Waterbury Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y). The MegaStat output is reported here:

Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the

- Oil ProductionThe following table shows the amount of crude oil in billions of barrels produced in the United States in recent years. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration. Year Crude Oil Produced 2002 2.097 2003 2.060 2004 1.989 2005 1.893 2006 1.857 2007 1.853 2008 1.830 2009 1.954 2010 2.000 2011 2.063 2012 2.377 In this exercise we are interested in the total amount of crude oil produced over the 10-year period from mid-2002 to mid-2012, using the data for the 11 years above. One approach is to sum up the numbers in the second column, but only count half of the first and last numbers. Give the answer to this calculation. Approximate the amount of crude oil produced over the 10-year period 2002-2012 by taking the average of the left endpoint sum and the right endpoint sum. Explain why this is equivalent to the calculation done in part a. This is also equivalent to a formula known as the trapezoidal rule, discussed in the next chapter. If your calculator has a cubic regression feature, find the best-fitting cubic function for these data, letting t=0 correspond to 2000. Then integrate this equation over the interval [2.12] to estimate the amount of crude oil produced over this time period. Compare with your answer to part a.arrow_forwardSteel Strength_vs_Carbon_Content_data Steel Grade Nominal Carbon Fatigue Yield Ultimate Hardness 9254 0.54 845 2270 1070 0.7 533 1950 8620 0.8 458 920 8695 0.95 401 780 8695 0.95 509 847 6150 0.5 307 1878 1552 0.52 257 933 2450 2069 1202 1496 979 2343 933 584 613 583 539 539 555 601arrow_forwardStudentVUE New Tab schools schoology.comcommon-assessment-delivery/start/3023343903?action=onresume&submissionid%3D248090078 choology Bayside Home Page 9 Schoology Bayside Home Page E Its Elemental - Ele.

- The euphotic zone is the upper 200 m layer of the oceans. Very little sunlight penetrates deeper than 200 m, so most plants live in the euphotic zone. As a result, 70% of all photosynthesis on Earth occurs in the euphotic zone of the oceans. The following table gives light penetration data for the location in the Pacific Ocean. Depth (m) Penetration of Sunlight (%) 0.01 100 20 54.37 40 29.57 60 16.08 80 8.74 100 4.76 a. Determine the equation of the logarithmic regression by using LOG or LN function on your TI-83 Plus graphic calculator. b. Using your equation obtained from a), determine the depth with a sunlight penetration of 35%. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of meter.arrow_forwardSolar energy generation along highways. The potential of using solar panels constructed above national highways to generate energy was explored in the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (December 2013). Two-layer solar panels (with 1 meter separating the panels) were constructed above sections of both east-west and north-south highways in India. The amount of (kilowatt-hours) supplied to the country's grid by the solar panels above the two types of highways was determined each month. The data for several randomly selected months are provided in the table. The researchers concluded that the "two-layer solar panel energy generation is more viable for the north-south oriented highways as compared to east- west oriented roadways." Compare the mean solar energy amounts generated for the two types of highways using a 95% confidence interval. Does the interval support the re- energy searchers' conclusion?
