Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
What are examples of a responding variable in a lab investigation?
It's what changes when you alter the manipulated variable. Examples: In an experiment testing how tall anplant grows in different amounts of sunlight - the manipulated variable is the sunlight, the responding variable is the height of the plant. In an experiment testing how much carbon dioxide produced when different amounts of baking soda react to vinegar - the manip. variable is the baking soda amount, the resp. variable is the carbon dioxide. In an experiment testing how different vitamins affect a person - the manip. variable is the vitamin, the resp. variable is the effect on the person.
What is the difference between individual differences variables and manipulated variables?
An individual difference variable are variables that occur naturally and that a researcher cannot assign a participant to. These include gender, age, height, etc. A manipulated variable a researcher can assign a person to such as a placebo group vs the actual medicine.
What does peak height mean?
Peak height refers to the tallest recorded measure a person will be. After you grow in height with age, you will eventually stop. However, as aging continues and our bones and muscle weaken, we begin to lose height. So the peak height refers to the tallest a person will grow to become, regardless of how much height they end up losing later on in life.
If 50 people are chosen at random what is the probability that at least two of them have their birthday on the same day?
There being 365 days in a year and 50 being less than 365 therefore 2 even far less than that the chances are virtually 0. ______________________ Assume that all 366 days (including leap day) are equally likely to be a person's birthday. The probability that none of them share a birthday is 1*P(second person selected doesn't share a birthday with first person selected)*P(third person selected doesn't share a birthday with first or second person selected)*...*P(fiftieth person selected doesn't share a birthday with the first, second, third,...,forty-ninth person selected). P(second person selected doesn't share a birthday with first person selected) = 365/366 P(third person selected doesn't share a birthday with first or second person selected)=364/366 . . . P(fiftieth person selected doesn't share a birthday with the first, second, third,...,forty-ninth person selected)=317/366 P(none share a birthday)=(365/366)*(364/366)*...*(317/366), which is approximately .0299. P(at least two share a birthday) = 1-(365/366)*(364/366)*...*(317/366)=1-.0299=.9701 = 97.01%.
Is your birthday a variable?
No, your birthday is fixed. But a person's birthday is a variable.
What is the definition for ordered variable?
Ordered Variable is one where you can put the data into order, bt not give it an actual number. The height of a person compared to other's height is an ordered variable.
What is the difference between dependent asnd independent variables?
The independent variable is the one that the person doing the experiment changes themself. The dependant variable is the one that is recorded as results. For example, if investigating the effect of water on the rate of photosynthesis, you would change the amount of water and record how the rate of photosynthesis changes. Therefore, the amount of water is the independent variable and the rate of photosynthesis is the dependant variable.
Is blood pressure a discrete variable?
No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.
What is more dangerous a person driving or a person with a gun?
It would be entirely dependant on the person.
The blank variable is the part of the experiment that is affected by the independent variable?
The independent variable is the part of the experiment that is being tested or the part that is changed by the person doing the experiment. The dependent variable is the part of the experiment that is affected by the independent variable.
In an experiment to determine if the type of shoes you wear affects how high can jump and which one is the independent variable dependent variable and one constant?
Independent - the type of shoe Dependent - the height of the jump Control - the person doing the jumping

When the marginal cost is less than the average variable cost the average variable cost will?
decrease. Think about it this way, if you have a room full of people and you get their average height(average variable cost), and now each person that walks into the room(marginal cost) is shorter than the average, the average will drop.
What is Dependency of a minor?
A dependant is someone who receives most of their support through another adult individual. Usually all minor children fall into this category. The qualifications to claim a person as a dependant vary according to circumstances but generally only one person can claim the minor as a dependant and that dependant can't be claimed if that person themselves claims to be independant. if you are doing taxes adn aren't sure of these terms, I suggest you consult an accountant.
Is a dependant person self-sufficient?
No, self-sufficient means that you are independent.
