- Respiratory Rate Researchers have found that the 95 th percentile the value at which 95% of the data are at or below for respiratory rates in breath per minute during the first 3 years of infancy are given by y=101.82411-0.0125995x+0.00013401x2 for awake infants and y=101.72858-0.0139928x+0.00017646x2 for sleeping infants, where x is the age in months. Source: Pediatrics. a. What is the domain for each function? b. For each respiratory rate, is the rate decreasing or increasing over the first 3 years of life? Hint: Is the graph of the quadratic in the exponent opening upward or downward? Where is the vertex? c. Verify your answer to part b using a graphing calculator. d. For a 1- year-old infant in the 95 th percentile, how much higher is the walking respiratory rate then the sleeping respiratory rate? e. f.arrow_forwardFind variance of Y2arrow_forwardFind the variance if X~N(0, 7) and 95% of the data are between -7 and 7.arrow_forward
- Suppose that X and Y are unknown with E(X) = 10, Var(X) = 4, E(Y) = 12 and Var (Y) = 100. In addition, suppose that the correlation coefficient of X with Y is .6. Then what is the variance of X + Y?arrow_forwardThe lines of regression of y on x and x on y are, respectively, y = x + 5 and 16x - 9y = 94. Find the variance of x if the variance of y is 16. Also, find the covariance of x and yarrow_forward
