Chapter 3.8, Problem 38P
To determine

Show that the number of iterations necessary to generate a random variable and determine the parameter of the geometric frequency function.

Suppose that the random change in value of a financial asset is X over the first day and Y over the second. Suppose also that Var(X) =18 and Var(Y) = 26 In this case, the total change in the value over these two days is given by X +Y. Do you have enough information to compute Var(X +Y)? If so, compute this value. If not, explain what additional information you need to do so.
What is the optimal time for a scuba diver to be on the bottom of the ocean? That depends on the depth of the dive. The US navy has done a lot of research on this topic. The navy defines the "optimal time" to be the time at each depth for the best balance between length of work period and decompression time after surfacing. Let x= depth of dive in meters and let y= optimal time in hours. A random sample of divers gave the following data. x 16.1 25.3 29.2 38.3 51.3 20.5 22.7  y 2.68 2.28 1.68 1.03 .75 2.38 2.20 find the predicted optimal time in hours for a dive depth of x=33 meters.(round your answer to two decimal places)  __hr  find an 80% confidence interval for y when x =33 meters.(round your answer to two decimal places)  lower limit=upper limit= use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that b<0.
