Answer:

z = $\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y then the equation relating them is

z = $\frac{kx}{y}$ ← k is the constant of proportionality

To find k use the condition x = 7, y = 7 and z = 2

k = $\frac{zy}{x}$ = $\frac{2(7)}{7}$ = 2

z = $\frac{2x}{y}$ ← equation of proportionality

When x = 10 and y = 12, then

z = $\frac{2(10)}{12}$ = $\frac{20}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{3}$

Who Smokes More: Male Students or Female Students? Information on a sample of 362 college students is collected. The complete da

Answer:

difference in the proportion = 0.0452

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = 27, n1 = 193,

p1 = 27/193

p1 = 0.1399

x2 = 16, n2 = 169,

p2 = 16/169

p2 = 0.0947

a) The best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers, using male proportion minus female proportion is 0.0452. Male smokes more than females in given sample.

p1 - p2 = 0.1399 - 0.0947

p1 - p2 = 0.0452

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function f(x, y) = x 2 + y 2 − x 2 y + 7 on the set d = {(x, y) : |

dsp73

Looks like $f(x,y)=x^2+y^2-x^2y+7$ .

$f_x=2x-2xy=0\implies2x(1-y)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }y=1$

$f_y=2y-x^2=0\implies2y=x^2$

If $x=0$ , then $y=0$ - critical point at (0, 0).
If $y=1$ , then $x=\pm\sqrt2$ - two critical points at $(-\sqrt2,1)$ and $(\sqrt2,1)$

The latter two critical points occur outside of $D$ since $|\pm\sqrt2|>1$ so we ignore those points.

The Hessian matrix for this function is

$H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}\\f_{yx}&f_{yy}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2-2y&-2x\\-2x&2\end{bmatrix}$

The value of its determinant at (0, 0) is $\det H(0,0)=4>0$ , which means a minimum occurs at the point, and we have $f(0,0)=7$ .

Now consider each boundary:

If $x=1$ , then

$f(1,y)=8-y+y^2=\left(y-\dfrac12\right)^2+\dfrac{31}4$

which has 3 extreme values over the interval $-1\le y\le1$ of 31/4 = 7.75 at the point (1, 1/2); 8 at (1, 1); and 10 at (1, -1).

If $x=-1$ , then

$f(-1,y)=8-y+y^2$

and we get the same extrema as in the previous case: 8 at (-1, 1), and 10 at (-1, -1).

If $y=1$ , then

$f(x,1)=8$

which doesn't tell us about anything we don't already know (namely that 8 is an extreme value).

If $y=-1$ , then

$f(x,-1)=2x^2+8$

which has 3 extreme values, but the previous cases already include them.

Hence $f(x,y)$ has absolute maxima of 10 at the points (1, -1) and (-1, -1) and an absolute minimum of 0 at (0, 0).
