Two researchers make a test concerning standardized exam performance among senior high school students in one of two local commu

nities. Researcher A tests performance from the population in the northern community, where the standard deviation of test scores is 110 ( ); Researcher B tests performance from the population in the southern community, where the standard deviation of test scores is 60 ( ). All other things being equal, which researcher has more power to detect an effect? Explain.

Answer:

Researcher B

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, when all other things being equal, we usually say that power is higher when the standard deviation is small than when it is large.

Now, from researcher A, standard deviation is 110 while from researcher B, standard deviation is 60.

We can see that the standard deviation for researcher B is smaller than that of researcher A.

Therefore, we can conclude that since the standard deviation for researcher B is lesser than that of researcher A, it means that Researcher B will have more power to detect an effect.

Find the value of k for which the line y = kx + 6 is a tangent to the curve x^2 + y^2 – 10x + 8y = 84
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

k = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

input y = kx +6 into the equation of the curve x² + y² – 10x + 8y = 84

x² + (kx + 6)² - 10x + 8(kx + 6) = 84

expand:

x² + k²x² + 12kx + 36 - 10x + 8kx + 48 = 84

simplify by collecting like terms:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 = 84

subtract 84 on both sides to bring it to the left:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 - 84 = 0

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x = 0

factorise out x:

x²(1 + k²) + x(20k - 10) = 0

using the discriminant b² - 4ac where b is 20k - 10, a is 1 + k² and c is 0, substitute them in the formula b² - 4ac:

b² - 4ac

(20k - 10)² - 4(1 + k²)(0) = 0

the part highlighted in bold is gone because it's all multiplied by 0, so we are left with (20k - 10)² = 0

(20k - 10)² is the same as

(20k - 10)(20k - 10)

equate both to 0

20k - 10 = 0 and 20k - 10 = 0

add 10 on both sides

20k = 10 and 20k = 10

divide 20 on both sides

k = 10/20 and k = 10/20 which are both the same

10/20 is simplified to 1/2

k = 1/2

A rectangular garden is fenced on all sides with 248 feet of fencing. The garden is 6 feet longer than it is wide. Fine the leng
Shalnov [3]

The total length of the fencing is 248 ft; we call this the "perimeter" of the garden.  Since P = 2W + 2L in general, here:

                       P = 248 ft = 2W + 2(W+6), or   248 ft = 4W + 12.

Subtracting 12 from both sides of this equation:  236 ft = 4W.  Then W = 59 ft, which means that L = 65 ft.
