Researchers want to compare the effectiveness of an extract of St. John's Wort with placebo in outpatients with major depression. They recruited 200 adult outpatients diagnosed as having major depression and having a baseline Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) score of at least 20. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either St. John's Wort extrat, 900 milligrams per day (mg/day) for 4 weeks, increased to 1200 mg/day in the absence of an adequate response thereafter, or a placebo for 8 weeks. The response variable was the change on the HAM-D over the treatment period. After analysis of data, it was concluded that St. John's Wort was not effective for treatment of major depression. Required:
a. What type of experimental design this is?
b. What is the population that is being studied?
c. What is the response variable in this study?
d. What are the treatments?
e. Identify the experimental units.
f. What is the control group in this study?

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.
