Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics
Step-by-step explanation:
By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.
This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.
How am I so supposed to solve the question without the picture?
Answer:
The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.
Step-by-step explanation:
After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Ben's body decreases exponentially.
This means that the amount of caffeine after t hours is given by:
In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.
The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is 0.2722.
1 - 0.2722 = 0.7278, thus, 
. We use this to find k.
Then
What is the 5-hour growth/decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body?
We have to find find A(5), as a function of A(0). So
The decay factor is:
1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469
The 5-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine in Ben's body is of 0.1469.
12 students/1 teacher = 276 students/x teachers
Students are on top of the ratio and teachers are on the bottom of the ratio. It must remain the same on both sides of the equation.
12 x = 276
divide by 12
x =23
