You are designing an experiment using human subjects. The study will include 30 participants. Of these, 16 will be placed in the experimental group and the remaining 14 will be placed in the control group. In how many ways can you assign participants to the two groups?

The participants can be assigned in 224 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you are designing an experiment using human subjects, and the study will include 30 participants, of which 16 will be placed in the experimental group and the remaining 14 will be placed in the control group, to determine in how many ways can you assign participants to the two groups the following calculation must be performed:

16 x 14 = X

224 = X

Therefore, the participants can be assigned in 224 different ways.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
