Twenty middle-aged men with glucose readings between 90 milligrams per deciliter and 120 milligrams per deciliter of blood were selected randomly from the population of similar male patients at a large local hospital. Ten of the 20 men were assigned randomly to group A and received a placebo. The other 10 men were assigned to group B and received a new glucose drug. After two months, posttreatment glucose readings were taken for all 20 men and were compared with pretreatment readings. The reduction in glucose level (Pretreatment reading − Posttreatment reading) for each man in the study is shown here. Group A (placebo) reduction (in milligrams per deciliter): 12, 8, 17, 7, 20, 2, 5, 9, 12, 6

Group B (glucose drug) reduction (in milligrams per deciliter): 29, 31, 13, 19, 21, 5, 24, 12, 8, 21

Part A: Do the data provide convincing evidence, at the α = 0.02 level, that the glucose drug is effective in producing a reduction in mean glucose level? (6 points)

Part B: Create and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the placebo and the new drug. (4 points)

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200

if your equation is in the form ax2 + bx + c, you can find the maximum by using the equation:

max = c - (b2 / 4a).

the first step is to determine whether your equation gives a maximum or minimum.

-x2 + 4x - 2.     thats an example hope it

we are given expression: and .

in order to find it's greatest common factor, let us break it into smaller parts.

let us find greatest common factor of 54 and 27 first.

54 = 27 × 2

27 = 27 × 1

now, let us find the greatest common factor of m and m^3.

now, let us find the greatest common factor of n^4 and n^2.

therefore, following expressions are part of the greatest common factor of 54mn^4 and 27m^3n^2.
