Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = x + 1 has a solid circle at x = 2 indicating that x is valid for this value, thus

y = x + 1 for x ≤ 2

The line y = x + 2 has an open circle at x = 2 indicating that x = 2 is not part of the solution but that values greater than 2 are valid, that is

y = x + 2 for x > 2

The definition for the function is (a)

Answer:

The answer is Option E; both B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Both (b) and (c) are correct. Simpson's paradox is a paradox in which a trend that appears in different groups of data disappears when these groups are combined, and the reverse trend appears for the aggregate data. This result is often encountered in social-science and medical-science statistics, and is particularly confounding when frequency data are unduly given causal interpretations. Simpson's Paradox disappears when causal relations are brought into consideration.

Now, this question is an example of Simpsons paradox because the groups of collected data over a period of time from five major cities showed a trend that StatsAir does better overall, but this trend is reversed when the groups are studied separately to show that air median does better.

So, option B is correct.

Also, City is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association. That is it is the cause of why the 2 results are biased. Thus, city is a lurking variable.

So, option C is also correct

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

The equation describing the forest wood biomass per hectare as a function of plantation age t is:

y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4

The equation that describes the annual growth in wood biomass is:

y ′ (t) = 0.01t + 0.072t^2 - 0.018t^3

To find:

a) The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value

b) when does y ′ (t) achieve its highest value?

To determine the year the highest possible value was achieved, we will set the derivative y'(t) to zero. The values of t will be substituted into the second derivative to get the highest value

$\begin{gathered} 0\text{ = 0.01t + 0.072t}^2\text{ - 0.018t}^3 \\ using\text{ a graphing tool,} \\ t\text{ = -0.1343} \\ \text{t = 0} \\ t\text{ = 4.1343} \\ \\ Since\text{ we can't have time as a negative value, t = 0 or t = 4.1343} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} To\text{ ascertain which is the maximum, we take a second derivative} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen = 0.01 + 0.144t - 0.054t}^2 \\ \\ substitute\text{ t = 0 and t = 4.13 respectively} \\ when\text{ t = 0 } \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen0\rparen - 0.054\lparen0\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0 - 0} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 > 0} \\ \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen4.13\rparen - 0.054\lparen4.13\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= -0.316 < 0} \\ \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen > 0 , then it is minimum, } \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen < 0, then it is maximum} \end{gathered}$

SInce t = 4.13, gives y ′' (t) = -0.316 (< 0). This makes it the maximum value of t

The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value to the nearest whole number will be

year 4

b) y ′ (t) will achieve its highest value, when we substitute the value of t that gives into the initial function.

Initial function: y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4
