A tooth-whitening gel is to be tested for effectiveness. A group of 85 adults have volunteered to participate in the study. Of t

hese, 43 are to be given a gel that contains the tooth-whitening chemicals. The remaining 42 are to be given a similar-looking package of gel that does not contain the tooth-whitening chemicals. A standard method will be used to evaluate the whiteness of teeth for all participants. Then the results for the two groups will be compared. 1. After the treatment period, compare the whiteness of the 43 treated adults. 2. A placebo is not being used. 3. After the treatment period, compare the whiteness of the two groups. 4. Randomly select 85 adults to be given the treatment gel. 5. The remaining 42 adults receive the placebo gel. 6. Randomly select 43 adults to be given the treatment gel.

Answer:

(a) 3, 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the experiment, 43 are to be given a gel that contains the tooth-whitening chemicals while the remaining 42 are to be given a placebo. Therefore, a placebo is used.

The 43 that will receive the gel are to be selected randomly.

After the experiment, the whiteness of the two groups will be compared to see the effect of the gel.

Therefore for the experiment to be completely random,  3, 5, and 6 apply.

(b)

For the experiment to be double-blind, the researchers who will evaluate the whiteness and interact with the subjects, and the subjects would not know which subjects received either the whitening gel or the placebo.

At a gas station, suppose that 45% of the customers purchase premium grade gas. Assume that these customers decide independently
valkas [14]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The probability that at least one of the next three customers purchases premium gas is the complement of the probability that none of the next three customers purchase premium gas = 1 - (1-P(A))³ = 0.834

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a customer would purchase premium grade = 45 %

That is P(A) = 0.45 and

The probability that the customer would purchase another  grade = P(B) = 0.55

Therefore the probability of at least one of the next three customers purchase premium gas is

P(k=0) = (1 - P)ⁿ and the probability of at least one customer purchases premium gas is the compliment of the probability that the next three customers purchase another gas brand

that is (1 - P(A))×(1 - P(A))×(1 - P(A)) = P(B)×P(B)×P(B) = 0.55³  and the complement is 1 - 0.55³  = 0.834

Jan had $126. she spent 1/6 of her money on her makeup and 2/3 of her money on shoes. How Much does Jan have left?
Jobisdone [24]

She has 1/6 of her money left, which is $21. 

2/3=4/6, so 4/6 + 1/6=5/6, which means she has 1/6 left.  Divide $126 by 6 and you get $21.
