Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS

Life Span Researchers have estimated the maximum life span (in years) for various species of mammals according to the formula

L ( E , P ) = 23 E 0.6 P − 0.267 ,

where E is the average brain mass and P is the average body mass (both in g ). Source: The Quarterly Review of Biology. Find L for the following species. Do these values seem reasonable?

a. Black rat, with E = 7.35   g , P = 150   g

b. Humans, with E = 14 , 100   g , P = 68 , 700   g

c.

Prices of diamonds are determined by what is known as the 4 Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. The prices of diamonds go up as the carat weight increases, but the increase is not smooth. For example, the difference between the size of a 0.99-carat diamond and a 1-carat diamond is undetectable to the naked human eye, but the price of a 1-carat diamond tends to be much higher than the price of a 0.99 diamond. In this question, we use two random samples of diamonds, 0.99 carats and 1 carat, each sample of size 23, and compare the average prices of the diamonds. In order to be able to compare equivalent units, we first divide the price for each diamond by 100 times its weight in carats. That is, for a 0.99-carat diamond, we divide the price by 99. For a 1 carat diamond, we divide the price by 100. The distributions and some sample statistics are shown below I have attached the questions and the chart in the images section. Thank you
During an annual physical, a doctor wants to determine not only the weight of her patients, but also the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI measures the ratio of weight to height. The formula for calculating BMI is:Where w = weight in pounds and h = height in inches. An adult whose BMI is: less than 18.5 is considered underweight, between 18.5 and 25 is considered normal weight, between 25 and 30 is overweight, and over 30 is considered obese.Determine which category an adult female who weighs 124 pounds and is 5 feet tall (60 inches) would be considered.   A overweight   B underweight   C normal weight   D obese
The first Batman movie was made over 50 years ago in 1966. Över the years, Batman has been played on screen by a number of actors and even by a Lego figure in the Lego Batman movies. In the original comic books, Batman was 188 centimeters tall (about 6'2") and weighed 95 kilograms (about 210 pounds). The article "50 Years of Batman on Film: How Has His Physique Changed?"t included the heights and weights of all of the onscreen Batmen in the table below. Batman Height (cm) Weight (kg) Comic book 188 95 Lego Batman 4 0.005 Adam West 188 91 Michael Keaton 178 72 Val Kilmer 183 93 George Clooney 180 78 Christian Bale 183 82 Ben Affleck 193 98 A USE SALT With x = height and y = weight, the equation of the least squares regression line is ŷ = -3.0112 + 0.4881x. %D (a) Calculate the residuals. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
