Many unversities and colleges have instituted supplemental instruction (SI) programs, in which student facilitator meets regularly with a small group of students enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery. Suppose that students in a large statistics course are randomly divided into a control group group that will not participate in SI and a treatment group that will participate. At the end of the term each student’s total score in the course is determined.
A) Are the scores from the SI group a sample from an existing population? If so, what is it? If not, what is the relevant conceptual population?
B) What do you think is the advantage of randomly dividing the students into the two groups rather than letting each student choose which group to join?
C) Why didn’t the investigators put all students in the treatment group?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION PROGRAMS

- Students in a large statistics course are randomly divided into a control group and an experimental/treatment group. At the end of the term, each student's score in the course is examined

(A) The scores from the SI (Experimental) group are not a sample from an existing population. They are data from a group in a sample, hence the sample here is the number of students tested in this experiment and that equates to all the students in the large Statistics course/class.

- The relevant conceptual population would be all students in the university, since the general purpose or statement of this experiment is to see the effect of SI programs implemented in universities.

(B) The advantage of the random (unintentional) division of the students into control and experimental groups is that results or scores from the groups will be unbiased.

If you let each student choose a group, there is a high probability that the serious students will all join the SI group while the unserious ones will choose to be in the control group.

There is also a high probability that brilliant/pompous students will ignore the supplemental instruction program while students with low and medium intelligence quotient (IQ) will embrace it.

It is also possible that students will join whatever group their friends join.

These and other biases will defeat the aim of the experiment.

(C) The investigators didn't put all students in the sample into the experimental group because the difference or impact of the SI program needs to be known; whether positive or negative. Dividing them into the 2 groups lets the investigators know if there is a difference in the scores of students in the two groups.

2sin2x+sinx=1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{\pi}{6}, \dfrac{5\pi}{6}, \dfrac{3\pi}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation as:

[tex]2sin^2x+sinx=1\\OR\\2sin^2x+sinx-1=0[/tex]

Let us put [tex]sinx=y[/tex] for simplicity of the equation:

Now, the equation becomes:

[tex]2y^2+y-1=0[/tex]

Now, let us try to solve the quadratic equation:

[tex]\Rightarrow 2y^2+2y-y-1=0\\\Rightarrow 2y(y+1)-1(y+1)=0\\\Rightarrow (2y-1)(y+1)=0\\\Rightarrow 2y-1 = 0, y+1 = 0\\\Rightarrow y = \dfrac{1}{2}, y = -1[/tex]

So, the solution to the given trigonometric quadratic equation is:

[tex]sinx = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

and

[tex]sinx=-1[/tex]

Let us try to find the values of [tex]x[/tex] in the interval [tex][0, 2\pi)[/tex].

[tex]sin\theta[/tex] can have a value equal to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in 1st and 2nd quadrant.

So, [tex]x[/tex] can be

[tex]30^\circ, 150^\circ\\OR\\\dfrac{\pi}{6}, \dfrac{5\pi}{6}[/tex]

For [tex]sinx=-1[/tex],

[tex]x = 270^\circ\ or\ \dfrac{3 \pi}{2}[/tex]

So, the answer is:

[tex]\dfrac{\pi}{6}, \dfrac{5\pi}{6}, \dfrac{3\pi}{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

5y + 2 + 6 + 2y

= 5y + 2(y + 3) + 2 This is the distributive property of multiplication w.r.t. addition

= 6y − y + 2y + 10 − 4 + 2

The distributive property of multiplication with respect to addition  is the one  which separates each term by using multiplication and then addition.

So we see that 2 is multiplied with y and 3 and then added with the like terms. If there was a minus sign the property would be distributive over subtraction.

Find an equation for a tangent plane z=e-x2-y2 at the point (0,0,1).

Answers

Answer: equation of the tangent plane is z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

z = e^(-x²-y²) at point (0,0,1)

now let z = f(x,y)

Δf(x,y) = [ fx, fy ]

= (-2xe^(-x²-y²)), (-2ye^(-x²-y²))

now

Δf (0,0) = [ 0, 0 ] = [ a, b ]

equation of the tangent plane therefore will be

z - z₀ = a(x-x₀) + b(y-y₀)

z - 1 = 0(x-0) + 0(y-0)

z - 1 = 0 + 0

z = 1

Therefore equation of the tangent plane is z = 1

Briyana has $150, and she needs to save at least $560 for a spring break trip. If she can save $45 per week, how long will it take her to save enough money? Let w= weeks saving money. Wrote an inequality to describe the situation.

Answers

Answer:

9.1 or 10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to create an equation: 150 + 45w = 560

You need to get the w by itself. To do this we need to take 150 from both sides: 150 (-150) + 45w = 560 (-150)

45w = 410

Now we have to divide both sides by 45:

w = 9.1

So it took Briyana just over 9 weeks to save $560 for spring break

I hope this helps  

Let's work this out using the inequality it suggests.

We can use the form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], but have the equals sign substitute out for whatever sign we need.

When you need to buy something, do you need to have more, less, or the same amount of money to buy something?

You need to have at least the same amount of money.

Which means that we'll be using the ≥ sign.

[tex]y\geq mw+b[/tex]

Now let's substitute in some values we know.

She has 150 to start off with, think of this as the y-intercept of the graph.

What variable represents the y-intercept?

You should've said b.

[tex]y\geq mw+150[/tex]

Now how much is she saving her week? $45.

Since this is how much she's saving every week, this represents the slope.

[tex]y\geq 45w+150[/tex]

Now, we can solve this plugging in 560 for [tex]y[/tex], which is how much money she needs.

[tex]560\geq 45x+150[/tex]

[tex]410\geq 45w[/tex]

[tex]\frac{82}{9}\geq w[/tex]

[tex]\frac{82}{9}[/tex] is 9.111 (repeating), but we need to round up to the nearest whole number because she probably doesn't deposit money constantly during the week, and rather all at once.

Which means that she needs to save money for 10 weeks to have enough money for the spring break trip.

Hope this helps.

if an area can be washed at a rate of 4,900 cm2/ minute, how many square inches can be washed per hour?

Answers

Answer : 4.5 × 10⁴ square inches can be washed per hour.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that an area can be washed at a rate of 4,900 cm²/min. Now we have to determine the square inches can be washed per hour.

Given conversions are:

1 cm = 0.39 in    and    1 hr = 60 min

As, 1 cm² = (0.39)² in²    and    1 min = 1/60 hr

So, [tex]1cm^2/min=(0.39)^2\times 60in^2/hr[/tex]

[tex]1cm^2/min=9.126in^2/hr[/tex]

Now we have to determine the square inches can be washed per hour.

As, [tex]1cm^2/min=9.126in^2/hr[/tex]

So, [tex]4900cm^2/min=\frac{4900cm^2/min}{1cm^2/min}\times 9.126in^2/hr=44717.4in^2/hr=4.5\times 10^4in^2/hr[/tex]

Therefore, 4.5 × 10⁴ square inches can be washed per hour.
