The other 20 students were given a placebo treatment. She then gave all 40 students a standardized reading comprehension test. The mean score on the reading test for those taught the reading strategies was 49, with a standard deviation of 4 The mean score for those receiving the placebo treatment was 44, with a standard deviation of 3.8.

Answer:

D.the treatment group (placebo or reading strategies)

Step-by-step explanation:

This cognitive psychologists wants to find out if better reading strategies when taught to students would have any effect on their test scores.

So the dependent variable in this experiment would be the test scores that she wants to find from the test.

While the independent variable would be the treatment group which is the placebo or treatment. The psychologist wants to measure outcomes in this dependent variable using changes in the independent variable (placebo/treatment).

How to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line<br> please help me!!!!!!!
stepan [7]

Answer:

Sweetie, it's easy. Let me explain.

The slope formula is (y2 - y1) (x2 - x1) you find the slope by putting the rise over the run. For example, if the point goes up 2 and right 3 your slope would be (2,3) and let's just say your next coordinate is (4,5) you would take the y, 5, from the second coordinate and subtract it by the y from the first coordinate, 3. So you would have 2 and you do the same with the x values. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope I helped at all.

Solve the slope…. pls
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

slope = 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the x-intercept: (-7, 0) and the y-intecept: (0, 5):

We can use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let (x1, y1) = (-7, 0)

(x2, y2) = (0, 5)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{5 - 0}{0 - (-7)} = \frac{5}{7}

Therefore, the slope is 5/7
