Hospital admissions for asthma in children younger than 15 years was studied1 in Scotland both before and after comprehensive sm

oke-free legislation was passed in March 2006. Monthly records were kept of the annualized percent change in asthma admissions, both before and after the legislation was passed. For the sample studied, before the legislation, admissions for asthma were increasing at a mean rate of 5.2% per year. The standard error for this estimate is 0.7% per year. After the legislation, admissions were decreasing at a mean rate of 18.2% per year, with a standard error for this mean of 1.79%. In both cases, the sample size is large enough to use a normal distribution. a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean annual percent rate of change in childhood asthma hospital admissions in Scotland before the smoke-free legislation. b)Find a 90% confidence interval for the same quantity after the legislation

Answer:

(a) A 90% confidence interval for the mean annual percent rate of change in childhood asthma hospital admissions in Scotland before the smoke-free legislation is between 4.5% and 5.9%

(b) A 90% confidence interval for the mean annual percent rate of change in childhood asthma hospital admissions in Scotland after the smoke-free legislation is between 16.41% and 19.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval = mean% + or - standard error%

Before the smoke-free legislation, CI=5.2%+0.7%=5.9%

CI=5.2%-0.7%=4.5%

CI is between 4.5% and 5.9%

After the smoke-free legislation

CI=18.2%+1.79%=19.99%

CI=18.2%-1.79%=16.41%

CI is between 16.41% and 19.99%

A rectangular box with a volume of 272ft^3 is to be constructed with a square base and top. The cost per square foot for the bot
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

The length of one side of the base of the given box  is 3 ft.

The height of the box is 30.22 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a rectangular box with volume of 272 cubic ft.

Assume height of the box be h and the length of one side of the square base of the box is x.

Area of the base is = (x\times x)

                               =x^2

The volume of the box  is = area of the base × height

                                           =x^2h

Therefore,

x^2h=272

\Rightarrow h=\frac{272}{x^2}

The cost per square foot for bottom is 20 cent.

The cost to construct of the bottom of the box is

=area of the bottom ×20

=20x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for top is 10 cent.

The cost to construct of the top of the box is

=area of the top ×10

=10x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for side is 1.5 cent.

The cost to construct of the sides of the box is

=area of the side ×1.5

=4xh\times 1.5 cents

=6xh cents

Total cost = (20x^2+10x^2+6xh)

                =30x^2+6xh

Let

C=30x^2+6xh

Putting the value of h

C=30x^2+6x\times \frac{272}{x^2}

\Rightarrow C=30x^2+\frac{1632}{x}

Differentiating with respect to x

C'=60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}

Again differentiating with respect to x

C''=60+\frac{3264}{x^3}

Now set C'=0

60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow 60x=\frac{1632}{x^2}

\Rightarrow x^3=\frac{1632}{60}

\Rightarrow x\approx 3

Now C''|_{x=3}=60+\frac{3264}{3^3}>0

Since at x=3 , C''>0. So at x=3, C has a minimum value.

The length of one side of the base of the box is 3 ft.

The height of the box is =\frac{272}{3^2}

                                          =30.22 ft.

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

A 185-pound person burns 260 calories during a soccer game. Find the number of calories that a 250-pound person would burn durin
Olin [163]

Answer: The answer to this problem is 178 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the answer, simply get the percentage of calories a person would burn during exercise (I am using a calculator BTW).

185 / 260 = 0.711538462

Then, calculate 71.1538462% of 250 pounds.

250 * 0.711538462 = 177.884616

Finally, round up your answer. 177.884616 rounded up is 178.
