Gerbils can develop gastrointestinal tract issues as they get older that may cause severe diarrhea and dehydration. A researcher wishes to conduct a study to find which of two antibiotics, Antibiotic A or Antibiotic B, is more effective in improving gastrointestinal tract health. A total of 300 Gerbils that are at least 1 years old will be randomly selected from zoos in the state of Florida. The researcher will get consent from all owners, treat the gerbils for ten months and evaluate changes in gastrointestinal health.

Part A: How would the study benefit from adding a control group?
Part B: What is the best way to randomly place the gerbils into the Antibiotic A, Antibiotic B, and control groups?
Part C: The researcher wants to use a blocking variable to place gerbils into groups instead of doing it randomly. He decides to block either by breed or zoo. Explain which would be the best blocking method.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Adding control group will definitely benefit the study, as it will behave as the reference, or a benchmark for comparison. In order to compare and study the effects of the treatment control group is the one to compare with. So, in this way study would benefit by adding the control group, as it will become easier to know how much effective is the treatment as compared to the control group.

b)

Now, we have to randomly place the gerbils into the 1. Antibiotic A 2. Antibiotic B, and 3. control Groups

So, we have 3 groups to place gerbils randomly.

Now, we have to find the no. of replicates needed for 3 groups and 300 Gerbils.

n = t x r

n = 300

t = 3

r = ?

r = n/t

r = 300/3

r = 100 replicates will be needed.

First of all, we need to find the total number of experimental plots = n = 300

Secondly, we need to give each experimental plot a plot number in consecutive manner for example: we have 300 experimental plots

We can give numbers as 1,2,3,4,5 ...... 300

Thirdly, we need to give treatments a experimental plot picked from the random number table. For that, 300 divided  by 3 = 100  numbers are to be achieved and put them in ascending or descending order.

c)

The best blocking method would be the blocking by breed of Gerbils. As in zoo, we know that, gerbils can develop gastrointestinal tract issues as they get older that may cause severe diarrhea and dehydration. But on the contrary, it gets better when it get old in case of breed of gerbils. Hence, the best blocking method would be the blocking by breed of gerbils instead by zoo.

Jodie bought a refrigerator on sale for 35% off the original price, for $97. What was the price of the refrigerator before the sale?

Answers

$97 = (Original Price) - (35% of Original Price)

$97 = (Original Price) - (0.35 of Original Price)

$97 = (1 - 0.35) of (Original Price)

$97 = (0.65) of (Original Price)

$97 = 0.65 · (Original Price)

Divide each side by 0.65 .

$97/0.65 = Original Price

Which expression is equivalent to 5st + 40t

Answers

Answer: 5(1st+8t)

Step-by-step explanation:You factor 5st + 40t  using GCF .And the GCF of 5 and 40 is 5 .So you take 5st and you divide it by 5 and also you take 40 t and divide it by 5 too.And after you take 5st and you divide it by 5 ,you get 1 st .To add on,after you take 40 t and divide it by 5 you get 8t .Finally ,you take the GCF which is 5 and place  Parentheses next to it and you take 1st and 8t and you add them together .

So your expression that is equivalent to 5st + 40t ,is 5(1st+8t) .

Answer:

Period = pi

Angular frequency = 2

Amplitude = 5

Midline is the line y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A sinusoidal wave is written in the general form as:

f(x) = A*cos(w*x) + C

Where:

- A is the amplitude.

- w is the angular frequency, this is equal to 2*pi/T

  where T is the period.

- y = C is the midline.

Then in the equation:

f(x) = 5*cos(2*x) + 3

- 5 is the amplitude.

- 2 is the angular frequency (in the image is called frequency, but this quantity must be in radians/time, while the normal frequency is only in Hz)

- We know that the angular frequency is equal to 2*pi/T, whit this eqation we can find the period:

2 = 2*pi/T

T = 2*pi/2 = pi

pi is the period.

- y = 3 is the midline.

A triangular prism, with bases consisting of equilateral triangles of side length s, has height h and a volume of 250. If the surface area of the prism includes the areas of all the sides and the bases, what value of s minimizes the surface area of the prism

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The required value of s to minimize the surface area of the prism is given as 10.

What is a triangular prism?

A triangular prism has 2 triangles as their top and bottom and three other faces as rectangles. The volume of the prism is given as the product of its height and base area.

The given problem can be solved as follows,

The expression for the volume of the prism is given as,

V = √3/4 × s²h

Substitute V = 250 to obtain,

250 = √3/4 × s²h

⇒ s²h = 1000/√3                       (1)

And, the expression for the surface area is given by,

A = 3 × sh +  √3/4s²

Substitute h = 1000/(√3s²) in the above equation to obtain,

A = 1000√3/s + √3/4s²

In order to get the minimum area differentiate A with respect to s and equate it to zero to get,

dA/ds = 0

⇒ √3/2s - 500√3/s² = 0

⇒ s = 10

Hence, in order to minimize the area the the value of s is obtained as 10.
