Alice wants to prove to her parents that listening to music while she does her homework will help her get better grades. She dec

ides to ask 25 of her friends if they listen to music while they do their homework and what their grades are. She finds that her friends who have high grades also listen to music while they do their homework. She tells her parents that she has proven that listening to music while doing homework will cause her grades to improve. What mistake has Alice made?
A) She did not separate her friends into different groups, and she didn't apply a treatment.
B) She did not separate her friends into different groups, and she used a survey to collect data.

The answer would be A.

Explanation: First off, she did not separate her friends into different groups. Secondly, she only got information from the students who listen to music. She should've gotten information from the students who don't listen to music in order to compare her results. She needed to make the survey equal meaning that, she needed to survey the students who listen to music and the ones that don't.

If y is the circumcenter is angle STU find each measure
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW=\sqrt75units , YW=\sqrt27units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Y is the circumcenter of ΔSTU. we have to find the measures SV, SY, YW and YX.

As Circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and also The circumcenter is the point at which the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet.

Hence, VY, YW and YX are the perpendicular bisectors on the sides ST, TU and SU.

Given ST=18 units.

As VY is perpendicular bisector implies SV=9 units.

Also in triangle VTY

YT^{2}=VY^{2}+VT^{2}

⇒ 14^{2}=VY^{2}+9^{2}

⇒ VY^{2}=115

As vertices of triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter

⇒ SY=YT=UY=14 units

Hence, SY is 14 units

In ΔUWY, UY^{2}=YW^{2}+UW^{2}

⇒ 14^{2}=YW^2+11^{2}

⇒ YW^2=196-121=75 ⇒ YW=\sqrt75units

In ΔYXU, UY^{2}=YX^{2}+XU^{2}

⇒ 14^{2}=YX^2+13^{2}

⇒ YX^2=196-169=27 ⇒ YW=\sqrt27units

Hence, measures are SV=9 units., SY=14 units, YW=\sqrt75units , YW=\sqrt27units

A square rug covers 79 square feet of floor. What is the approximate length of one side of the rug? (Approximate to the nearest
Mice21 [21]
A = a^2.....where " a " is the length of one side
A = 79

79 = a^2...take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sqrt 79 = a
8.89 = a

so the length of one side is approximately 8.89 ft <==

Ethan enjoys buying books and going to the movies. He has income of $150 to spend on these two goods each month. The price of a
erica [24]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume less books and more movies and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

B.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume less of both goods.

C.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume more books and less movies, and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

D.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume more of both goods.

If he continuos to buy 4 books ans 6 movies the total amount is $170, that he does not have. He has to buy less books or go less to the movies.

A global efect of a certain good (X) price rise can be divided into 2 efects:

  • substitution effect: indicates a demand reduction of X, resulting from the price rise, making X less atractive to consumption
  • income effect: indicates a reduction of the demanded quantity of X resulting from the reduction of the acquisition power created by the rise of X price.

So, answer is A.

A member of a student team playing an interactive marketing game received the fol- lowing computer output when studying the rela
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

p_v = 2*P(t_{n-2} > |t_{calc}|)= 0.91

So on this case for the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v >\alpha so then we can conclude that the result is NOT significant. And we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

So on this case is not appropiate say that :"the more we spend on advertising this product, the fewer units we sell" since the slope for this case is not significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that we have the following linear model:

y= \beta_o +\beta_1 X

Where Y is the dependent variable and X the independent variable. \beta_0 represent the intercept and \beta_1 the slope.  

In order to estimate the coefficients \beta_0 ,\beta_1 we can use least squares procedure.  

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \beta_1 = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \beta_1 \neq 0

Or in other words we want to check is our slope is significant (X have an effect in the Y variable )

In order to conduct this test we are assuming the following conditions:

a) We have linear relationship between Y and X

b) We have the same probability distribution for the variable Y with the same deviation for each value of the independent variable

c) We assume that the Y values are independent and the distribution of Y is normal  

The significance level assumed on this case is \alpha=0.05

The standard error for the slope is given by this formula:

SE_{\beta_1}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_i -\hat y_i)^2}{n-2}}}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i -\bar X)^2}}

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by df=n-2 since we need to estimate the value for the slope and the intercept.  

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\hat \beta_1}{SE_{\beta_1}}

The p value on this case would be given by:

p_v = 2*P(t_{n-2} > |t_{calc}|)= 0.91

So on this case for the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v >\alpha so then we can conclude that the result is NOT significant. And we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

So on this case is not appropiate say that :"the more we spend on advertising this product, the fewer units we sell" since the slope for this case is not significant.

The formula to determine energy is uppercase E = one-half m v squared. What is the formula solved for v?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2.  Let's get rid of the 2 first.  The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get

2E=mv^2

Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division.  So we divide both sides by m to get

\frac{2E}{m}=v^2

The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally

\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }=v
