Ambulance response time. Ambulance response time is measured as the time (in minutes) between the initial call to emergency medical services (EMS) and when the patient is reached by ambulance. Geographical Analysis (Vol. 41, 2009) investigated the characteristics of ambulance response time for EMS calls in Edmonton, Alberta. For a particular EMS station (call it Station A), ambulance response time is known to be
- a. Regulations require that 90% of all emergency calls be reached in 9 minutes or less. Are the regulations met at EMS Station A? Explain.
- b. A randomly selected EMS call in Edmonton has an ambulance response time of 2 minutes. Is it likely that this call was serviced by Station A? Explain.

- Planetary Velocity The following table gives the mean velocity of planets in their orbits versus their mean distance from the sun. Note that 1AU astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the sun, abut 93 million miles. Planet d=distance AU v=velocity km/sec Mercury 0.39 47.4 Venus 0.72 35.0 Earth 1.00 29.8 Mars 1.52 24.1 Jupiter 5.20 13.1 Saturn 9.58 9.7 Uranus 19.20 6.8 Neptune 30.05 5.4 Astronomers tell us that it is reasonable to model these data with a power function. a Use power regression to express velocity as a power function of distance from the sun. b Plot the data along with the regression equation. c An asteroid orbits at a mean distance of 3AU from the sun.
