- Respiratory Rate Researchers have found that the 95 th percentile the value at which 95% of the data are at or below for respiratory rates in breath per minute during the first 3 years of infancy are given by y=101.82411-0.0125995x+0.00013401x2 for awake infants and y=101.72858-0.0139928x+0.00017646x2 for sleeping infants, where x is the age in months. Source: Pediatrics. a. What is the domain for each function? b. For each respiratory rate, is the rate decreasing or increasing over the first 3 years of life? Hint: Is the graph of the quadratic in the exponent opening upward or downward? Where is the vertex? c. Verify your answer to part b using a graphing calculator. d. For a 1- year-old infant in the 95 th percentile, how much higher is the walking respiratory rate then the sleeping respiratory rate? e. f.arrow_forwardSuppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of siblings.

- by the formula The expectation of the number of defective devices is given - N[₁ - (1 - 2N)"]· ΩΝ T = where P is the probability that the trial of one device is considered successful, is the average number of successful trials until the first failure occurs, N is the number of devices tested and m is the number of trials (successes and failures) for each device. Using the linearization method, find the dependence of the expectation and variance of the random variable T on m if N, P and 2 are independent random variables, whose expectations and variances are: M[N] = 5, M[P] = 0.8, Μ[Ω] = 4, D[N] = 1, D[P] = 0.1, D[P] = 0.2.arrow_forwardSuppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of siblings.
