Doctors can use radioactive chemicals to treat some forms of cancer. The half life of a certain chemical is 5 days. A patient re

ceives a treatment of 16 millicuries of the chemical. (A millicurie is a unit of radioactivity.) How much of the chemical remains in the patient 10 days later?

You'll need a half-life formula.  (See attached) (Use the formula at the bottom).

Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2 ^n
where "n" is the number of half-lives.
Half life is 5 days, so amount remaining after 10 days is
1/2^2 or 1/4 of the original is left

For each of parts (a) through (d), indicate whether we would generally expect the performance of a flexible statistical learning
olga_2 [115]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that a flexible statistical learning method refers to using models that take into account agree difference in the observed data set, and are thus adjustable. While the inflexible method usually involves a model that has no regard to the kind of data set.

a) The sample size n is extremely large, and the number of predictors p is small. (BETTER)

In this case since the sample size is extremely large a flexible model is a best fit.

b) The number of predictors p is extremely large, and the number of observations n is small. (WORSE)

In such case overfiting the data is more likely because of of the small observations.

c) The relationship between the predictors and response is highly non-linear. (BETTER)

The flexible method would be a better fit.

d) The variance of the error terms, i.e. σ2=Var(ϵ), is extremely high. (WORSE)

In such case, using a flexible model is a best fit for the error terms because it can be adjusted.

Find a ⋅ b. a = <5, 2>, b = <4, 5>
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

  30

Step-by-step explanation:

For a = <xa, ya> and b = <xb, yb>, the dot product is the sum of products ...

  a·b = (xa)(xb) + (ya)(yb)

Substituting the given information, you have ...

  a·b = 5·4 + 2·5 = 20 + 10

  a·b = 30

_____

Some graphing calculators can do such math. There are also dot product calculators available on the Internet. If you have quite a few of these to calculate, you can put the appropriate formula into a spreadsheet.
