One hundred sixty people who suffer from painful diabetic neuropathy have volunteered to participate in a study. Eighty are sele

cted at random and are given the drug gabapentin, which, although originally intended to prevent epileptic seizures, has properties that may make it useful to alleviate neuropathy. The remaining participants are given a placebo. A neurologist evaluates the symptoms of all volunteers after two months to determine if there has been substantial improvement in the severity of the symptoms.
Does the use of volunteers make this study invalid?

a. yes, because of volunteer bias no, because blocking was used.
b. yes, because there is no way to determine the effect of gabapentin on people that do not have symptoms of neuropathy.
c. no, because the subjects are randomly assigned to treatment groups.

Answer:

C. No, because the subjects are randomly assigned to treatment groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 80 people are selected at random and are given the drug gabapentin.

Also that the remaining people are given the placebo.

This means that they are randomly assigned treatment groups and so it is a completely randomized block design and as such the use of volunteers doesn't make it invalid.

Jessica made plans to weave a rectangular jute rug, but she needs to update the plans to change the dimensions of the rug. The o
loris [4]

Answer:

Length of rug in original design is 36 inches .

Width of rug in original design is  60 inches .

The problem says that the new design has length 3x inches longer  and x inches wider than the rug in the original plans .

New length of rug would be 3x inches longer than the original design  which is 36 inches .

Thus new length of rug is  ( 3x + 36  )  inches .

New width of rug is x inches wider than the rug in the original plans which is 60 inches in original plan .

Thus new width of rug is   ( x + 60   )   inches .

Area of rectangle is  Length * Width  

Area of new rug is   ( 3x + 36 ) * ( x + 60 )

We distribute the terms using FOIL method .

( 3x + 36 ) *( x + 60 )  = 3x ( x + 60 ) + 36 ( x + 60 )

                                    =  3x² +  3x * 60  + 36 x  + 36 * 60

                                    =   3x²  + 180 x + 36 x + 2160

    Combining like terms ,  3x² + 216 x + 2160

Thus the area of the rug with the new dimensions is

( 3x + 36) ( x + 60 )  = 3x² + 216 x + 2160 .
