Energy Expenditure See Problem 79. The basal energy expenditure for females is given by
E = 665.1 + 9.56W + 1.85H − 4.68A
Compute the basal energy expenditure of a 40-year-old female who is 168 cm tall (5 feet. 6 inches) and weighs 57 kg (125 pounds).
79. Energy Expenditure Basal energy expenditure (E) is the amount of energy, measured in calories, required to maintain the body’s normal metabolic activity such as respiration, maintenance of body temperature, and so on. For males, the basal energy expenditure is given by the formula
E = 66.67 + 13.75W + 5H − 6.76A
where W is the weight of the male (in kilograms), H is the height of the male (in centimeters), and A is the age of the male. Determine the basal energy expenditure of a 37-year-old male who is 178 cm (5 feet: 10 inches) tall and weighs 82 kg (180 pounds).

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
