Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?
According to a high-profile realtor, houses in the sleepy town of Sun Beach have shown higher appreciation over the past three years than have houses in the bustling town of North Arden. To test the realtor's claim, an economist has found eight recently sold homes in Sun Beach and eight recently sold homes in North Arden that were owned for exactly three years. The following table gives the appreciation (expressed as a percentage increase) for each of the sixteen houses. Appreciation rates in percent Sun Beach 10.2, 9.7, 12, 10.4, 7.9, 10.9, 9.6, 13.3 North Arden 7.5, 12.8, 5.9, 8.5, 8.1, 9.3, 6.3, 13.4 Assume that the two populations of appreciation rates are normally distributed and that the population variances are equal. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that houses in Sun Beach have higher appreciation over the past three years than houses in North Arden? Perform a one-tailed test. The null hypothesis: H0:…

Overall, fewer tons of metals were extracted than minerals. 3. The extraction of all four types of natural resources - biomass, minerals, metals and fossils fuels - increased steadily for several decades after 1980. 4. Biomass energy is a renewable resource.

John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast? (Note that you do not need to know the value of the forecast for next year in order to solve this problem.)
Suppose a certain scale is not calibrated correctly, and as a result, the mass of any object is displayed as 0.75 kilogram less than its actual mass. What is the correlation between the actual masses of a set of objects and the respective masses of the same set of objects displayed by the scale?
Over the past 40 years, the percentage of homes in the United States with smoke detectors has risen steadily and has plateaued at about 96% as of 2015.† With this increase in the use of home smoke detectors, what has happened to the death rate from home fires? Suppose the following contains 17 years of data on the estimated percentage of homes with smoke detectors and the estimated home fire deaths per million of population.

The U.S. Bureau of the Census prediction for the percentage of the population 65 years and older can be modeled as p(x) = −0.00022x3 + 0.014x2 − 0.0033x + 12.236 percent where x is the number of years since 2000, data from 0 ≤ x ≤ 50. 1. Determine the value of x in the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 50 for which the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly (Round your answer to three decimal places). 2. Thus, in which year is the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly? 3. Calculate the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 4. Calculate the rate of change of the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
