Question
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.)

- It is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico:x5.756.257.258.259.25y2218786795What percentage of the variation in y cannot be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line?arrow_forward50 46 40 30 20 E 20 10 0 I 2 3 5 Number of Catalogs (in thousands) sas (in thousands)arrow_forwardIn a test comparing vinyl and latex laboratory gloves, it was found that 68% of the vinyl gloves leaked (allowing viruses to pass through) but only 6% of the latex gloves leaked.
