The National Halothane Study was a major investigation of the safety of anesthetics used in surgery. Recor

ds of over 850,000 operations performed in 34 major hospitals showed the following death rates for four common anesthetics:
Anesthetic A B C D
Death 1.7% 1.7% 3.4% 1.9%
There seems to be a dear association between the anesthetic used and the death rate of patients. Anesthetic C appears to be dangerous.
A) Select the best explanation for why we call the National Halothane Study an observational study rather than an experiment, even though it compared the results of using different anesthetics in actual surgery.
B) When the study looked at other variables that are confounded with a doctor's choice of anesthetic, it found that Anesthetic C was not causing extra deaths. Suggest several variables that are mixed up with what anesthetic a patient receives.

Answer:

a) An experiment is conducted based on random observations not on certain selected observations.

b) age, blood type etc

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We call the National Halothane Study an observational study rather than an experiment, because the anesthetics  were not randomly chosen. They were prescribed by the doctors.

An experiment is conducted based on random observations not on certain selected observations.

b) There are factors such as age, sex, intensity , limit, tolerance and reactivity of the patient with the particular anesthetics chosen. If these are not carefully studied the results may not be as rewarding as desired.

If an anesthetics is chosen wihtou knowing the age or blood type for tolerance it may result in dangerous situations.

Some patients are highly tolerant with certain medications but others may die.

Circle a has a radius of 3 and circle b has a radius of 11. if the idstance between the center of the circles in 17, find the le
Andrews [41]
Use Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
"a" is one side of the right triangle.
Its length is: radius of larger circle minus radius of smaller circle: (11 - 3 = 8)
The distance between the center of the circles creates the hypotenuse (17)
8² + b² = 17²
       b² = 225
       b = 15

Answer: the length of the common external tangent is 15.

Customers of a phone company can choose between two service plans for long distance calls. The first plan has a $13 monthly fee
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

With 250 minutes of calls the cost of the two plans is the same

Step-by-step explanation:

We must write an equation to represent the cost of each call plan.

<u>For the first plan</u>

Monthly fee

 $ 13

Cost per minute

 $ 0.17

If we call x the number of call minutes then the equation representing the cost c for this plan is:

c = 13 + 0.17x

<u>For the second plan</u>

monthly fee

$ 23

Cost per minute

$ 0.13

If we call x the number of call minutes then the equation representing the cost c for this plan is:

c = 23 + 0.13x

To know when the cost of both plans are equal, we equate the two equations and solve for x.

13 + 0.17x = 23 + 0.13x\\\\0.17x -0.13x = 23-13\\\\0.04x = 10

x = \frac{10}{0.04}

x = 250\ minutes

With 250 minutes of calls the cost of the two plans is the same: $55.5
