Meat consumption in the United States can be broken into three categories: red meat, poultry, and fish. If fish makes up 4% less than one-quarter of poultry consumption, and red meat consumption is 18.2% higher than poultry consumption, what are the percentages of meat consumption?
Diet Program Nicole started a new diet that requires each meal to have 460 calories, 6 g of fiber, and 11 g of fat. The table shows the fiber, fat, and Calorie content of one serving of each of three breakfast foods. How many servings of each food should Nicole eat to follow her diet!
Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.
A marketing manager for a large cafeteria chain wished to investigate sales of coffee (i.e., sales is the variable she is trying to understand). Fourteen cafeterias that were similar in such respects as volume of business, type of clientele, and location were chosen for data collection. Data were collected on sales of coffee (in hundreds of gallons) and the number of coffee dispensers within the cafeteria. The results are shown below. Sales Number of Dispensers 631.9 1 628 1 692.5 2 688.4 2 747.4 3 773.3 3 791.4 4 803.4 4 838.7 5 879.6 5 881 6 841.1 6 860.6 7 883.8 7 Create a scatter plot and then fit a quadratic model to predict sales from the number of dispensers. If we define y to be sales (in hundreds of gallons) and x to be the number of dispensers, what is the correct quadratic model? Group of answer choices a. y=-6.397x2+92.85x+538.06 b. y=41.67x+614.829 c. y=0.022x-12.979 d. y=3.348x10-5x2-0.0292x+6.09 e. y=623.521x0.180

A corporation that operates five suppliers of athletic apparel in a region provides merchandise for a shoe company. The shoe company recently sought information from the five plants. One variable for which data were collected was the total money (in dollars) the company spent on medical support for its employees in the first three months of the year. Data on number of employees at the plants are also shown below. Complete parts a and b. Medical Employees $7,788 121 $14,371 409 $12,776 256 $6,874 107 $3,907 O 68 a. Compute the weighted mean medical payments for these five plants using the numbers of employees as the weights. The weighted mean is $. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
What is the variable being examined for individuals in the population(s)? Amount of alcohol consumed by each person per year. Average number of Americans who consume alcohol. Amount of alcohol sold per year. Whether or not a person consumes alcohol. info: The average American consumes 100 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume less alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 13 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 85.7 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 21 liters.
