Imagine that Dr. Jones publishes a study that claims that drinking while pregnant is dangerous for the health of the unborn baby

. He surveys 200 women and finds that of the 100 women in his study who drank when pregnant, 78 had children who experienced problems with attention. Of the 100 women in his study who did not drink when pregnant, only 29 children experienced problems with attention. Your neighbor says that Dr. Jones is wrong because she drank when pregnant and her child is perfectly healthy. Explain why Dr. Jones is NOT wrong.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Jones conclusion was based on probability which measures the degree of likelihood of an occurrence or event. In his experiment, the result could be interpreted using point estimate to mean that ; 78/100 = 0.78 or 78% of those who drank while pregnant has problem with attention while only 29/100 = 0.29 or 29% of those who did not drink.

This conclusion means that pregnant women who drink have a higher likelihood of giving birth to a child with attention problem than pregnant women who do not drink. Hence, the fact that someone who drank gave birth to a perfectly healthy child does not discredit or annull Dr. Jones study.

A 25-foot ladder is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the building. If the top of the ladder sl
algol [13]

Answer:

As per the statement:

A 25-foot ladder is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the building.

⇒Length of the ladder against a building = 25 foot

and Length of the bottom of the ladder from the building= 7 feet.

You had Before the slip.

Let x be the height of the building where ladder hits the building

By Pythagoras theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2=\text{Perpendicular}^2+\text{Base}^2

Here, Perpendicular side = Height of the building = x ,  Base = Length of the bottom of the ladder from the building = 7 foot and Hypotenuse side = 25 foot

Substitute the value to solve for x;

25^2=x^2+7^2

625=x^2+49

or

x^2 = 625-49 = 576

x = \sqrt{576} = 24 foot.

⇒Height of the building = 24 foot

Now, if the ladder slips down 4 feet.

You had after slip

⇒Now, the height of the building becomes = 24-4 = 20 foot.

Let y be the distance from the building wall

then by Pythagoras theorem;

y^2+20^2 = 25^2

y^2+400 =625

y^2 = 625-400 = 225

y=\sqrt{225} = 15 foot.

We have to find how many feet will the bottom slide out.

Since, Originally the distance of the bottom from the building = 7 foot

And now, the distance is = 15 foot.

The bottom slide out will be = 15 - 7 =8 foot

Therefore, 8 feet will the bottom slide out
