The percentage of obese children aged 12-19 years in the United States is approximately P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6 if 0 ≤ t < 10 −0.01005t2 + 0.945t − 3.4 if 10 ≤ t ≤ 30 where t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to the beginning of 1970. What was the percentage of obese children aged 12-19 at the beginning of 1975? At the beginning of 1985? At the beginning of 1990?† (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 1975 % 1985 % 1990 %

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1975------ 4.8%

1990 ------ 11.48%

1985 ------ 8.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6[/tex] if 0 ≤ t < 10

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex] if 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

Where

t:=0 implies year = 1970

Solving (a): Beginning of 1975.

First, we calculate the value of t

[tex]t = 1975 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 5[/tex]

This falls in the range: 0 ≤ t < 10

So:

[tex]P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6[/tex]

[tex]P(5) = 0.04 * 5 + 4.6[/tex]

[tex]P(5) = 4.80[/tex]

Solving (b): Beginning of 1990.

[tex]t = 1990 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 20[/tex]

This falls in the range: 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

So:

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(20) = -0.01005*20^2 + 0.945*20 - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(20) = 11.48[/tex]

Solving (c): Beginning of 1985

[tex]t = 1985 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 15[/tex]

This falls in the range: 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

So:

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = -0.01005*15^2 + 0.945*15 - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = 8.51375[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = 8.51[/tex]

Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and the time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normal distribution with a mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.2, \sigma = 2.1[/tex]

Probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 9 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3. So

X = 9

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{9 - 7.2}{2.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.86[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8051

X = 3

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{3 - 7.2}{2.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.8051 - 0.0228 = 0.7823

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

If √7 = 2.646, find without using calculator,
the value
of
√0.0007​

Answers

Answer:

√0.0007​ = 0.02646

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

√7 = 2.646

We want to find the value of:

√0.0007

Also we know the relations:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{x} }{\sqrt{y} } = \sqrt{\frac{x}{y} }[/tex]

Then:

[tex]\sqrt{0.0007} = \sqrt{\frac{7}{10,000} }[/tex]

We can rewrite this as:

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{7}{10,000} } = \frac{\sqrt{7} }{\sqrt{10,000} } = \frac{2.646}{100} = 0.02646[/tex]

One in five 18-year-old Americans has not graduated from high school (The Wall Street Journal, April 19, 2007). A mayor of a northeastern city comments that its residents do not have the same graduation rate as the rest of the country. An analyst from the Department of Education decides to test the mayor's claim. She draws a random sample of 80 18-year-olds in the city and finds that 20 of them have not graduated from high school. Compute the point estimate for the proportion of 18-year-olds who have not graduated from high school in this city. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of 18-year-olds who have not graduated from high school in this city is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate is the sample proportion.

She draws a random sample of 80 18-year-olds in the city and finds that 20 of them have not graduated from high school.

This means that:

[tex]p = \frac{20}{80} = 0.25[/tex]

The point estimate for the proportion of 18-year-olds who have not graduated from high school in this city is 0.25.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION A car travels 120 miles in 2 hours. It goes an average of South East direction. What is its velocity? 60 mph south east 45 mph 45 mph south east 60 mph​

Answers

Answer:

60 miles per hour southeast.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the car is moving southeasternly, so that answers the question right off the bat. The car is moving 120 miles per 2 hours. We need to know how much it moves in one hour though, so we must divide hours and miles by 2. We ger 60 miles per hour.

Velocity will be 60 mph southeast.

What is the difference between velocity and speed?

The distance that an item travels in a unit of time is referred to as its speed. It merely takes into account the size of the item and ignores its orientation. Speed is referred to as a scalar quantity in this way. When referring to velocity, however, it is said that velocity is the rate at which displacement changes. A vector quantity, that is.

Given distance traveled by car is 120 miles in 2 hours. Since speed is distance divided by time.

Speed = 60 mph

Also, there is a given direction which is southeast.

Therefore, the velocity of the car will be 60 mph southeast.

Myopia in children. Myopia, also called short-sightedness, is a common visual impairment that is reaching alarming proportions worldwide. The condition typically develops in school-age children and adolescents. It has long been thought that the condition was associated with too much reading, but recent evidence suggests instead that a lack of exposure to natural outdoor light may play a role. To investigate this new theory, researchers compared rates of myopia among randomly selected young children (6 and 7 years old) of Chinese ethnicity living in either Sydney (Australia) or Singapore. The researchers found that 4 of the 124 children in the Australian sample had myopia, compared with 183 among the 628 children from Singapore.
a. Display the findings in a two-way table. What percent of the children in the study had myopia? What is that percent among the children living in Australia and among those living in Singapore?
b. The researchers obtained information for most of the children in the study about their weekly amount of time in hours) spent reading or writing and the weekly amount of time in hours) spent on outdoor activities. Here are the summary statistics:
Time reading/writing Number of children Mean Standard deviation
Australia 109 20.8 13.9
Singapore 611 17.8 8.8
Time outdoors Number of children Mean Standard deviation
Australia 102 13.75 1.02
Singapore 586 3.05 0.12
How do the children from both countries in this study differ in how they spend their time?
c. Does the study suggest that more time spent reading or writing is associated with a greater risk of myopia among the enrolled children? Does it suggest that more time spent outdoors is associated with a greater risk of myopia? Can we draw a conclusion of causality based on this study?
d. The children enrolled in this study were all of Chinese ethnicity. What is the advantage in this study of collecting data from children with the same ethnicity compared with selecting random samples of children from each location regardless of ethnicity?

Answers

Answer:

a. A two way table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{cccc}&Had \ Myopia&Do \ not \ have \ Myopia& Totals\\Sydney \ (Australia)&4&120&128\\Singapore&183&445&628\end{array}[/tex]

ii) The percentage of students in the study that have myopia are approximately 24.867%

iii) The percentage of children living in Australia with myopia are approximately 3.2258%

The percentage of children living in Singapore with myopia are approximately 29.14%

b. Children in Australia spend more time reading, writing and also outdoors than children in Singapore

c. The study does not suggest that more time spent reading or writing is associated with a greater risk of myopia among the enrolled children

The study does not suggests that more time spent outdoors is associated with a greater risk of myopia

d. The advantage is to reduce associated variables the generate more accurate findings or result

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A two way table is presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{cccc}&Had \ Myopia&Do \ not \ have \ Myopia& Totals\\Sydney \ (Australia)&4&120&128\\Singapore&183&445&628\end{array}[/tex]

ii) The percentage of students in the study that have myopia are;

(4 + 183)/(124 + 628) × 100 ≈ 24.867%

iii) The percentage of children living in Australia with myopia is given as follows;

4/124 × 100 ≈ 3.2258%

The percentage of children living in Singapore with myopia is given as follows;

183/628 × 100 ≈ 29.14%

b. The data for the time spent reading and writing is presented as follows;

                    Number of children  [tex]{}[/tex]  Mean     Standard deviation

Australia        109       [tex]{}[/tex]                      20.8        13.9

Singapore [tex]{}[/tex]    586                               3.05        0.12

From the data, more children in Australia spend more time reading and writing and also outdoors than children in Singapore

c. From the data, more children spend their time reading and writing in Australia and are also less likely to develop myopia than children in Singapore

Therefore, the study does not suggest that more time spent reading or writing is associated with a greater risk of myopia among the enrolled children

Similarly, the study does not suggests that more time spent outdoors is associated with a greater risk of myopia

d. The advantage of collecting data from children with the same ethnicity compared with selecting random samples of children from each location regardless of ethnicity is to reduce the variables or influential factors that may alter the impact on the test and the results
