A physical therapist conducts a study examining the effect of implementing a group exercise program at an assisted living facility for elderly adults. One group of residents is selected to participate in the program, and a second group serves as a control. After 6 weeks, the researcher records a combined score measuring balance and strength for each individual. The data are as follows:

Control Exercise n = 10 n = 15 M = 12 M = 15.5 SS = 120.5 SS = 190.0

a. Does the exercise program have a significant effect? Use an alpha level of .05, two tails.
b. Compute Cohen�s d to measure the size of the treatment effect.

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60

If the ratio of sum of the first m and n terms of an ap is m2 : n2 , show that the ratio of its mth and nth terms is (2m − 1) : (2n − 1).

The function models the number of accidents
