A doctor wants to determine if a new medication for cholesterol is more effective than the previous medication. The doctor informed his patients of the new medication and asked them if they would like to participate in a drug trial to test the effectiveness of the new cholesterol medicine compared to the current medication. Twenty-five patients who were currently taking medication for cholesterol volunteered and were given the new medication. After two months, the patients’ cholesterol levels are checked. Which of the following is a true statement about the design of this experiment?

This experiment will show the effectiveness of the new cholesterol medicine.

Because a random sample was not used, the doctor will not be able to determine the effectiveness of the new medicine.

Because the doctor did not have a different random sample of patients take the original medication, the effectiveness of the new medicine will not be able to be determined.

Because the doctor did not have a different random sample of patients not take any medication, the effectiveness of the new cholesterol medication will not be able to be determined.

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 12 minutes. the standard deviation of completion times is 1.6 minutes. it is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. to test this claim, a random sample of 33 completion times under new management was taken. the sample had a mean of 11.2 minutes. assume that the population is normally distributed. can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management? assume that the standard deviation of completion times has not changed.
