- 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_forwardWhat is the purpose of the Intermediate Value Theorem?arrow_forwardUse the geometric distribution to derive E(Y), E(Y^2), and V(Y) from the Poisson distributionarrow_forward
- the pdf of a random variable x is given by f(x;θ) = θx^θ−1 x ∈ (0,1). find the maximum likelihood estimate of θarrow_forwardA function has a graph which passes through the point (2,3) and its graph also has the property that the normal line to each point (x,y) on the graph passes through the point (2,0). Find the function?arrow_forwardLet X and Y have the joint pdf f(x,y)= x+y , 0<=x<=1, 0<=y<=1. Calculate the mean(x) mean (y) variance (x) variance(y)arrow_forward
