A tape manufacturer has created a new formula that is supposed to be more adhesive on all types of surfaces. Managers wish to co

nduct an experiment on aluminum and wood to see how well the tape sticks to them. To determine this, they take a random sample of tape with the new formula and use four different weights taped to random places on each of the two surfaces. They will measure how long the tape holds the weights on each surface and compare the times. Which of the following best describes this experiment?a. This is an observational study.b. This is an experiment with blocking.c. The type of surface is a confounding variable.d. This is a double-blind experiment.e. This is a randomized experiment resulting in the placebo effect.

Answer:

This is an experiment with blocking ( B )

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to describe this experiment is an experiment with blocking this is because the Type of surface where the tape is been tested can be considered a  blocking variable while the weights can be considered  as treatments

A blocking variable is a variable used in experiment which is not of primary interest to the experiment  observer ( I.e. The tape is supposed to hold on all types of surfaces and not just on Aluminum and wood surface )

Setler [38]

Answer:

x+y =13

10x + 9y =122

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

The sum of the hours he worked washing cars (x) and the hours he worked walking dogs(y) will be equal to the total hours worked (13)

  • x+y =13

For the second equation the product of the number of hours he worked washing cars(x) and the price per hour ($10) plus the product of the number of hours he worked walking dogs (y) and the price per hour ($9) will be equal to the total amount earned (122)-

  • 10x + 9y =122

So, the system of equations is:

  • x+y =13
  • 10x + 9y =122

Where:

x: number of hours Jose worked washing cars

y: number of hours Jose worked walking dogs

3. (07.04)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The probability  that an applicant does not get a job if he or she has an interview is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the applicant has been interviewed, then she/he belongs to the group of 20 people that had an interview.
  • 16 of the 20 people who were interviewed were offered a job, which means that 4 of the 20 people interviewed were not offered a job.
  • Then, 4/20= 20% of the people who were intervied did not get a job, which means that the <u>probability that an applicant does not get a job if he/she were interviewed is 20%</u>.
  • Pat attention: this probability results from analysing the probability of getting a job once you have had an interview (this condition restricts our attention to the group of 20 people who had an interview, and not to the hole group of 500 people who did apply for the job).

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

B. zero

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature is supposed to remain constant over time (the same) when working properly, then this means that there is no increase or decrease over time.

If there were a line to represent this, then it would be a straight line with a slope of 0 because the temperature would remain the same.

1) cscΘ = - 2

=>

        1
      ------ = - 2
      sinΘ

=> sinΘ = - 0.5 => Θ is in the third and fourth quadrant

=> Θ = 180° + 30° = 210°

and Θ = 360° + 30° = 330°

2) tan Θ = √3

=> Θ = 60° and Θ = 180° + 60° = 240°
