Textbook Question
Chapter 3.5, Problem 116E
Although your friend has a family history of heart disease, he smokes, on average, 25 cigarettes per day. He sees the table showing incidence ratios for heart disease (see Exercises 103–106) and feels comfortable that they are less than 2, compared to 9 and 10 for lung cancer. He claims that all family deaths have been from heart disease and decides not to give up smoking. Use the given function and its graph to describe some additional information not given in the table that might influence his decision.

The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act (RRA) was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1998. A major objective of the RRA was to promote electronic filing of tax returns. The data in the table that follows show the percentage of individual income tax returns filed electronically for filing years 2000–2008. Since the percentage P of returns filed electronically depends on the filing year y and each input corresponds to exactly one output, the percentage of returns filed electronically is a function of the filing year;so P(y) represents the percentage of returns filed electronically for filing year y.
(a) Find the average rate of change of the percentage of e-filed returns from 2000 to 2002.
(b) Find the average rate of change of the percentage of e-filed returns from 2004 to 2006.
(c) Find the average rate of change of the percentage of e-filed returns from 2006 to 2008.
(d) What is happening to the average rate of change as time passes?
World Military Expenditure The following chart shows total military and arms trade expenditure from 2011–2020 (t = 1 represents 2011).
†A bar graph titled "World military expenditure" has a horizontal t-axis labeled "Year since 2010" and a vertical axis labeled "$ (billions)". The bar graph has 10 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.
1: 1,800 billion dollars
2: 1,775 billion dollars
3: 1,750 billion dollars
4: 1,730 billion dollars
5: 1,760 billion dollars
6: 1,760 billion dollars
7: 1,850 billion dollars
8: 1,900 billion dollars
9: 1,950 billion dollars
10: 1,980 billion dollars
(a)
If you want to model the expenditure figures with a function of the form
f(t) = at2 + bt + c,
would you expect the coefficient a to be positive or negative? Why? HINT [See "Features of a Parabola" in this section.]
We would expect the coefficient to be positive because the curve is concave up.
We would expect the coefficient to be negative because the…

- Suppose classmates who graduated in 2004 compared their median incomes ten years later. The bar graph displays the median income, in thousands of dollars, for each classmate during the time intervals from 2005‑2009 and 2010‑2014. For the individual with the largest dollar value increase in median income over the two time intervals, determine the amount of increase.arrow_forwardThe graphs below give the diabetes mortality rate for countries with low per capita income and countries with high per capita income.arrow_forwardQ1. The table provided gives data on indexes of output per hour (X) and real compensation per hour (Y) for the business and nonfarm business sectors of the U.S. economy for 1960–2005. The base year of the indexes is 1992 = 100 and the indexes are seasonally adjusted. a. Plot Y against X for the two sectors separately. b. What is the economic theory behind the relationship between the two variables? Does the scattergram support the theory? c. Estimate the OLS regression of Y on X. Note: on the table ( 1. Output refers to real gross domestic product in the sector. 2. Wages and salaries of employees plus employers’ contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans. 3.

- Complete Part D A recent issue of the AARP Bulletin reported that the average weekly pay for a woman with a high school degree is $520 (AARP Bulletin, January–February, 2010). Suppose you would like to determine if the average weekly pay for all working women is significantly greater than that for women with a high school degree. Data providing the weekly pay for a sample of 50 working women are available in the file named WeeklyPay. These data are consistent with the findings reported in the AARP article. Complete D null hyposthesis: H(o)=520Alternative hypothesis: H(a): greater then 520 sample mean=637.94 the test statistic = 5.62 p-value=0.00 Using a=.05, we would reject the null hypothesis. D.

- Nielsen tracks the amount of time that people spend consuming media content across different platforms (digital, audio, television) in the United States. Nielsen has found that traditional television viewing habits vary based on the age of the consumer as an increasing number of people consume media through streaming devices.† The following data represent the weekly traditional TV viewing hours in 2016 for a sample of 14 people aged 18–34 and 12 people aged 35–49. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Viewers aged 18–34 24.2 21.0 17.8 19.6 23.4 19.1 14.6 27.1 19.2 18.3 22.9 23.4 17.3 20.5 Viewers aged 35–49 24.9 34.9 35.8 31.9 35.4 29.9 30.9 36.7 36.2 33.8 29.5 30.8 (a) Compute the mean and median weekly hours of traditional TV viewed by those aged 18–34.arrow_forwardCell Phones Using the CTIA Wireless Survey for1985–2009, the number of U.S. cell phone subscribers (in millions) can be modeled byy = 0.632x2 - 2.651x + 1.209where x is the number of years after 1985.a.

What does the answer to (b) tell about this model?arrow_forwardThe body mass index (BMI) of a person is the person’s weight divided by the square of his or her height. It is an indirect measure of the person’s body fat and an indicator of obesity. Results from surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that the estimated mean BMI for US adults increased from 25.0 in the 1960–1962 period to 28.1 in the 1999–2002 period. [Source: Ogden, C., et al. (2004). Mean body weight, height, and body mass index, United States 1960–2002. Suppose you are a health researcher. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean BMI of US adults in the current year is greater than the mean BMI of US adults in 2000. Assume that the mean BMI of US adults in 2000 was 28.1 (the population mean). You obtain a sample of BMI measurements of 1,034 US adults, which yields a sample mean of M = 28.9. Let μ denote the mean BMI of US adults in the current year. Please Formulate the null and alternative hypothesesarrow_forward
