1. A group of doctors published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the article they revealed the findings of a study to determine if there is a difference in survival rates for men who undergo surgery for localized prostate cancer and those who are treated with observation only. The researchers randomly assigned 731 men with localized prostate cancer to radical prostatectomy or observation. During the years of follow-up, 245 of 367 (66.8%) assigned to surgery survived for at least 5 years and 223 of 364 men (61.3%) assigned to observation survived for at least 5 years. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the true proportion of men like these that would survive for at least 5 years after receiving surgery and the proportion that would survive for at least 5 years when only being observed. Include all 4 steps of the inference procedure.

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

the answer is 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

b. 153 students do not participate in sports and seventy-five 12th graders were surveyed

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
