An article describes a study in which a new type of ointment was applied to forearms of volunteers to study the rates of absorpt

ion into the skin. Eight locations on the forearm were designated for ointment application. The new ointment was applied to four locations, and a control was applied to the other four. How many different choices were there for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Answer:

There were 70 choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the locations are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

How many different choices were there for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Four locations from a set of 8. So

C_{8,4} = \frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!} = 70

There were 70 choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Which statement is true of triangles P and Q? Triangle P has side lengths of 6, 8, 10 and angle measures of 53.1 degrees, 90 deg
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Triangle P and Triangle Q are mathematically similar shapes (?).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, so the question asks which statement is true, given the following information, but you haven't written what statements we can choose from.

After reading the information, we can see that Triangle Q is the same shape as Triangle P but just larger.

I'm assuming that one of the statements given is about Triangle P and Triangle Q being mathematically similar shapes?

If you need to show your working out, here it is:

18 ÷ 6 = 3

24 ÷ 8 = 3

30 ÷ 10 = 3

All the angles are the same.

This means that the length scale factor is +3 from Triangle P to Triangle Q, the area scale factor is +9 (because 3 x 3 = 9) from Triangle P to Triangle Q, and that the two shapes are mathematically similar.

*DISCLAIMER* The majority of question askers on Brainly seem to be from the US, and I'm not, so the way I work things out / the mathematical terms I use might be different. Sorry!

Hope this helped anyway!

To find the average number of customers for dinner, use the simple ratio of 5 lunch customers for every 8 dinner customers.

Because there are 40 lunch customers, this is eight groups of five lunch customers. This means you will need 8 groups of 8 dinner customers to make it equivalent.

8 x 8 = 64

There is an average of 64 customers for dinner.
