- The average amount A (in pounds per person) of fish and shellfish consumed in the UnitedStates during the period 1992–2001 can be modeled by A = (3.2x + 260)/(52x + 3800) where x is the number of years since 1992.Rewrite the model so that it has only whole number coefficients.

- The heat index (HI) is an estimate of the temperature felt by the human body based on the actual measured air temperature T (in ºF) and relative humidity h,. It is given by HI =- 42 + 27 + 10h, – 0.22Th, – 1.997*h,?. a. If the air temperature in your area is 107°F with a relative humidity of 8%, how hot does your body feel? b. If the air temperature and relative humidity is known to be increasing at a rate of 2ºF per and 1% per sec, resp., how fast is the heat index changing at the moment when the air temperature in your area is 107ºF with a relative humidity of 8%? secarrow_forwardPrices 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.

- The intensity levels I of two earthquakes measured in a seismograph can be compared by the formula log(I1/I2) = M1 – M2 where M is the magnitude given by the Richter Scale. In August 2009, an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 hit Honshu, Japan. In March 2011, that same region experienced yet another more devastating earthquake, this time with a magnitude of 9.0. How many times greater was the intensity of the 2011 earthquake?
