For each of those variables, what level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) was used to obtain data from these variables? 1 solutions Answer 402857 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-21 20:16:29 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I. What is the population? The set of all 50 year old adults. ------------------------------------------------------- II. What is the sample? The 100 people randomly selected (from the population) for this study ------------------------------------------------------- III. Is the study observational or experimental? Justify your answer. It's an observation because the researchers are simply looking at data and they are NOT manipulating the subjects in any way. They are also NOT splitting the subjects into two groups (the control and experimental group. ------------------------------------------------------- IV. What are the variables? The variables are cholesterol level and hostility level. ------------------------------------------------------- V. For each of those variables, what level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) was used to obtain data from these variables? Cholesterol Level: Ratio (since they can be ordered, the differences make sense, and there's a 0) Hostility Level: Ordinal (assuming you have something like "not hostile", "somewhat hostile" and "very hostile")

Please help, Thank You 1 solutions Answer 402716 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-21 00:29:04 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The idea is to start with the outer function first. Then replace the input with the inner function. a(x) = x^2-5 a(b(x)) = (b(x))^2-5 ... Replace ALL 'x' terms with b(x) a(b(x)) = (6x+1)^2-5 ... Replace b(x) on the right side with 6x+1 (since b(x) = 6x+1) I'll let you expand and simplify this. ------------------------------------------------------- Now we reverse what we just did b(x)=6x+1 b(a(x))=6(a(x))+1 b(a(x))=6(x^2-5)+1 I'll let you simplify.

Sequences-and-series/639363: Solve for the next two numbers in the following number sequence: 1728, 1000, 512, 216, _, _. 1 solutions Answer 402710 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-20 23:39:57 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each number is a perfect cube. Notice how 12^3 = 1728, 1000 = 10^3, 512 = 8^3, 216 = 6^3 So the form is n^3 where 'n' is some integer. But we're only focusing on positive even integers and we're counting down to the next even integer each time. Moreover, we're starting at 12. So 'n' becomes -2n+12 where n starts at n = 0. If you want to start at n = 1, then you have to add 2 to 12 to get -2n+14 So the sequence follows the form (-2n+14)^3 where n is a positive integer and n starts at n = 1 We can see that when n = 1, (-2n+14)^3 = (-2*1+14)^3 = 1728 When n = 2, (-2n+14)^3 = (-2*2+14)^3 = 1000 etc etc all the way up to n = 4, (-2n+14)^3 = (-2*4+14)^3 = 216 The next two terms are n = 5, (-2n+14)^3 = (-2*5+14)^3 = 64 and n = 6, (-2n+14)^3 = (-2*6+14)^3 = 8 ======================================================= Answer: So the updated sequence is 1728, 1000, 512, 216, _64_, _8_

Hint: Factor 2x^2+11x-6 You do this by multiplying 2 and -6 to get -12. Then you find two numbers that multiply to -12 and add to 11. These two numbers are 12 and -1 So 2x^2+11x-6 2x^2+12x-x-6 Now factor by grouping

Sequences-and-series/639183: Find a set of at least 5 data values that has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 6. 1 solutions Answer 402616 by jim_thompson5910(28476)   on 2012-08-20 17:05:18 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the set 20,20,20,20,20 That has a mean of 20, but a standard deviation of 0. Then increase one value to get 21, but decrease another value (to balance things out) to get 19. So we might have 19, 20, 20, 20, 21 Now find the standard deviation. It will be roughly 0.70710678 (use a calculator here). Repeat the last 3 steps to find another standard deviation. We can keep going and do this by trial and error, but there's a much easier way This way involves using the definition of sample standard deviation. sigma = sqrt(sum((x-mu)^2)/(n-1)) 6 = sqrt(sum((x-mu)^2)/(n-1)) 6^2 = sum((x-mu)^2)/(n-1) 36 = sum((x-mu)^2)/(n-1) 36 = sum((x-mu)^2)/(5-1) 36 = sum((x-mu)^2)/4 36*4 = sum((x-mu)^2) 144 = sum((x-mu)^2) sum((x-mu)^2) = 144 (x1-mu)^2+(x2-mu)^2+(x3-mu)^2+(x4-mu)^2+(x5-mu)^2 = 144 (x1-20)^2+(x2-20)^2+(x3-20)^2+(x4-20)^2+(x5-20)^2 = 144 (20-x-20)^2+(20-20)^2+(20-20)^2+(20-20)^2+(20+x-20)^2 = 144 (20-x-20)^2+(0)^2+(0)^2+(0)^2+(20+x-20)^2 = 144 (-x)^2+0+0+0+(x)^2 = 144 x^2 + x^2 = 144 2x^2 = 144 x^2 = 144/2 x^2 = 72 x = sqrt(72) x = 8.48528137423857 So the data set of 20,20,20,20,20 becomes 20-8.48528137423857,20,20,20,20+8.48528137423857 11.5147186257614,20,20,20,28.48528137423857 So the data set 11.5147186257614,20,20,20,28.48528137423857 has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of (roughly) 6 ------------------------------------------------ If you want to be exact, then the data set 20-sqrt(72), 20, 20, 20, 20+sqrt(72) has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of exactly 6

Hint: Graph both y = (2x-1)/(3x-2) (in green) and y = 1 (in blue) using a graphing calculator Then look for the interval(s) where the green curve is below the blue line.
