A veterinarian knows that the supplement glucosamine is beneficial for dogs’ joints. He wants to determine if a supplement with both glucosamine and chondroitin would be more beneficial than glucosamine alone for dogs’ joint health. The veterinarian asks the owners of dogs with known joint issues if they would be willing to have their dog participate in his study, and 32 owners agree to the study. Sixteen dogs are randomly assigned to the glucosamine group and the remaining 16 are assigned to the glucosamine with chondroitin group. After 6 months, the dogs’ joint health is measured for each treatment and compared. The results of the study were inconclusive and the veterinarian decides to do the experiment again. He gets 24 volunteers and decides that he needs to use a randomized block design.

Which variable would not be an appropriate variable for blocking?

age
size
color of coat
breed

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Colour of coat

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the veterinarian wants to determine if a supplement with both glucosamine and chondroitin would be more beneficial than glucosamine alone for dogs’ joint health.

In randomized block design, blocking is the arrangement of experimental units in groups known as blocks which are similar to one another.

Looking at the options given, by blocking on size, age or dog breed, the source of variability which led to the inconclusiveness initially would be controlled which then leads to a greater accuracy in result. Since there can be big, medium and small size of dog: there can be older or younger dogs: there can be different type of dog breeds as well. All these can likely affect the results of the experiment.

Whereas, blocking on colour of coat is not an appropriate variable because it has no effect on the experiment.

Which of these angles are the alternate interior angles theorem?

ECA = BAD
CAE=BAD
ECA=BDA
ECA=DBA

Answers

Answer:

C. ECA = BDA

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle is said to be produced whenever two or more lines meet at a point. An interior angle is an angle form within two lines meeting at a point. Then, alternate interior angles are internal angles that are equal due to alternate theorem. These angles should have equal measures.

From the given question, the alternate interior angles by the theorem is;

ECA = BDA

By the alternate interior angle theorem, the alternate interior angles are ECA and BDA. This implies that the measure of <ECA should be equal to the measure of <BDA.

The height of the water in an above ground pool is 36 inches. The pool needs to be drained. As the water drains, the height of the water changes at a rate of -1/2 inch per minute. Write and solve and equation to find out how many minutes it will take to drain the pool.

Answers

Answer:

It would take x = 72 minutes to drain the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

where m is the rate of change or slope and b is the y-intercept

Let 'y' be the height of the water poolLet 'x' be the time in the minute of the water pool

As the height of the water of the pool is 36 inches, meaning the basic condition of the pool states that the ground pool is 36 inches.

Thus,

y-intercept = b = 36

As the water drains, the height of the water changes at a rate of -1/2 inch per minute.

Thus, the rate of change or slope = m = -1/2

Thus, using the equation

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

substituting m = -1/2 and b = 36

[tex]y\:=\:-\frac{1}{2}x+36[/tex]

We know that when the pool drains, the height of water reduces to zero.

Thus, substituting y = 0 in the equation

[tex]0=-\frac{1}{2}x+36[/tex]

switching sides

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x+36=0[/tex]

subtract 36 from both sides

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x+36-36=0-36[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x=-36[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by -2

[tex]\left(-\frac{1}{2}x\right)\left(-2\right)=\left(-36\right)\left(-2\right)[/tex]

[tex]x=72[/tex]

Therefore, it would take x = 72 minutes to drain the pool.

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 35 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast (in ft/min) is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 15 ft high? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The height of the pile is increasing at a rate of 1.78 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, we have the rate at which the volume is increasing

Mathematically, the volume of a cone can be calculated by the formula;

1/3 * π * r^2 * h

but here, we are dealing with base diameter which is d

and r is d/2

So we have the formula as;

1/3 * π * (d/2)^2 * h

since h is same as d for this particular cone, we can replace d with h so that we now have;

1/3 * π * h^3/4

= πh^3/12

what we have in the question is dv/dt

what we want to calculate is dh/dt

Mathematically;

dh/dt = dh/dv * dv/dt

dh/dv is 1/dv/dh

dv/dh = πh^2/36 where h = 15

dv/dh = 225 π/36

dh/dv is now;

36/225π

So, finally;

dh/dt = 36/225 π * 35

dh/dt = 1.78 ft/min

Michael has credit card debt of $75,000 that has an 12% APR, compounded monthly. The minimum payment only the requires him to pay the interest on his debt. He receives an offer for a credit with an APR of 4% compounded monthly. If he rolls over his debt onto his card and makes the same monthly payment as before, how long will it take him to pay off his credit card debt?

Answers

Answer: 122 months.

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to calculate the minimum monthly payment using the debt balance of $75,000 and 12% APR compounded monthly,which = $75,000 × 12% / 12 = $750 . The second step is to use the same $750 as payment, and using a discount rate of 4%/12, calculate the number of months required to pay off the present value (PV) of $75,000 , which = 122 months.

Richard's cumulative GPA for 3 semesters_ was 2.0 for 42 credits. His fourth semester GPA was 4.0 for 14 course units. What is Richard's cumulative GPA for all 4 semesters

Answers

Answer:

Richard's cumulative GPA = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard's cumulative GPA for 3 semesters was 2.0 for 42 credits.

Average = 2

Total credits = 42

Average = sum of terms/total no of terms

2 = sum of terms/42

sum of terms = 84 ....(1)

His fourth semester GPA was 4.0 for 14 course units

Average = 4

Total credits = 14

sum of terms = 56 .....(2)

Average for 4 semesters,

[tex]A=\dfrac{84+56}{42+14}\\\\A=2.5[/tex]

Hence, Richard's cumulative GPA for all 4 semesters is 2.5.

Answers

Answer:

  (4x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial is ...

  (a +b)² = a² +2ab +b²

We assume that the given trinomial is a perfect square, so we can find the terms of the squared binomial by looking at the square roots of the first and last terms:

  √(16x²) = 4x

  √25 = 5

So, our first choice of side length for the square is ...

  s = (4x +5) . . . . . side length of the square

__

Using the above identity, we can verify that the square of this gives the right area:

  A = s² = (4x +5)² = (4x)² +2(4x)(5) +5²

  A = 16x² +40x +25 . . . . . . as required

        Function for the graph of the parabola given in the picture attached will be Option (H). f(x) = x² - 6x

Equation of a parabola in vertex form:  Equation of a parabola in vertex form is given by,

          y = a(x - h)² + k

          Here, (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola

Given in the graph,

 Vertex of the parabola → (3, -9)  Parabola passes through the origin (0, 0).

Equation of the graph with vertex (3, -9) will be,

y = a(x - 3)² - 9

Since, the parabola passes through (0, 0),

0 = a(0 - 3)² - 9

0 = 9a - 9

a = 1

Substitute the value of 'a' in the equation of the parabola,

y = 1.(x - 3)² - 9

y = x² - 6x + 9 - 9

y = x² - 6x

      Hence, the function representing the graph will be f(x) = x² - 6x

A manager purchased a total of 25 short sleeved and long sleeved shirts. Each short sleeved shirt costs $15 and each long sleeved shirt
costs $20. If the manager spent a total of $425, how many short sleeved shirts did the manager buy?

Answers

ANSWER: 15 short sleeved shirts


Steps:

Use system of equations where x is short sleeved and y is long sleeved.

x+y=25
15x+20y=425

Make the coefficient of x the same in both equations.

Solve by elimination

15x+15y=375
-15x+20y=425
=-5y=-50

Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x
= y=10
This is the number of long sleeved shirts the manager bought.

Substitute y into the second equation to find the number of short sleeved shorts the manager bought.

15x+20(10)=425
= 15x+200=425
= 15x=225
= x=15

So the final answer is that the manager bought a total of 15 short sleeved shirts and 10 long sleeved shirts.
