n a study to investigate whether vitamin C will prevent colds, 400 subjects are assigned at random to one of two groups. The experimental group takes a vitamin C tablet daily, while the control group takes a placebo. At the end of the experiment, the researchers calculate the difference between the percentage of subjects in the two groups who were free of colds. This difference is statistically significant (P=0.03) in favor of the vitamin C group.

Step-by-step explanation:

The aim of this question is to see if we can infer and conclude that vitamin C has a good impact in preventing colds based on the evidence provided.

Null hypothesis: Vitamin C has no effect on preventing colds.

Alternative hypothesis: Vitamin C has a strong effect on preventing colds.

Assuming, significance level = 0.05

Since the p-value for the difference is 0.03 which is less than 0.05.

Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected (which is there is no effect of vitamin C).

As a result, it can be concluded that Vitamin C has a major impact on the prevention of colds.

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
