The answer is the last one: Sebum.

Explanation for each option:

  • Ammonia: This is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, not typically associated with the secretions of sebaceous glands.
  • Glucose: This is a simple sugar and is not a component of sebaceous gland secretions.
  • Sodium chloride: Commonly known as salt, this is not a component of the oily secretion from sebaceous glands.
  • Water: While water is present in many bodily secretions, it is not the oily component of sebaceous gland secretions.
  • Sebum: This is the correct answer. Sebum is the oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair.

In summary, the oily component of the secretion of the sebaceous glands is sebum.

A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 respondents, 12% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ± 5 percentage points. What values do p̂, q̂, n, E, and p represent? If the confidence level is 95%, what is the value of α? The value of p̂ is the sample proportion. The value of q̂ is found from evaluating 1-p̂. The value of n is the sample size. The value of E is the margin of error. The value of p is the population proportion.

SAT scores: A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 100 entering freshmen and computes their mean mathematics SAT score to be 469. Assume the population standard deviation is σ=119. Part 1 of 4 (a) Construct a 99.5% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score for the entering freshman class. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. A 99.5% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score is 436.0 μ<502.0 . Part 2 of 4 (b) If the sample size were 120 rather than 100, would the margin of error be larger or smaller than the result in part (a)? Explain. The margin of error would be smaller, since an increase in the sample size will decrease the standard error. Part 3 of 4 (c) If the confidence levels were 99.8% rather than 99.5%, would the margin of error be larger or smaller than the result in part (a)? Explain. The margin of error would be (Choose one) larger since (Choose one) in the confidence level will (Choose one) the (Choose one)

18. Blood pressure According to a health information website, the distribution of adults' diastolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury, mmHg ) can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean 70 mmHg and standard deviation 20 mmHg . A diastolic pressure greater than 100 mmHg for an adult is classified as very high blood pressure. About what proportion of adults have very high blood pressure according to this criterion?
