g (15 points) Suppose 42 out of 600 rats exposed to a potential carcinogen develop tumors. A control group of 350 rats not expos

ed to the carcinogen develops 13 tumors. Based on these data, computed (a) the relative risk, (b) the attributable risk, and (c) the odds ratio. Do these indicators suggest that there is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

Answer:

a) The relative risk is 1.8\overline{846153}

b) The attributable risk is 0.69 \overline{047619}

c) There is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of exposed rats that develop tumors, a = 42

The number of rats exposed to the carcinogen = 600 rats

The number of exposed rats that did not develop tumors, b = 600 - 42 = 558

The number of not exposed rats in the control group = 350 rats

The number of rats that develop tumors in the control group, c = 13 tumors

The number of not exposed rats that did not develop tumors, d = 350 - 13 = 337  rats

a) The relative risk, RR = a/(a + b)/(c/(c + d))

∴ RR = (42/(42 + 558))/(13/(13 + 337)) = 49/26 = 1.8\overline{846153}

b) The attributable risk = (a - c)/a

∴ The attributable risk = (42 - 13)/42 = 0.69 \overline{047619}

c) The odds ratio = (a·b)/(c·d)

∴ The odds ratio = 42 × 558/(13 × 337) = 23439/4381 ≈ 5.35

Given that the result of attributable risk is positive, there is an indication that there is a higher probability to develop tumor when exposed to the potential carcinogen, therefore, there is a relationship between exposure and tumor risk

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11
olga55 [171]

- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11
So we start by combining like terms;
- 6h + h =  - 5h
4 - 3 = 1
Now we have;
- 5h + 1 = 11
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
- 5h + 1 = 11
- 5h = 10
Then we divide both sides by 5;
- 5h = 10
- 5h \div  - 5h =  h
10 \div  - 5h =  - 2
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2

Please help with these
kherson [118]

The answers are as follows.

a. 9x

In order to get this, you need to reevaluate 64 as a base of 4. Since 64 is equal to 4^3, we can rewrite the right side as

64^3x = (4^3)^3x = 4^9x

Which gives you the first answer.

b. 10

Similar to the first problem, we need to express 16 as a base of 2. 2^4 is equal to 16, so we use that in it's place and simplify.

16^5/2 = (2^4)^5/2 = 2^20/2 = 2^10

c. Sqrt(7.31)

This one is more simple. Raising something to a 1/2 power (.5) is the same as taking the square root.

Awire 4 1/2 feet long is been cut into small pieces of wire each one and 1/4 feet long what is the maximum number of smaller pie
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Wire is 4 1/2 feet, or 4.5 feet.

Each smaller wire needs to be 1 1/4 feet, or 1.25 feet.

<em>How many whole 1.25 feet wire can we have from total of 4.5 feet wire?</em>

<em />

Let's divide:

\\frac{4.5}{1.25}=3.6

<em>thus we can have 3 whole "1.25 feet long" wire and fractional amount.</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, maximum number of smaller pieces is 3</em>
