In the town of Milton Lake, the percentage of women who smoke is increasing while the percentage of men who smoke is decreasing.

Let x represent the number of years since 1990 and y represent the percentage of women in Milton Lake who smoke. The graph of y against x includes the data points (0, 15.9) and ( 13, 19.67). Let x represent the number of years since 1990 and y represent the percentage of men in Milton Lake who smoke. The graph of y against x includes the data points (0, 29.7) and ( 15, 26.85). Determine when the percentage of women who smoke will be the same as the percentage of men who smoke. Round to the nearest year. What percentage of women and what percentage of men (to the nearest whole percent) will smoke at that time? [Hint: first find the slope-intercept equation of the line that models the percentage, y, of women who smoke x years after 1990 and the slope-intercept equation of the line that models the percentage, y, of men who smoke x years after 1990]

Given the function g(x) = 4(3)x, Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2 and Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4.
Rudik [331]
The question is defective, or at least is trying to lead you down the primrose path.
The function is linear, so the rate of change is the same no matter what interval (section) of it you're looking at.
The "rate of change" is just the slope of the function in the section.  That's
         (change in f(x) ) / (change in 'x') between the ends of the section.
In Section A:Length of the section = (1 - 0) = 1f(1) = 5f(0) = 0change in the value of the function = (5 - 0) = 5Rate of change =            (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  =  5
In Section B:Length of the section = (3 - 2) = 1 f(3) = 15f(2) = 10change in the value of the function = (15 - 10) = 5Rate of change =           (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1  =  5
Part A:The average rate of change of each section is 5.
Part B:The average rate of change of Section B is equal to the average rate of change of Section A.
Explanation:The average rates of change in every section are equalbecause the function is linear, its graph is a straight line,and the rate of change is just the slope of the graph.

Jessica reads a story about a turtle that swam 16 feet in 24 seconds. She assumes that the time, t, that it takes the turtle to
Monica [59]
You would start by figuring out the distance the turtle swims every second by dividing 24 by 16.
24➗16=1.5
From this we can take the numbers from either T: 1, ___, 24, 45 or D: ___, 10, 16, ___ to figure out the blank spaces for the other using multiplication or division. Divide T by 1.5, or multiply D by 1.5 to find the other

T: 1, 15, 24, 45
D: 1.5, 10, 16, 30

IS THIS GROWTH OR DECAY
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

It is a growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number in parenthesis (exponential base) is greater than 1, then it is a growth. If it is between 1 and 0, then it is a decay.

The joint probability density function of X and Y is given by fX,Y (x, y) = ( 6 7 x 2 + xy 2 if 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 2
fredd [130]

I'm going to assume the joint density function is

f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}\frac67(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)&\text{for }0

a. In order for f_{X,Y} to be a proper probability density function, the integral over its support must be 1.

\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^1\frac67\left(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac67\int_0^2\left(\frac13+\frac y4\right)\,\mathrm dy=1



b. You get the marginal density f_X by integrating the joint density over all possible values of Y:

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^2f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\begin{cases}\frac67(2x^2+x)&\text{for }0

c. We have

P(X>Y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^xf_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^1\frac{15}{14}x^3\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{15}{56}}

d. We have

\displaystyle P\left(X

and by definition of conditional probability,

P\left(Y>\dfrac12\mid X\frac12\text{ and }X

\displaystyle=\dfrac{28}5\int_{1/2}^2\int_0^{1/2}f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{69}{80}}

e. We can find the expectation of X using the marginal distribution found earlier.

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac67\int_0^1(2x^2+x)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac57}

f. This part is cut off, but if you're supposed to find the expectation of Y, there are several ways to do so.

  • Compute the marginal density of Y, then directly compute the expected value.

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}\frac1{14}(4+3y)&\text{for }0

\implies E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac87

  • Compute the conditional density of Y given X=x, then use the law of total expectation.

f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_X(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{2x+y}{4x+2}&\text{for }0

The law of total expectation says

E[Y]=E[E[Y\mid X]]

We have

E[Y\mid X=x]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)\,\mathrm dy=\frac{6x+4}{6x+3}=1+\frac1{6x+3}

\implies E[Y\mid X]=1+\dfrac1{6X+3}

This random variable is undefined only when X=-\frac12 which is outside the support of f_X, so we have

E[Y]=E\left[1+\dfrac1{6X+3}\right]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(1+\frac1{6x+3}\right)f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac87
