Chapter 4, Problem 5P

A fuel tank is made of a half cylinder (r =14 in.) as shown. Derive an expression for the amount of fuel in gallons as a function of h. Create a Vector for h ranging from 0 to 14 in. with increments of 2 in. Then calculate the corresponding volume rounded to the nearest tenth of a gallon. Display the results in a two-column table where in the first column arc the values of h and in the second column the associated values of volume (in gallons).

You draw two slips of paper at random from the hat,without replacing the first slip into the hat.(a) (5 points) Write out the sample space S for this experiment.(b) (5 points) Express the event E : {the sum of the numbers on the slips of paper is 4} as a subset of S.(c) (5 points) Find P(E)(d) (5 points) Let F = {the larger minus the smaller number is 0}. What is P(F )?(e) (5 points) Are E and F disjoint? Why or why not?(f) (5 points) Find P(E ∪ F )

In addition to the in-school milk supplement program, the nurse would like to increase the use of daily vitamin supplements for the children by visiting homes and educating about the merits of vitamins. She believes that currently, about 50% of families with school-age children give the children a daily megavitamin. She would like to increase this to 70%. She plans a two-group study, where one group serves as a control and the other group receives her visits. How many families should she expect to visit to have 80% power of detecting this difference? Assume that drop-out rate is 5%.

A recent survey of 400 americans asked whether or not parents do too much for their young adult children. The results of the survey are shown in the data file. a) Construct the frequency and relative frequency distributions. How many respondents felt that parents do too much for their adult children? What proportion of respondents felt that parents do too little for their adult children? b) Construct a pie chart. Summarize the findings
