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

1. 10(4j+6+2j) is equivalent to the given expression because all values within the expression are multiplied/increased by the same value (multiplied by 2).
2. Ten times the quantity of four j (or you could say four times j) plus six plus two j (or two times j).

Good luck, let me know if you need any clarification!~ c:

The missing measures are listed below:

$m \angle 1 = m \angle 3 = m \angle 6 = 59^{\circ}$
$m\angle 2 = m\angle 4 = m\angle 5 = m \angle 11 = 31^{\circ}$
$m\angle 7 = m\angle 8 = m\angle 9 = m\angle 10 = 118^{\circ}$

<h3>Procedure - Finding missing angles in a quadrilateral</h3>

In this question we must determine the measures of the <em>missing</em> angles by both <em>geometric</em> and <em>algebraic</em> means, whose procedure is presented below:

$x = 59^{\circ}$ Given
$m \angle 3 = 59^{\circ}$ Alternate internal angles
$m \angle 11 = 31^{\circ}$ Complementary angles
$m \angle 4 = 31^{\circ}$ Alternate internal angles
$m \angle 6 = 59^{\circ}$ Isosceles triangle
$m \angle 9 = 62^{\circ}$ Sum of internal angles in a triangle
$m \angle 10 = 118^{\circ}$ Supplementary angles
$m \angle 8 = 62^{\circ}$ , $m\angle 7 = 118^{\circ}$ Vertical angles
$m \angle 2 = 31^{\circ}$ Sum of internal angles in a triangle
$m \angle 5 = 31^{\circ}$ Sum of internal angles in a triangle
$m \angle 1 = 59^{\circ}$ Sum of internal angles in a triangle/Result

The missing measures are listed below:

$m \angle 1 = m \angle 3 = m \angle 6 = 59^{\circ}$
$m\angle 2 = m\angle 4 = m\angle 5 = m \angle 11 = 31^{\circ}$
$m\angle 7 = m\angle 8 = m\angle 9 = m\angle 10 = 118^{\circ}$

. Complete the congruence statement.

dexar [7]

Answer: angle N

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the triangle names HAS to indicate which angles are congruent. First letters are congruent (D and M), second letters are congruent (E and N), and third are congruent (F and O). Also, the diagram shows that the triangles are reflections of each other. reflect one triangle onto the other, and you see that E and N overlap.
