\begin{aligned} & \text{1. Determine which form of the parabola equation to use. Since the vertex and focus differ in the y-coordinate only, } \\ & \text{the parabola opens vertically \lparen upwards or downwards\rparen. We use the standard form }(x-h)^2=4p(y-k) \\ & \text{2. Identify the vertex }(h,k)\text{ and the focus }(h,k+p). \\ & \text{3. From the given data: }(h,k)=(-5,-6)\text{ and focus}=(-5,-3) \\ & \text{4. Calculate }p \\ & k+p=-3 \\ & -6+p=-3 \\ & p=3\text{ \lparen focus is 3 units above the vertex, so p is negative since the parabola opens downwards\rparen} \\ & \text{4. Substitute the values into the standard form }(x-h)^2=4p(y-k) \\ & (x-(-5))^2=4(3)(y-(-6)) \\ & (x+5)^2=12(y+6) \\ & \text{The equation of the parabola is }(x+5)^2=12(y+6) \\ & \placeholder{}\end{aligned}

Your boss asks you to plan the sample size for a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the clinical development of a cure for irritable bowl disease. Current standard treatment shall be compared with a new treatment in this trial. The S3-guideline of AWM demonstrated a mean change of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire at 8 weeks of 16 with standard deviation 23 under standard treatment. You quote the drop-out rate of 11% from literature (previous phase of clinical development). Your research yielded a clinically important effect of 4 that has been found to be the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). In order to demonstrate superiority of the new treatment over standard of care, you assume that the change in of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire follows a normal distribution, and that the standard deviation is the same for both treatments. How many patientes would one need to recruit for the trial to demonstrate the clinically interesting difference between treatments at significance level 5% with 95% power?

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.

We plan to test whether the mean mRNA expression level differs between two strains of yeast, for each of 8,000 genes. We will measure the expression levels of each gene, in n samples of strain 1 and m samples of strain 2. We plan to compute a P-value for each gene, using an unpaired two-sample t-test for each gene (the particular type of test does not matter). a) What are the null hypotheses in these tests (in words)?
