U.S. oil produced and imported The figure shows the rate at which U.S. oil was produced and imported between 1920 and 2005 in units of millions of barrels per day. The total amount of oil produced or imported is given by the area of the region under the corresponding curve. Be careful with units because both days and years are used in this data set.
- a. Use numerical
integration to estimate the amount of U.S. oil produced between 1940 and 2000. Use the method of your choice and experiment with values of n. - b. Use numerical integration to estimate the amount of oil imported between 1940 and 2000. Use the method of your choice and experiment with values of n.

- Grade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A 4 points B 3 points C 2 points D 1 point F 0 point For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit course earns 43=12 grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A students grade point average GPA for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)8=3.375. a Find a formula for the GPA of a student who earns a grade of A in a units of course work, B in b units, C in c units, D in d units and F in f units. b Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3-unit courses, B in one 4-unit courses and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardJanet measured the number of fluid ounces of water in a container after being left outdoors each day for a week.

- Calcium is essential to tree growth because it promotes the formation of wood and maintains cell walls. In 1990, the concentration of calcium in precipitation in a certain area was 0.15 milligrams per liter (mg/L). A random sample of 10 precipitation dates in 2007 results in the following data table. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) State the hypotheses for determining if the mean concentration of calcium precipitation has changed since 1990. Но Ho: 0.15 mg/L H1: 0.15 mg/L i Data Table (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean concentration of calcium precipitation.

- Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. 203 x days y km/100 72 76 32 14.7 94 11.7 19.5 5.3 35.6 (a) Verify that Ex = 477, Ey = 86.8, Ex? = 62,029, Ey2 = 2028.68, Exy = 11036.6, and r= 0.93853.
