A recent study revealed that the average weight of babies born in the US is normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds. One

researcher decides to look at the age of the mother to determine if younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or lighter than average. The researcher collects data from 87 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight for these babies was 7.3 pounds with a standard deviation of .6 pounds. Which of the following statements is relevant to the assumption of Appropriate Measurement of the Variables?
a. the standard deviation for young mothers is not expected to be different than the standard deviation in the population
b. only one baby was measured per mother
c. weights of babies are normally distributed in the population
d. the study used a sample that is different than the comparison population and measured weight on a ratio scale

Answer:

c. Weights of babies are normally distributed

Step-by-step explanation:

The research has been conducted to identify the weight of new born babies in comparison to the weight of their mother. The samples are collected from young mothers who are at age of 16 to 18. The babies average weight turned out to be 7.3 pounds. It is assumed that the weight of babies is normally distributed.

A peach orchard owner wants to maximize the amount of peaches produced by her orchard.
qaws [65]

Answer:

  a) Y(x) = {900, x≤30; 900-40(x-30), x>30}

  b) T(x) = {900x, x≤30; 2100x-40x², x>30}

  c) dT/dx = {900, x≤30; 2100-80x, x>30}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The problem statement gives the function for x ≤ 30, and gives an example of evaluating the function for x = 35. So, replacing 35 in the example with x gives the function definition for x > 30.

\displaystyle Y(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lcl}900&\text{for}&x\le 30\\900-40(x-30)&\text{for}&x>30\end{array}\right.

__

b) The yield per acre is the product of the number of trees and the yield per tree:

  T(x) = x·Y(x)

\displaystyle T(x)=\left \{\begin{array}{lcl}900x&\text{for}&x\le 30\\2100x-40x^2& \text{for}&x>30\end{array}\right.

__

c) The derivative is ...

\displaystyle\frac{dT}{dx}=\left \{\begin{array}{lcl}900&\text{for}&x\le 30\\2100-80x& \text{for}&x>30\end{array}\right.

_____

The attached graph shows the yield per acre (purple, overlaid by red for x<30), the total yield (black), and the derivative of the total yield (red). You will note the discontinuity in the derivative at x=30, where adding one more tree per acre suddenly makes the rate of change of yield be negative.

I really need help. My teacher said that I could use any number.
katen-ka-za [31]
The keyword is Rise over run
So the 2nd y value minus the first y value and divide it by the 2nd x value minus
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(10-7)/5-3)
the first x value and you should get 3/2
*dont worry the if the number is under and not above it’s not a saying to do to the power of but it’s just saying the order in which to put the x and y values.

WILL GIVE 5 STARS TO THE PERSON WHO HELPS WITH AN EXPLANATION!!! If the 32 ounce bottle is 20% more than the typical bottle, how
Aleks04 [339]
So if 32 oz is 20% more than the average bottle, you multiply 32 by .20 which gives you 6.4. This means that the 32 oz bottle is 6.4 oz more than the regular bottle. Furthermore, 32 - 6.4 = 25.6 so that's how big the typical bottle is.
