In an experiment on the effects of caffeine on the alertness of college students, student volunteers are randomly assigned to two groups. One group is given caffeinated coffee while the other group is given decaffeinated coffee. All participants then play a video game to assess their mental acuity, measured as their final score on the video game. In this study, the group that is given caffeinated coffee is called the:

Experimental group

Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of a research study whereby the participants or subject are divided into groups such that some are exposed to the independent variable or treatment while the other subjects are used as control for the study, The group of participants which are exposed or given the actual treatment or independent procedure are called the experimental group. In the scenario above, experimental group are the group of students which were given caffeinated coffee which is the independent variable in this case.

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
