Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Question 1 The data shown in Table 1 are and R values for 24 samples of size n = 5 taken from a process producing bearings. The measurements are made on the inside diameter of the bearing, with only the last three decimals recorded (i.e., 34.5 should be 0.50345).

Does the process seem to be in statistical control? If necessary, revise the trial control limits. [15 pts] (b) If specifications on this diameter are 0.5030±0.0010, find the percentage of nonconforming bearings pro- duced by this process. Assume that diameter is normally distributed. [10 pts] 1

Solve the initial value problem: y' = x3 + y³ 3 , y(1) = 2 xy² y(x) = Hint: Notice that the equation on the right is homogeneous and see Homework exercise 23 in section 1.2 of our textbook to review techniques for solving homogeneous equations. Note that we've been given an intial value of the form y(a) = b where a > 0, so this only determines a solution corresponding to the right half of the graph of In(x), i.e., the part of the graph corresponding to positive values of x. Therefore, we should write In(x) instead of ln(|x|), since the left half of the graph is not determined by the initial condition given.

(5 pts) Conduct a chi-square contingency test (test of independence) to assess whether there is an association between the behavior of the elderly person (did not stop to talk, did stop to talk) and their likelihood of falling. Below, please state your null and alternative hypotheses, calculate your expected values and write them in the table, compute the test statistic, test the null by comparing your test statistic to the critical value in Table A (p. 713-714) of your textbook and/or estimating the P-value, and provide your conclusions in written form.
