From the given box and whisker plot, it can be concluded that since all the percentiles for the varsity students are less than the other students, leading to faster reactions, the data suggests that Catherine and Ana's suspicion is correct.

<h3>What does a box-and-whisker plot shows?</h3>

A box and whisker plot shows three things:

The 25th percentile, which is the median of the bottom 50%.

The median, which splits the entire data-set into two halfs, the bottom 50% and the upper 50%.

The 75th percentile, which is the median of the upper 50%.

For the reaction time of other students, we have that:

The 25th percentile is of approximately 250 ms.

The median is of approximately 300 ms.

The 75th percentile is of approximately 325 ms.

For varsity students, we have that:

The 25th percentile is of approximately 225 ms.

The median is of approximately 250 ms.

The 75th percentile is of approximately 300 ms.

Since all the percentiles for the varsity students are less than the other students, leading to faster reactions, the data suggests that Catherine and Ana's suspicion is correct.

Part A

Everything looks good but line 4. You need to put all of the "2h" in parenthesis so the teacher will know you are squaring all of 2h. As you have it right now, you are saying "only square the h, not the 2". Be careful as silly mistakes like this will often cost you points.

============================================================

Part B

It looks like you have the right answer. Though you'll need to use parenthesis to ensure that all of "75t/(2pi)" is under the cube root. I'm assuming you made a typo or forgot to put the parenthesis.

dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2)
2pi*h^2*dh = 25*dt
int[ 2pi*h^2*dh ] = int[ 25*dt ] ... applying integral to both sides
(2/3)pi*h^3 = 25t + C
2pi*h^3 = 3(25t + C)
h^3 = (3(25t + C))/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + 3C)/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + C)/(2pi)
h = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Plug in the initial conditions. If the volume is V = 0 then the height is h = 0 at time t = 0
0 = [ (75(0) + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (0 + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0^3 = (C)/(2pi)
0 = C/(2pi)
C/(2pi) = 0
C = 0*2pi
C = 0

Therefore the h(t) function is...
h(t) = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t + 0)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Answer:
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

============================================================

Part C

Your answer is correct.
Below is an alternative way to find the same answer

--------------------------------------

Plug in the given height; solve for t
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8 = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8^3 = (75t)/(2pi)
512 = (75t)/(2pi)
(75t)/(2pi) = 512
75t = 512*2pi
75t = 1024pi
t = 1024pi/75
At this time value, the height of the water is 8 feet

Set up the radius r(t) function
r = 2*h
r = 2*h(t)
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3) .... using the answer from part B

Differentiate that r(t) function with respect to t
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
dr/dt = 2*(1/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3-1)*d/dt[(75t)/(2pi)]
dr/dt = (2/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)*(75/(2pi))
dr/dt = (2/3)*(75/(2pi))*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)

Plug in t = 1024pi/75 found earlier above
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75(1024pi/75))/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (1024pi)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*(1/64)
dr/dt = 25/(64pi)
getting the same answer as before

----------------------------

Thinking back as I finish up, your method is definitely shorter and more efficient. So I prefer your method, which is effectively this:
r = 2h, dr/dh = 2
dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2) ... from part A
dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt ... chain rule
dr/dt = 2*((25)/(2pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*8^2)) ... plugging in h = 8
dr/dt = (25)/(64pi)
which is what you stated in your screenshot (though I added on the line dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt to show the chain rule in action)

CSEL gets very crowded when homework is due, or when there is a test for Intro to Data Science. Let T denote the random variable

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mean arrival rate is 0.2 students per minute, the expected time interval between student arrivals, in minutes, is determined by the inverse of the arrival rate:

$t = \frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5\ minutes$

The interval between student arrivals is, on average, 5 minutes.

Answer:

$(-2,\, 0)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate a point $(x,\, y)$ by a scale factor of $r$ with $(a,\, b)$ as the center, and the resultant point would be at $(a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a))$ .
