Dr. Smith is interested in the relationship between nicotine and hand steadiness. Two groups participated in the experiment. One group smoked 5 cigarettes in an hour, while another group read during the same hour. Participants are then tested on the hand steadiness apparatus (yielding a score with the number of errors made). What is the independent variable

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Exposure to nicotine is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is a factor that remains unchanged (by other factors in the experiment) throughout the course of an experiment. It can however be manipulated by the researcher. A dependent variable, on the other hand, is the factor being measured that relies on the independent variable. In the case above, exposure to 1 hr of nicotine intake forms the independent variable while the levels of hand steadiness, which will be measured, form the dependent variable.

The proportion of brown M&M's in a milk chocolate packet is approximately 14% (Madison, 2013). Suppose a package of M&M's typically contains 52 M&M's

Answers

Answer:

7 brown M&Ms.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is not complete, but I will assume that the final question is how many brown M&Ms will be in this package.

0.14 × 52 is our equation.

The answer is 7.28. We cannot have .28 of a brown M&M in a package (unless you count the broken ones) so there will be, on average, 7 brown M&Ms in a package.

The perimeter of the square is 16√5 units.

We have,

The concept used here is straightforward: to find the perimeter of a square, you sum the lengths of all four sides because all sides of a square are equal in length.

In this case, the side length is given as 4√5, so you multiply it by 4 to calculate the total perimeter.

To find the perimeter (P) of a square with a side length of 4√5 units, you simply add up all four sides of the square, as all sides of a square are equal in length.

So,

P = 4 * side length

P = 4 * 4√5

P = 16√5 units

Thus,

The perimeter of the square is 16√5 units.

A​ single, six-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling an even number or a number less than 6 .

Answers

Answer:

P=1

Step-by-step explanation:

P(even or less than 6) = P(even)+P(less than 6) -P(even ∩ less than 6)

P(even)=3/6 (numbers 2,4, and 6)

P(less than 6) =5/6 (numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5)

P(even ∩ less than 6)=2/6 (numbers 2 and 4)

(3/6)+(5/6) -(2/6) = (3+5-2)/6 = 6/6=1

If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you $41. If not, you pay me $11. (Aces are considered the highest card in the deck). If you played this game 877 times how much would you expect to win or lose?

Answers

There are 12 cards with a value ≤ 3 (3 between 1, 2, and 3, and multiply by 4 to count each suit). So the probability of drawing one of these cards and thus winning the game is 12/52 = 3/13.

The expected winnings for playing this game once are

3/13 × ($41) + 10/13 × (-$11) = $1

so after playing 877 times, you can expect to win a total of $877.

The half-life of a newly discovered radioactive element is 30 seconds. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long will it take for a sample of 9 grams to decay to 0.72 grams

Answers

Answer:

It will take about 109.3 seconds for nine grams of the element to decay to 0.72 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a half-life function to model our function.

A half-life function has the form:

[tex]\displaystyle A=A_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/d}[/tex]

Where A₀ is the initial amount, t is the time that has passes (in this case seconds), d is the half-life, and A is the amount after t seconds.

Since the half-life of the element is 30 seconds, d = 30. Our initial sample has nine grams, so A₀ is 9. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle A=9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}[/tex]

We want to find the time it will take for the element to decay to 0.72 grams. So, we can let A = 0.72 and solve for t:

[tex]\displaystyle 0.72=9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9:

[tex]\displaystyle 0.08=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln(0.08)=\ln\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t/30}\right)[/tex]

By logarithm properties:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln(0.08)=\frac{t}{30}\ln(0.5)[/tex]

Solve for t:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{30\ln(0.08)}{\ln(0.5)}\approx109.3\text{ seconds}[/tex]

So, it will take about 109.3 seconds for nine grams of the element to decay to 0.72 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the number of goats is G, then the number of chickens is 40 - G as there are 40 heads and each chicken and each goat has one head.

The number of feet is 130

So 2(40 - G) + 4G = 130

So 80 - 2G + 4G = 130

2G = 50

G = 25

aulo uses an instrument called a densitometer to check that he has the correct ink colour.

For this print job the acceptable range for the reading on the densitometer is 1.8 ± 10%.

What is the acceptable range for the densitometer reading?

Answers

Answer:

The range is from 1.62 to 1.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve for the percentage of the particular value if the range of the answer should be +/- 10% of the particular value.

The value given is 1.8, we thus want to find 10% of that: 1.8 * 10/100 = 0.18

Then, add this value to the original value of 1.8: 1.8+0.18 = 1.98

Furthermore, subtract .18 from from the original value of 1.8: 1.8-0.18 = 1.62

The range will be between these two numbers, so the range is from 1.62 to 1.98.

If A = {x, y, z} then the number of non-empty subsets of A is ________.

a) 8 b) 5 c) 6 d) 7​

Answers

Answer:

(d) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of subsets that can be derived from a set with n elements is given by;

2ⁿ

Out of these subsets, there is one empty set. Therefore, the total number of non-empty subsets is given by;

2ⁿ - 1

Given:

A = {x, y, z}

Set A has 3 elements. This means that n = 3

Therefore, the total number of subsets that can be derived from set A is

2ⁿ = 2³ = 8

One of these 8 subsets is an empty set, therefore, the total number of non-empty subsets of A is;

2ⁿ - 1 = 2³ - 1

8 - 1 = 7

This can be checked by writing all the possible subsets of A as follows;

{x}

{y}

{z}

{x, y}

{y, z}

{x, z}

{x, y, z}

Removing the empty set ∅, the non-empty subsets of A are;
