    Evaluating Results of a Drug Trial on 200 Patients with High Blood Pressure

    I get it now. Sorry, I was a bit slow there. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP! :D

    Evaluating Results of a Drug Trial on 200 Patients with High Blood Pressure

    But now looking at the problem, one thing that I do not understand is how the right most circle can be 95? Doesn't it account for those patients that did not show improvement and did not have any side effects? if so then how can it be in union with those that did have side effects?

    Evaluating Results of a Drug Trial on 200 Patients with High Blood Pressure

    That you for your diagram! That's what I was doing wrong since the beginning. I did not have the shaded region, I was trying to make it account for something. I was able to come up with the final answer! thank you for all of your help! :]

    Evaluating Results of a Drug Trial on 200 Patients with High Blood Pressure

    I designed a venn diagram like you said and tried placing the numbers in the circles but I still do not understand what to do next. I know that 95 patients did NOT show improvement and NO side effects. So if I subtract that amount from 200, I am left with 105 people that showed side effects and...

    Evaluating Results of a Drug Trial on 200 Patients with High Blood Pressure

    A new drug was tested on a group of 200 patients with high blood pressure. By the end of the trial period, 90 patients showed improvement from the drug, 35 patients developed side effects, and 95 patients showed no improvement and had no side effects. How many patients showed improvement and had...

    Natural numbers proof help

    If n is a natural number then n2+n+3 is odd. This is what I have and wanted to know if I was doing it right or not: Let n be a member of the natural numbers. If n is even, then n=2k, k member of natural numbers, and n2+n+3 =(2k)2+2k+3 =4k2+2k+3...

    Cosmology Paper Ideas: Need Help!

    It's an undergraduate class and I'm currently a junior taking it. We learned about general relativity this semester and the required courses for the class are general astronomy. This class just goes a little deeper into it. The mentors could move this thread to Homework Help forum or some...

    Cosmology Paper Ideas: Need Help!

    I have to write a 4000 word paper for my Astronomy 302 (Foundations of Cosmology) class and I really do not know what to do. I was thinking about doing it on the effects black holes on the furture of the universe but I can not find any scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles on it to write a...

    Prove: Poincare Model I-1 Holes for Every Two Points of E

    Do you mean like P' and Q' are inverse points?

    Prove: Poincare Model I-1 Holes for Every Two Points of E

    Incidence Postualte I-1 holes for the Poincare Model: Every two points of E lie on exactly one L-Line. Prove: Given any two points P and Q inside the unit circle C, there exists a unique L-line l containing them. (this will require the use of analytic geometry.) L-lines:arcs of circles...

    Diagonals of a quadrilateral

    Is this better? Let ABCD be a quadrilateral. If A and B are on the same side of the line CD and B and C are on the same side of the line DA then B is in the interior of angle ADC. The Crossbar theorem says that the ray DB intersects the segment AC at some point P. Similarly A is in the...

    Could a Supermassive Black Hole Destroy Our Galaxy?

    Our galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy. It being a "normal" spiral galaxy is a common misconception. :) we are loacted near the middle of one of the arms i believe... But our galaxy along with all the other galaxies in the universe are moving. When we look at the 44 galaxies in our local group...

    Diagonals of a quadrilateral

    Here is the problem: If the diagonals of a quadrilateral intersect each other, then the quadrilateral is convex. Proof: Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral. Since quadrilateral ABCD is convex, A and D are on the same side of line BC, and D and C are on the same side of line AB. Thus D is...
