Explanation The given differential equation is ( x 2 + x − 6 ) y ″ + ( x + 3 ) y ′ + ( x − 2 ) y = 0 . Writing the given differential equation in the form y ″ + a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) y ′ + a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) y = 0 gives y ″ + ( x + 3 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x − 2 ) y ′ + ( x − 2 ) ( x + 3 ) ( x − 2 ) y = 0 On comparison, the values are obtained as follows: a 0 ( x ) = ( x − 2 ) a 1 ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) a 2 ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x − 2 ) Now, singular point is obtained by equating a 2 ( x ) = ( x + 3 ) ( x − 2 ) to zero. So, singular point are obtained as x = 2 , − 3 . Also, a singular point x = x 0 is said to be a regular singular point of the differential equation y ″ + a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) y ′ + a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) y = 0 if the functions p ( x ) = ( x − x 0 ) a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) and q ( x ) = ( x − x 0 ) 2 a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) are both analytic at x 0 . A singular point that is not regular is said to be an irregular singular point of the equation

Reconsider the patient satisfaction data in Table 1. Fit a multiple regression model using both patient age and severity as the regressors. (a) Test for significance of regression. (b) Test for the individual contribution of the two regressors. Are both regressor variables needed in the model? (c) Has adding severity to the model improved the quality of the model fit? Explain your answer.

The output voltage of a power supply is assumed to be normally distributed. Sixteen observations taken at random on voltage are as follows: 10.35, 9.30, 10.00, 9.96, 11.65, 12.00, 11.25, 9.58, 11.54, 9.95, 10.28, 8.37, 10.44, 9.25, 9.38, and 10.85. (a) Test the hypothesis that the mean voltage equals 12 V against a two-sided alternative using a = 0.05. (b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on μ. (c) Test the hypothesis that σ² = 11 using α = 0.05. (d) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on σ. (e) Construct a 95% upper confidence interval on σ. (f) Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for the output voltage?
