Weather balloons are filled with hydrogen and released at various sites to measure and transmit data about conditions such as air pressure and temperature. A weather balloon is filled with hydrogen at the rate of 0.5 ft/s. Initially, the balloon has 4 ft of hydrogen. (a) Find a linear function V that models the volume of hydrogen in the balloon any time t. V(t) = (b) If the balloon has a capacity of 15 ft, how long does it take to completely fill the balloon?

According to the CDC, cholesterol levels can be reduced by following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and reducing the amount of alcohol consumed on a weekly basis. One method of monitoring overall cholesterol levels is to calculate your cholesterol ratio (LDL/HDL), in general a cholesterol ratio between 3.5 and 5.0 is considered to be healthy for most adults. Suppose you are a clinical researcher testing the effects of these lifestyle changes on patient cholesterol levels. In order to determine if following these guidelines helps to reduce overall cholesterol, a total of 18 participants (N = 18) with moderate to high cholesterol ratios (i.e., 3.91 to > 5.0) were recruited for a healthy lifestyle study and their cholesterol ratio was calculated three times over a six week period: Week 0 (baseline), Week 3, and Week 6.  Using the variables "Week 0", "Week 3", and "Week 6" in the data set, conduct a One-Way, Within Subjects (AKA Repeated Measures) ANOVA, at α = 0.05, to see…

There has been a study saying that the speed of a vehicle before it met an accident can be estimated by measuring the distance of the skid marks it has created during full braking. Consider the table below. MPH Braking Distance (ft) 20 20 30 45 40 81 50 133 60 205 80 411 1. What would you say if we proceed on predicting beyond the data values?
