Concept explainers
a)
To find the type of the study.
a)
Answer to Problem 18E
This is an experimental study.
Explanation of Solution
First need to understand about the experimental study and observational study:
Experimental study: Assigning people or things to groups and applying some treatment to one group, while the other group does not receive the treatment.
Observation study: In an observational study, measure or survey members of a sample without trying to affect them.
This is an experimental study because the treatment is imposed on the subjects.
b)
To find the subjects.
b)
Answer to Problem 18E
An inactive dogs.
Explanation of Solution
The subjects studied were inactive dogs.
c)
To find the factors and number of levels.
c)
Answer to Problem 18E
The type of dog food with 2 levels.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, the factor is type of dog food. There are 2 levels. The low-calorie and standard.
d)
To find the number of treatments.
d)
Answer to Problem 18E
2
Explanation of Solution
In this study, there are 2 treatments.
e)
To find the response variable.
e)
Answer to Problem 18E
The response variable is weight of the dogs.
Explanation of Solution
In this study, the response variable is weight of the dogs.
f)
To identify the type of design.
f)
Answer to Problem 18E
Blocking.
Explanation of Solution
The experiment used a blocking by size and breed.
g)
To identify whether the study is blinded or double blinded.
g)
Answer to Problem 18E
The experiment is used blinded design.
Explanation of Solution
As per overall study, it looks like owner of the dog does not know about the food they are feeding to the dog. Therefore, the experiment is blinded.
h)
To explain the scope and conclusions.
h)
Explanation of Solution
There should be any prescribed feeding levels so that there could be some conclusion about whether or not the dog food helping the dogs to maintain weight of the dog.

- solve the question based on hw 1, 1.41arrow_forwardT1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|. (i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
