The answer is the second one: anticoagulants.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Clotting factors: These are proteins in the blood that help control bleeding. They are involved in the process of blood clot formation, not in reducing it. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

  2. Anticoagulants: These are substances that prevent or reduce the coagulation of blood, thereby reducing the formation of blood clots. This is the correct answer.

  3. Procoagulants: These are substances that promote blood clotting. They have the opposite effect of anticoagulants, so this option is incorrect.

In summary, compounds that reduce the formation of blood clots are classified as anticoagulants.

A random sample of 84 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 288. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 280. Assume that the population standard deviation is 36. At α=0.08, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: μ=280 (claim) B. H0: μ<280 Ha: μ>280 Ha: μ ≥ 280 (claim) C. H0: μ=280 D. H0: μ ≥ 280 (claim) E. H0: μ ≤ 280 (claim) Ha: μ>280 Ha: μ>280 (claim) Ha: μ<280 F. H0: μ ≤ 280 Ha: μ>280 (claim)
