Source: Pediatrics. a. What is the domain for each function? b. For each respiratory rate, is the rate decreasing or increasing over the first 3 years of life? Hint: Is the graph of the quadratic in the exponent opening upward or downward? Where is the vertex? c. Verify your answer to part b using a graphing calculator. d. For a 1- year-old infant in the 95 th percentile, how much higher is the walking respiratory rate then the sleeping respiratory rate? e. f.arrow_forwardThe authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. The table gives body fat percentages for 16 athletes using each of these methods (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper). For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes.

- Assume that a population of patients contains 30% of individuals who suffer from a certain fatal syndrome Z, which simultaneously makes it uncomfortable for them to take a life-prolonging drug X. Let Z = 1 and Z = 0 represent, respectively, the presence and absence of the syndrome, Y = 1 and Y = 0 represent death and survival, respectively, and X = 1 and X = 0 represent taking and not taking the drug. Assume that patients not carrying the syndrome, Z = 0, die with probability 0.5 if they take the drug and with probability 0.5 if they do not. Patients carrying the syndrome, Z = 1, on the other hand, die with probability 0.7 if they do not take the drug and with probability 0.3 if they do take the drug. Further, patients having the syndrome are more likely to avoid the drug, with probabilities p(X = 1|Z=0) = 0.9 and P(X = 1|Z = 1) = 0.6 . Based on this model, compute the joint distributions and for all values of x, y, and z. Present the following joint distributions in tables. [Hint:…arrow_forward55.

Its advertisements say, “Participants in our program lose more than 4 pounds within a month.” Six clients of this program are weighed on the first day of the diet and then one month later. Let the difference be defined as Weight on First Day of Diet minus Weight One Month Later. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) (Image is table) a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses that test the diet center’s claim. (Which is Correct) H0: μD = 4; HA: μD ≠ 4 H0: μD ≥ 4; HA: μD < 4 H0: μD ≤ 4; HA: μD > 4 b.

- Determine the mean waiting time W for an M/M/2 system when lambda = 2 and μ = 1.2. Compare this with the mean waiting time in an M/M/1 system whose arrival rate is lambda = 1 and service rate is μ = 1.2. Since the arrival rate per server is the same in both cases and service times don’t vary, should the wait times be the same in both cases?arrow_forwardAn environmental chemist is performing a study of iron in atmospheric particulate measured downwind from a steel mill. She is concerned that wind velocity at the time of measurement may affect the readings. So, she decided to obtain observations on 30 randomly chosen days during the period of peak operation of the mill. She then, compares measurements taken on days when the wind is calm (velocity ≤ 5 knots) with measurements taken on windy days (velocity > 5 knots). The data are presented as the following: Table 1: Measurement of iron Calms Days Windy Days 0.68 0.74 0.88 0.25 0.29 0.3 0.43 0.45 0.5 0.89 0.97 1 0.65 0.91 0.92 0.93 0.95 1.01 1.17 1.25 1.27 0.69 0.74 0.8 0.87 0.87 0.89 8.85 1.54 0.6 1.03 1.16 By using SPSS or Minitab only: (1) Generate a descriptive table and summarize the data.
