Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries can reduce and even reverse these age-related declines, at least in laboratory rats (Joseph et al., 1999). Based on these results, one might theorize that the same antioxidants might also benefit elderly humans. Suppose a researcher is interested in testing this theory. The researcher obtains a sample of adults who are older than 65, and gives each participant a daily dose of a blueberry supplement that is very high in antioxidants. After taking the supplement for 6 months, the participants are given a standardized cognitive skills test and produce a mean score of . For the general population of elderly adults, scores on the test average μ and form a normal distribution with σ=9.

Answer:

a

Yes the researcher can  conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on cognitive skill

b

[tex]d =  0.5778 [/tex]

c

The result of this hypothesis test shows that there is sufficient evidence to  that the supplement had significant effect.The measure of effect size is  large due to the large value of Cohen's d (0.5778 > 0.30 )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n=16

    The sample mean is  [tex]M  =  50.2[/tex]

    The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma  = 9[/tex]

    The  population mean is  [tex]\mu =  45[/tex]

     The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha =  0.05[/tex]

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  \mu =45[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a  \mu \ne 45[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

          [tex]z =  \frac{M -  \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>       [tex]z =  \frac{50.2 - 45}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{16} } }[/tex]

=>       [tex]z =  2.31 [/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

     [tex]p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  z )[/tex]

      [tex]p-value  =  2 *  P(Z >  2.31 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

      [tex]P(Z >  2.31 ) = 0.010444[/tex]

=>     [tex]p-value  =  2 *  0.010444 [/tex]

=>     [tex]p-value  =  0.021 [/tex]

From the obtained values we see that [tex]p-value <  0.05[/tex]

 Decision Rule

 Reject the null hypothesis

Conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the supplement has a significant effect on the cognitive skill of elderly adults

Generally the Cohen's d for this study is mathematically represented as

    [tex]d =  \frac{M  -  \mu}{\sigma }[/tex]

=>  [tex]d =  \frac{50.2 -45}{9 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]d =  0.5778 [/tex]

Which equation can be used to find T the number of tickets each class needs to sell so that the total amount raised is the same for both classes

Answers

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know how much each class is selling tickets for and how much they've already raised then you take those two values and set them equal to each other.

2.5t + 350 = 3t + 225

To actually find the number of tickets each class would have to sell you would just solve for t.

1. (02.01 MC) Celine has a bottle that contains 20% milk and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. Part A: Write an equation using one variable that can be used to find the total number of liters of milk and water in the bottle. Define the variable used in the equation. (5 points) Part B: How many liters of milk are present in the bottle? Show your work. (5 points) (10 points)

Answers

Answer:

A. Total number of liters = 1.25 liters

B. Milk = 0.25 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total number of liters ( milk + water )

Milk = 20% of x

= 0.2x

Water = 1 liter

Total number of liters = milk + water

x = 0.2x + 1

x - 0.2x = 1

0.8x = 1

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 1 / 0.8

= 1.25

x = 1.25 liters

Total number of liters = 1.25 liters

B.

Liters of milk in the bottle = Total number of liters - liters of water

= 1.25 liters - 1 liter

= 0.25 liter

Milk = 0.25 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 52 is about 7.211.

Since there is a negative sign in front of the square root, then it means that the answer is about -7.211.

On the number line you have a little bit over -7.3, a little less than -7.3 and a little more than -7.2. The closest answer would be the point that is a little more than -7.2.

If u place a 13 foot ladder against a 12 foot building,how many feet will the Ladder be from the building

Answers

Answer:

5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

When you place the 13 foot ladder, the ladder, floor, and wall forms a right triangle and the ladder will become the hypotenuse.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem. Let x be the distance from the building.

x^2 +12^2 = 13^2

x^2 + 144 = 169

x^2 = 169 - 144

x^2 = 25

Take the square root of 25 and you get 5

x = 5

Tom bought 2 pounds bananas for $3. How much would it cost for 5 pounds of bananas?

Answers

I think it is $7.50 because you divide 3/2 to find how much 1 pound is which is 1.50 and you want to find how much 5 pounds are so you multiply 1.50 x 5 which is $7.50

Answer:

It would be $7.50.

Step-by-step explanation: 2 pounds of bananas is $3, so we know that 4 pounds of bananas would be $6. Now, 1 pound of bananas would be $1.50! Because 1 pound is half of 2 pounds. Knowing this, one pound of bananas would be $1.50, beucuase its half.

Sal made 8 ft of sausage links on Friday morning. He used 4 ft for dinner service on Friday night. On Saturday morning, he made another 8 ft of sausage links and used 12 ft for dinner service Saturday night. What is the net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night?

Answers

Answer:

Net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night = 8 - 0 = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of  sausage links made on Friday morning = 8 ft

Amount of  sausage links used on Friday night = 4 ft

Amount of  sausage links remaining = 8 - 4 = 4ft           (i)

Amount of  sausage links made on Saturday morning = 8 ft         (ii)

So,

Total amount of  sausage links = 8 + 4 = 12 ft   (from (i) and (ii) )

Amount of  sausage links used on Saturday night = 12 ft

Amount of sausage links remaining = 12 - 12 = 0 ft

Net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night = 8 - 0 = 8 ft
