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 six locations, and a control was applied to the other two. How many different choices were there for the six locations to apply the new ointment

Answer:

There were 28 different choices for the six locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the location are chosen is not important, which means that 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)!}

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

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

Six locations from a set of 8. So

C_{8,6} = \frac{8!}{6!2!} = 28

There were 28 different choices for the six locations to apply the new ointment

(Note: a research study on coniferous trees of the American West
eimsori [14]

Answer:

p = 0.07

p-hat = 0.035

p0 = 0.07

p-value = 0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

p = population parameter, in this case, the rate of infestations across all trees in the forest

p-hat = test statistic, in this case, the rate of infestations found in the sample of trees, i.e. those in Doug's backyard

p0 = the null hypothesis, in this case, the rate of infestations within the forest is correctly evaluated at 0.07 or 7%

p-value = the likelihood any difference between p and p-hat is down to chance

In this case 0.003 as the p-value means there is only 0.3% probability of our statistic value of 0.035 being down to variability and chance meaning it is 99.7% likely that there is some reason behind this difference;

We would accept the alternative hypothesis which says the current parameter value, 0.07, is in fact incorrect (either too high or too low, in this case, likely too high).

Select the sets that are not functions.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

D,E are not functions

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation in which every  input has not more than one output.But the output of the inputs may be same.Here in D the input 1 has 4 different outputs as 1,2,3,4.So its not a function.Similarly in E 6 has 2 outputs as 2 and -1.For remaining sets the inputs has only one output.so they are functions.
