If we put a cool object into a preheated oven, newton's law of heating tells us that the difference between the temperature of the oven and the temperature of the object decreases exponentially with time. the percentage rate of decrease depends on the material that is being heated. suppose a potato initially has a temperature of 75 degrees and the oven is preheated to 375 degrees. use the formula
d = 300 � 0.98t,
where d is the temperature difference between the oven and the potato, t is the time in minutes the potato has been in the oven, and all temperatures are measured in degrees fahrenheit.
what is the temperature of the potato after 20 minutes? (round your answer to the nearest degree.)
- i'm slightly confused by this problem because when i put d=300 times 0.98^20 it gives me 200 and it says this answer is wrong. what am i doing wrong is 20 not what i plug in for t?

Aresearch study is studying the effects of a new drug for osteoporosis alzheimer's disease (ad) for women above the age of 65 years. a group of individuals with osteoporosis is randomized into two groups. one group is treated conventionally, and the second group is treated with the new medication. assessments are made at 3, 6, 12, 36, and 48 months. the conventionally treated group is assessed for ad using a serum blood test, and the treatment group is assessed for ad using a pet radiotracer that binds to beta-amyloid plaques. in comparing these 2 trial arms, the authors of the study may encounter which type of bias? a. selection bias on the risk of developing b. measurement bias c. confounding bias d. recall bias e. lead-time bias
