Sickle-cell disease is a painful disorder of the red blood cells that in the United States affects mostly African Americans. To investigate whether the drug hydroxyurea can reduce the pain associated with sickle-cell disease, a study by the National Institutes of Health gave the drug to 150 sickle-cell sufferers and a placebo to another 150 sufferers. The researchers then counted the number of episodes of pain reported by each subject. What is the response variable in this study

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The response variable is; reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.

Explanation:

Note, a response variable (dependent variable) simply refers to resulting effect (either significant or insignificant effect) of the independent variable on the subjects of the experiment.

In other words, the effect of the drug hydroxyurea after the experiment would show whether it leads to or not lead to a reduction in the pain associated with sickle-cell disease.

Find all relative extrema and classify each as a maximum or minimum. Use the second-derivative test where possible. f(x) = 125x 3 − 15x + 8

Answers

Answer:

The following classification is found:

[tex](0.2, 6)[/tex] - Absolute minimum

[tex](-0.2, 10)[/tex] - Absolute maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]f(x) = 125\cdot x^{3}-15\cdot x + 8[/tex], we need to find first and second derivatives of this expression at first:

First derivative

[tex]f'(x) = 375\cdot x^{2}-15[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Second derivative

[tex]f''(x) = 750\cdot x[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Critical points are points that equals first derivative to zero and that may be maxima or minima. That is:

[tex]375\cdot x^{2} -15 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{375} }[/tex]

Which leads to the following critical points:

[tex]x_{1}\approx 0.2[/tex] and [tex]x_{2} \approx -0.2[/tex]

Now we evaluate each result in second derivative expression:

[tex]f''(x_{1}) = 750\cdot (0.2)[/tex]

[tex]f''(x_{1})=150[/tex] (Absolute minimum)

[tex]f''(x_{2})= 750\cdot (-0.2)[/tex]

[tex]f''(x_{2}) = -150[/tex] (Absolute maximum)

Lastly we evaluate the function at each critical point:

[tex]f(x_{1})= 125\cdot (0.2)^{3}-15\cdot (0.2)+8[/tex]

[tex]f(x_{1})= 6[/tex]

[tex]f(x_{2})= 125\cdot (-0.2)^{3}-15\cdot (-0.2)+8[/tex]

[tex]f(x_{2}) = 10[/tex]

And the following classification is found:

[tex](0.2, 6)[/tex] - Absolute minimum

[tex](-0.2, 10)[/tex] - Absolute maximum

The troll demanded payment of one-half of the apples, plus two more. The prince gave him the apples and set off again. A little further on, a second troll guard stopped the prince and demanded payment of one-half of the apples the prince now had, plus two more. The prince paid the troll and set off again. Just before leaving the enchanted orchard, a third troll stopped the prince and demanded one-half of his remaining apples plus two more. The prince paid him and returned home. He had only two golden apples left. How many apples did the prince pick?


How does the problem change if there happened to be 4 trolls Instead Of 3? If the Prince still ends up with two apples, how many did he start with?

Answers

Answer:

How many apples did the prince pick?

the prince ended up with 2 apples:

the number of apples he had before meeting the third troll = (2 x 2) + 2 = 6 applesthe number of apples he had before meeting the second troll = (6 x 2) + 2 = 14 applesthe number of apples he had before meeting the first troll = (14 x 2) + 2 = 30 apples

the prince picked 30 golden apples

How does the problem change if there happened to be 4 trolls Instead of 3? If the Prince still ends up with two apples, how many did he start with?

you must add one more troll into the sequence:

the number of apples he had before meeting the fourth troll = (2 x 2) + 2 = 6 applesthe number of apples he had before meeting the third troll = (6 x 2) + 2 = 14 applesthe number of apples he had before meeting the second troll = (14 x 2) + 2 = 30 applesthe number of apples he had before meeting the first troll = (30 x 2) + 2 = 62 apples

the prince picked 62 golden apples

(a) Suppose that Evan decides to study s key terms, where s is an integer between 0 and 100. Let X be the number of key terms appearing on the exam that he has studied. What is the distribution of X? Give the name and parameters, in terms of s. (b) Calculate the probability that Evan knows at least 7 of the 10 key terms that appear on the exam, assuming that he studies s = 75 key term

(b) 0.785384...

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) looking at the question, we see that [tex]X = \in \{0, ... , 10 \}[/tex], suppose Evans studied s key terms, this implies that he has not studied 100 - s key terms. Suppose [tex]k = \in \{0, ... , 10 \}[/tex] if X = k, then k out of the s key terms he had studied appeared. But 10 - k out of 100 - s key terms he hasn't studied appeared. Thus X is an Hypergeometric distribution, X~HGeom(s, 100 - s, 10) with PMF:

ve ocity at the end of 2 minutes and what distance will it cover
during that time?​

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity will be 60 m/s.

The distance covered is 3,600 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's known as a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo is the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

[tex]v_f=v_o+at[/tex]

The distance traveled by the object is calculated as:

[tex]\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}[/tex]

The bus starts from rest, i.e. vo=0, the acceleration is a=0.5 m/s^2. The magnitude of the velocity at t=2 minutes = 120 seconds is:

[tex]v_f=0+0.5\cdot 120=60 \ m/s[/tex]

The magnitude of the velocity will be 60 m/s.

The distance covered during that time is:

[tex]\displaystyle x=0+\frac{0.5\cdot 120^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{7,200}{2}[/tex]

x = 3,600 m

the half life of c14 is 5730 years. Suppose that wood found at an archeological excavation site contains about 35% as much C14 as does living plant material. Determine when the wood was cut

Answers

Answer:

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that examination occured in 2020. The decay of radioactive isotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt}[/tex] - First derivative of mass in time, measured in miligrams per year.

[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, measured in years.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the radioactive isotope, measured in miligrams.

Now we obtain the solution of this differential equation:

[tex]\int {\frac{dm}{m} } = -\frac{1}{\tau}\int dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln m = -\frac{1}{\tau} + C[/tex]

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass of isotope, measured in miligrams.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in years.

And time is cleared within the equation:

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \left[\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right][/tex]

Then, time constant can be found as a function of half-life:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we know that [tex]t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr[/tex] and [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = 0.35[/tex], then:

[tex]\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr[/tex]

[tex]t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.35[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 8678.505\,yr[/tex]

in the diagram, PSR is a straight line. Calculate the value of X and Y.

(easy questions :) HELPPPPPP !!!!​

Answers

Answer:

x = 56 degrees, y = 32 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem (ITT) tells us that if there are two sides of a triangle that are congruent, then the base angles of this triangle are congruent (angles opposite the congruent sides).

Let's focus on Triangle PQS first. We have the acute angle 68° and want to find x. Due to the ITT, we know that the other missing angle must also equal x.

Therefore, we can create an equation where the interior angles of Triangle PQS will add up to 180, because all interior angle measures of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

68 + x + x = 180

Combine like terms.

68 + 2x = 180

Subtract 68 from both sides of the equation.

2x = 112

Divide both sides the equation by 2.

x = 56

We have found that x = 56 degrees, and now we need to find y. We can do so by using the information we have already found. Since we have found the two angles x of Triangle PQS, we can find ∠QSR in Triangle QSR by using the idea that angles that make up a straight line must add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore:

∠PSQ + ∠QSR = 180

We have found that ∠PSQ = 56, so substitute this value into the equation.

56 + ∠QSR = 180

Subtract 56 from both sides of the equation.

∠QSR = 124

Now we can use the fact that all interior angle measurements of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, and since we have 2 angle measures of Triangle QSR, we can create an equation to solve for y.

124 + 24 + y = 180

Combine like terms.

148 + y = 180

Subtract 148 from both sides of the equation.

y = 32

We have found x = 56 degrees and y = 32 degrees.

Answer:

X= 56 °Y= 32 °

What do you mean by Writer?

A writer is someone who writes books, articles, stories, etc., sometimes as a job or a vocation.

Francesco Petrarca, often known as Petrarch, was an Italian philosopher, poet, and one of the first Humanists. He lived from July 20, 1304, to July 19, 1374. The 14th-century Renaissance is frequently regarded with having started as a result of Petrarch's rediscovery of Cicero's letters. Humanism is frequently credited with having its roots in Petrarch. During the Renaissance, Petrarch's sonnets were appreciated, emulated, and used as a template for lyrical poetry all over Europe. Based on Petrarch's writings, Pietro Bembo developed the framework for the modern Italian language in the 16th century.

Therefore, Option (b) is correct. Petrarch believed Christian scholars should study writers of pagan Rome.
