The diversity index, from 0 to 100, measures the chance that two randomly selected people are a different race or ethnicity. The diversity index in the United States varies widely from region to region, from as high as 81 in Hawaii to as low as 11 in Vermont. The bar graph shows the national diversity index for the United States for four years in the period from 1980 through 2010.The data in the graph can be modeled by the formulaD = 0.005x2 + 0.55x + 34,where D is the national diversity index in the United States x years after 1980. According to the formula, what was the U.S. diversity index in 2010? How does this compare with the index displayed by the bar graph?

an you tell how old a lobster is by its size? This question was investigated by the authors of a paper that appeared in the Biological Bulletin (August 2007). Researchers measured carapace (the exterior shell) length of 27 laboratory-raised lobsters of known age. The data on x = carapace length (in mm) and y = age (in years) in the following table were read from a graph that appeared in the paper. Age CarapaceLength Age CarapaceLength Age CarapaceLength 1.00 63.32 1.82 118.25 2.93 147.82 1.00 67.50 2.18 108.24 2.92 140.17 1.00 69.58 2.18 109.64 2.92 135.73 1.00 74.41 2.17 117.99 2.92 121.81 1.42 80.32 2.17 123.81 3.17 141.30 1.42 81.80 2.33 138.47 3.41 151.73 1.42 84.59 2.50 133.95 3.42 145.78 1.82 105.07 2.51 124.25 3.75 147.21 1.82 106.16 2.50 123.51 4.08 152.04 (a) Construct a scatterplot of these data, and then find the equation of the least squares regression line that describes the relationship between y = age and x = carapace length.

Mike must work at least 18 hours a week to supplement his income while attending school. He has the opportunity to work in two retail stores. In store 1, he can work between 5 and 13 hours a week, and in store 2, he is allowed between 6 and 11 hours. Both stores pay the same hourly wage. In deciding how many hours to work in each store, Mike wants to base his decision on work stress. Based on interviews with present employees, Mike estimates that, on an ascending scale of 1 to 10, the stress factors are 8 and 6 at stores 1 and 2, respectively. Because stress mounts by the hour, he assumes that the total stress for each store at the end of the week is proportional to the number of hours he works in the store. How many hours should Mike work in each store? a) Define the decision variables b) LP model c) feasible region d) optimal solution e) final answer in statement form
The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, infects and kills helper T cells. Because T cells stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies, their destruction disables the body’s defenses against other pathogens. By counting the number of T cells that remain active in the body, the progression of HIV can be monitored. The fewer helper T cells, the more advanced the disease. The attached Figure shows a graph that is used to monitor the average progression of the disease. The average number of T cells, f(x), is a function of time after infection, x. a. Use the graph of f in the Figure to find f(5).b. For what value of x is f(x) = 100?c. Estimate the minimum average T cell count during the asymptomaticstage.
