A program that was intended to cure a person’s fear of spiders was offered at a local zoo. Volunteers with a fear of spiders par

ticipated in the program, which included holding a spider for 15 minutes. One month after they completed the program, the participants were contacted and surveyed about the program. Over 90 percent of the participants claimed they were cured of their fear of spiders. Based on the description of the program, which of the following statements is true?
(A) Because over 90% of the participants claimed to be cured, the results prove that holding a spider will cure a person's fear of spiders
(B) Because over 90% of the participants claimed to be cured, the results can be generalized to the population of all people who have a fear of spiders.
(C)Because the participants were volunteers, the study is a census of all people in the local area who have a fear of spiders. confounding variable and the results can be generalized to the population of all people who have a a fear of spider
(D)Because the participants were self-selected, a person's desire to be cured could be a confounding variable.
(E) Because participants held a spider for 15 minutes, the study is an experiment fear of spiders.

Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

The volunteers held spider for 15 minutes

90% of participants confessed that they were cured from the fear of spider

The available statement describes the 90% of the participants claimed they were cured of their fear of spiders. The statement also states that the participants held spider for 15 minutes only. These two parameters are only combined in one answer, option E which captures both. Therefore, we can rightfully conclude that the results can be generalized to the population of all people who have a fear of spiders.

Find the mean, median and mode of the weights of the people shown. 105kg 53kg 76kg 91kg 120kg 61kg 55kg 98kg 61kg
Yuliya22 [10]
First, you need to put them in order
53kg, 55kg, 61kg, 61kg, 76kg, 91kg, 98kg, 105kg, 120kg

For mean, you add them all up and divide by the amount of numbers (9)
720/9 = 80

For median, you find the middle number (76kg)

For mode, you find the number that appears the most (61kg)

Mean: 80
Median: 76
Mode: 61

Find the eccentricity, b. identify the conic, c. give an equation of the directrix, and d. sketch the conic.
densk [106]

Answer:

a) 10/3  

b) hyperbola

c) x = ± 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A conic section with a focus at the origin, a directrix of x = ±p where p is a positive real number and positive eccentricity (e) has a polar equation:

r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

Given the conic equation: r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}

We have to make it to be in the form r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}:

r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}\\\\multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ \frac{1}{3} \\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{(3-10cos\theta)*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{3*\frac{1}{3}-10cos\theta*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{4}{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta } \\\\r=\frac{\frac{10}{3}(\frac{6}{5} ) }{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta }

Comparing with  r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

e = 10/3 = 3.3333, p = 6/5

b) since the eccentricity = 3.33 > 1, it is a hyperbola

c) The equation of the directrix is x = ±p = ± 6/5

Jack has a 8-ft long board. he cut off 1/6 of it how long is the remaining piece in feet and inches
mars1129 [50]
First, let's find out the equivalent amount of one-sixth of the total length of 8 ft.

Length of cut = 8(1/6) = 4/3 ft

So, the remaining length would be:
Remaining length = 8 ft - 4/3 ft = 20/3 ft or that's 6 and 2/3 ft.

Since there are 12 inches in 1 ft:
2/3 ft * 12 in/ft = 8 inches

Thus, the remaining length is 6 ft and 8 inches.

The Metro theater has 20 rows of seats with 18 seats in each row Tickets cost $5 The theaters income in dollars if all seats are
Olin [163]
Answer: $1800

The theater income will be the total of audience multiplied by the ticket cost.  To answer this question, you need to determine the total audience count. Assuming all the seats are occupied then:
Total audience= row of seats x seats/ row = 20x18 people = 360 people

After that the income would be:
Income = audience x ticket cost
Income= 360 people x $5 / people= $1800
