A common characterization of obese individuals is that their body mass index is at least 30 [BMI = weight/(height)2, where heigh

t is in meters and weight is in kilograms]. An article reported that in a sample of female workers, 265 had BMIs of less than 25, 159 had BMIs that were at least 25 but less than 30, and 121 had BMIs exceeding 30. Is there compelling evidence for concluding that more than 20% of the individuals in the sampled population are obese?

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Total people sampled is: 265+159+121= 545

Less than 25 (From 1 to 24.9): 265

At least 25 but less than 30(From 25 to 29.9): 159

Exceeding 30(From 30 to n): 121

Percentages:

Less than 25: 265/545= 0.486*100=48.6%

At least 25 but less than 30: 159/545=0.292*100= 29.2%

Exceeding 30:0.222*100= 22.2%

According to the definition of an obese person (From 30 to n), the 22.2% of the sampled population are obese. Then, yes more than 20% of the are obese.

s=50

A=s+30
a=50+30

The base of a solid is the region enclosed by the graphs of y=e^x, y=0, x=0, and x = 1. If each cross-section perpendicular to t
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a solid in the region enclosed by the graphs of <em>y</em> = eˣ, <em>y</em> = 0, <em>x </em>= 0, and <em>x</em> = 1. Each cross-section perpendicular to the <em>x</em>-axis is an equilateral triangle. We want to find the volume of the solid.

Please refer to the graph below. We are concerned with the red region.

In order to find the volume, we essentially sum up the area of the figure at each <em>x</em> value. So, we integrate from <em>x </em> = 0 to <em>x </em>= 1.

The area for an equilateral triangle is given by:

\displaystyle A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2

Where <em>s</em> is the side length of the triangle.

Since the triangle lies perpendicular on the region, the side length of the triangle at <em>x</em> is simply <em>y</em>, which is eˣ.

Therefore, our volume is:

\displaystyle V=\int_0^1\frac{\sqrt3}{4}(y)^2\, dx

Substitute:

\displaystyle V=\int_0^1\frac{\sqrt3}{4}(e^x)^2\, dx

Evaluate the integral. Simplify:

\displaystyle V=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\int_0^1e^{2x}\, dx

Integrate using u-substitution:

\displaystyle V=\frac{\sqrt3}{8}\left(e^{2x}\Big|_0^1\right)

Evaluate:

\displaystyle V=\frac{\sqrt3}{8}\left(e^{2(1)}-e^{2(0)} \right)

Therefore, the volume of the solid is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{\sqrt3}{8}\left(e^2-1\right)

Our answer is A.
