Chapter 14.7, Problem 44E
Automobile racing, high-performance driving schools, and driver education programs run by automobile clubs continue to grow in popularity. All these activities require the participant to wear a helmet that is certified by the Snell Memorial Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to research, education, testing, and development of helmet safety standards. Snell “SA” (Sports Application)-rated professional helmets are designed for auto racing and provide extreme impact resistance and high fire protection. One of the key factors in selecting a helmet is weight, since lower weight helmets tend to place less stress on the neck. Consider the following data showing the weight and price for 18 SA helmets.

- 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.arrow_forwardAutomobile racing, high-performance driving schools, and driver education programs run by automobile clubs continue to grow in popularity.

- “The rapid growth of video game popularity has generated concern among practitioners, parents, scholars, and politicians,” wrote researchers Hope M. Cummings and Elizabeth A. Vandewater. In their study, Cummings and Vandewater measured the time adolescents spent playing video games as well as time spent doing other activities, such as interacting with family and friends, reading or doing homework, or playing sports. [Source: Cummings, H., & Vandewater, E. (2007). Relation of adolescent video game play to time spent in other activities.

During their 8th- and 11th-grade school years, students in the Ranger School District take standardized achievement tests designed to assess their language and math skills. The superintendent receives a report showing how Ranger students compare with those in many other school districts across the nation. The superintendent discusses the results with the school principals. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational Quantitative/experimental Quantitative/quasi-experimental Qualitative Mixed methods, and then (b) Identify one or more conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from this study and, if relevant, one or more conclusions that cannot be drawn from the studyarrow_forward
