x5 + x3 + x + 1 = 0

The optimal value of z is 44.25, which occurs at the point (1.33, 0). Therefore, the maximum value of z is 44.25.

We will introduce a slack variable y in the first constraint as follows:3x1 + 4x2 + y = 6The given LP now becomes:

Maximize z = x1 + 5x2Subject to:3x1 + 4x2 + y = 6x1 + 3x2 - s = 2x1, x2, y, s ≥ 0

The initial simplex table using the Big M method is:

cb b x1 x2 y s a1 a2 a3 M0M0 z 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0cb 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1a1 6 3 4 1 0 1 0 0 0 0a2 2 1 3 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0M 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

The M values for the slack variables are taken as M1 and those for the surplus variables are taken as M2, respectively.

In this example, the M values are taken as 10 and -10, respectively.

Next, we will select the most negative coefficient of the objective function, which is -5 in the current table, and the corresponding variable x2.

Using x2, we will get the minimum ratio value for the constraints and select the row with the minimum ratio value.

Since the minimum ratio value is 1.5 and is given by the first constraint, we will select the first row and perform the following operations:a2 = a2 - (1.5)a1 = -4.5 - (1.5) (-1) = -1.5s = s + (1.5)y = y + (1.5)(M2)

Now, the updated simplex table is:cb b x1 x2 y s a1 a2 a3 M0M0 z 0 1 0 -2.5 0 0 0 0 0 50.5cb 0 0 0 1.5 0 0 -1.5 0 0 1.5a1 3 3/4 1 1/4 0 0.25 0 -0.1875 0 0a3 10 0 0 0 0 0 -0.5 0.375 0 -0.375

The next variable to enter the basis is x1 since its coefficient in the objective function is negative.

We will select the row with the minimum ratio value, which is given by the third constraint and is equal to 0.375.

Therefore, we will select the third row and perform the following operations:a1 = a1/0.75y = y - (0.75)s = s - (0.75)(M2)x2 = x2 - (0.25)(M2)

Now, the updated simplex table is:

cb b x1 x2 y s a1 a2 a3 M0M0 z 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0.75 0 44.25cb 0 0 0 -2.5 0 1 0.5 0 0 -0.5a3 10 0 0 0 0 0 -0.5 0.375 0 -0.375a1 4 1 1/3 1/3 0 -0.333 -0.5 0.25 0 0

The optimal solution is z = 44.25, x1 = 1.33, x2 = 0, y = 0.5, and s = 0.

The optimal solution is unique. The optimal value of z is 44.25, which occurs at the point (1.33, 0).

Therefore, the maximum value of z is 44.25.

The test statistic is negative, we can conclude that the sample mean is less than the claimed value of 36. However, we cannot make a decision without knowing the critical value.

Hypothesis testing is used to determine whether there is enough statistical evidence to support or reject a claim made about a population parameter. When carrying out hypothesis testing, we make use of a test statistic and a critical value to make a decision. The test statistic is obtained from the sample data while the critical value is obtained from a statistical table based on the significance level and the degree of freedom.

In the scenario presented, we are interested in determining whether a company's claim that the average value of 36 is correct or not. In order to do this, we carry out a hypothesis test.

The null hypothesis is the claim made by the company, that the average value of 36 is correct. The alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null hypothesis, which in this case is that the average value of 36 is not correct.

H0: μ = 36
H1: μ ≠ 36

We are not told the sample size, the significance level or the degree of freedom, which are all required to determine the critical value for the test. However, we are given the test statistic which is -1.67. We can use this value to make a decision.

If the test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the test statistic is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis.

Since the test statistic is negative, we can conclude that the sample mean is less than the claimed value of 36. However, we cannot make a decision without knowing the critical value.

The system of linear equations is inconsistent (has no solution) for any value of 'a' that satisfies a = -15 ± √238.

To determine the value of 'a' such that the system of linear equations is inconsistent (has no solution), we need to check if the system of equations is consistent for all values of 'a'. We can use the determinant of the coefficient matrix to determine if the system is consistent or inconsistent. The coefficient matrix is:

[1 2 3]

[3 5 4]

[2 3 a²]

To check for inconsistency, we need to find the determinant of this matrix and set it equal to zero. If the determinant is equal to zero, the system is inconsistent.

Determinant of the coefficient matrix: det(A) = 1(5a² - 12) - 2(3a² - 8) + 3(3 - 10a)

= 5a² - 12 - 6a² + 16 + 9 - 30a

= -a² - 30a + 13

Now, we set the determinant equal to zero and solve for 'a': -a² - 30a + 13 = 0

This is a quadratic equation. We can solve it by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Factoring is not feasible in this case, so we'll use the quadratic formula: a = (-(-30) ± √((-30)² - 4(-1)(13))) / (2(-1))

a = (30 ± √(900 + 52)) / (-2)

a = (30 ± √952) / (-2)

a = (30 ± √(4 * 238)) / (-2)

a = (30 ± 2√238) / (-2)

a = -15 ± √238

Therefore, the system of linear equations is inconsistent (has no solution) for any value of 'a' that satisfies a = -15 ± √238.

Among the given options, matrix c: L = [3 2][4 9] is the correct matrix that represents the lower triangular part of the LU-decomposition of matrix A. The matrix L in the LU-decomposition of matrix A can be determined by performing the elimination process to obtain a lower triangular matrix.

In LU-decomposition, the goal is to express the given matrix A as a product of a lower triangular matrix (L) and an upper triangular matrix (U). To find the matrix L, we perform the elimination process on matrix A until we obtain a lower triangular matrix.

Given matrix A = [2 8][-2 -5], we can perform Gaussian elimination to obtain the upper triangular matrix U. During this process, the entries below the main diagonal are eliminated using row operations. The resulting upper triangular matrix U will have all zeros below the main diagonal.

Simultaneously, we keep track of the row operations performed and construct the lower triangular matrix L. The entries of L are obtained by considering the multipliers used in the elimination process. These multipliers are the factors that eliminate the entries below the main diagonal.

After performing the elimination process, we find that the matrix L = [3 2][4 9] satisfies the condition of being a lower triangular matrix for the given matrix A.

To evaluate the Laplacian of r^(-1) with respect to x, y, and z, we need to compute the second partial derivatives with respect to each variable and then add them together.

We start by finding the first partial derivatives of r^(-1):

∂/∂x (r^(-1)) = ∂/∂x ((x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^(-1))

= -(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)^(-2) * 2x

= -2x(r^4)

Similarly, we find the first partial derivatives with respect to y and z:

∂/∂y (r^(-1)) = -2y(r^4)

∂/∂z (r^(-1)) = -2z(r^4)

Next, we compute the second partial derivatives:

∂²/∂x² (r^(-1)) = ∂/∂x (-2x(r^4))

= -2(r^4) + (-2x)(4r^3)(2x)

= -2(r^4) - 16x²(r^3)

∂²/∂y² (r^(-1)) = -2(r^4) - 16y²(r^3)

∂²/∂z² (r^(-1)) = -2(r^4) - 16z²(r^3)

Finally, we add these second partial derivatives together:

∂²/∂x² (r^(-1)) + ∂²/∂y² (r^(-1)) + ∂²/∂z² (r^(-1))

= -2(r^4) - 16x²(r^3) - 2(r^4) - 16y²(r^3) - 2(r^4) - 16z²(r^3)

= -6(r^4) - 16(r^3)(x² + y² + z²)

= -6(r^4) - 16(r^3)(r^2)

= -6(r^4) - 16(r^5)

= -6r^4 - 16r^5

Therefore, the Laplacian of r^(-1) with respect to x, y, and z is -6r^4 - 16r^5.

Answer : i. P(X > 2) = 5/18 ii. P(1 < X < 5) = 5/18 iii. P(X > 2 | X < 5) = 1/3

Problem 1:

Let's denote the events as follows:

A: Taught by method A

B: Taught by method B

F: Fails to learn the skill correctly

We need to find the probability of being taught by method A given that the worker failed to learn the skill correctly, P(A|F).

Using Bayes' theorem:

P(A|F) = P(F|A) * P(A) / P(F)

P(F|A) = 0.20 (failure rate for method A)

P(A) = 0.70 (method A is used 70% of the time)

P(F) = P(F|A) * P(A) + P(F|B) * P(B)

      = 0.20 * 0.70 + 0.10 * 0.30

      = 0.14 + 0.03

      = 0.17

Now we can calculate P(A|F):

P(A|F) = P(F|A) * P(A) / P(F)

      = 0.20 * 0.70 / 0.17

      ≈ 0.8235

Therefore, the probability that the worker was taught by method A given that he/she failed to learn the skill correctly is approximately 0.8235.

Problem 2:

When two fair dice are rolled together, the sample space consists of 36 equally likely outcomes (6 faces on each die).

To obtain the probability distribution for the difference between the results of the two dice, we need to calculate the probability for each possible outcome.

Let X represent the difference between the results of the two dice (X = |D1 - D2|).

X = 0: The two dice show the same result (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), or (6,6). There are 6 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 0) = 6/36 = 1/6

X = 1: The dice show adjacent numbers (1,2), (2,1), (2,3), (3,2), (3,4), (4,3), (4,5), (5,4), (5,6), or (6,5). There are 10 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 1) = 10/36 = 5/18

X = 2: The dice show numbers with a difference of 2 (1,3), (3,1), (2,4), (4,2), (3,5), (5,3), (4,6), or (6,4). There are 8 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 2) = 8/36 = 2/9

X = 3: The dice show numbers with a difference of 3 (1,4), (4,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,6), or (6,3). There are 6 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 3) = 6/36 = 1/6

X = 4: The dice show numbers with a difference of 4 (1,5), (5,1), (2,6), or (6,2). There are 4 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 4) = 4/36 = 1/9

X = 5: The dice show numbers with a difference of 5 (1,6) or (6,1). There are 2 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 5) =

2/36 = 1/18

X = 6: The dice show numbers with a difference of 6 (2,6) or (6,2). There are 2 favorable outcomes.

P(X = 6) = 2/36 = 1/18

Now we can answer the specific questions:

i. P(X > 2) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

            = 1/6 + 1/9 + 1/18 + 1/18

            = 5/18

ii. P(1 < X < 5) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

               = 2/9 + 1/6 + 1/9

               = 5/18

iii. P(X > 2 | X < 5) = P(X = 3) / P(X < 5)

                    = 1/6 / (1/6 + 1/9 + 1/9)

                    = 1/6 / (9/18)

                    = 1/6 / 1/2

                    = 1/3

Therefore:

i. P(X > 2) = 5/18

Using the cosine function, we find that the rafter length is approximately 24.54 ft. Therefore, the rafters for the building with a width of 24 ft and a pitch of 2/9 need to be approximately 24.54 ft long.

To determine the length of the rafters for a building with a width of 24 ft and a pitch of 2/9, we need to calculate the roof's slope angle. With this information, we can use trigonometry to find the length of the rafters.

The pitch of a roof is typically expressed as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run. In this case, the pitch is given as 2/9.

To find the slope angle, we can calculate the arctangent of the pitch ratio:

slope angle = arctan(2/9)

Using a calculator, the slope angle is approximately 12.47 degrees. Once we have the slope angle, we can apply trigonometric functions to determine the length of the rafters. The length of the rafters can be found by dividing the width of the building by the cosine of the slope angle:

rafter length = width / cos(slope angle)

Substituting the given values, we get:

rafter length = 24 ft / cos(12.47°)

Step 1: Calculate the direction vector of the line. Direction vector can be found by taking the difference between the x, y, and z coordinates of the two points. Direction vector `d` = Q - P = (4,-2,3) - (0,-2,3) = (4, 0, 0)

Step 2: Determine the parametric equations of the line.We can write the parametric equations in terms of a variable `t`.Let the position vector of any point on the line be `r` = `OP`.Where, `O` is the origin and `P` is the point `(0, -2, 3)`.So, `OP = `.

We can represent this vector as the sum of two vectors: `OP = OA + AP`, where `OA = <0,0,0>` (the origin) and `AP = `.Since the direction vector `d = <4,0,0>` is parallel to the `x`-axis, we can write:x = 0 + 4ty = (-2) + 0tz = 3 + 0t

Therefore, the parametric equations of the line passing through P and Q are:x = 4ty = -2z = 3We can also write the vector equation of the line as:`r` = `a` + `td`where, `a` is any point on the line (we can take `a` as P).

So, substituting the values, we get:`r` = `(0,-2,3)` + `t(4,0,0)`Therefore, the vector equation of the line passing through P and Q is:`r` = `(4t, -2, 3)`

Hence, the vector equation of the line passing through P (0, -2, 3) and Q (4,-2,3) is `r` = `(4t, -2, 3)` and the parametric equations are:x = 4ty = -2z = 3

The first row has 100 seats. Using this information, we can determine that the 19th row will have 214 seats. To find the total number of seats in the auditorium, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series. The auditorium will have a total of 5,685 seats.

The first row of the auditorium has 100 seats. As we move towards the rear, each row has 6 more seats than the previous row. This implies that the number of seats in each row forms an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 6.

To find the number of seats in the 19th row, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:

an = a1 + (n-1)d,

where an represents the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the position of the term in the sequence, and d is the common difference.

In this case, a1 = 100, n = 19, and d = 6. Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

a19 = 100 + (19-1)6

= 100 + 18*6

= 100 + 108

= 208.

Therefore, the 19th row will have 208 seats.

To find the total number of seats in the auditorium, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an),

where Sn represents the sum of the series, n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the last term.

In this case, n = 30 (number of rows), a1 = 100 (number of seats in the first row), and an = 208 (number of seats in the 19th row).

Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

Sn = (30/2)(100 + 208)

= 15(308)

= 4,620.

Therefore, the auditorium will have a total of 4,620 seats.

The synergy from the merger is the increase in annual after-tax cash flow, which is $345,000. To determine the cost of acquisition using stocks, we need to calculate the value of 35% of Firm A's stock.

The synergy from the merger is the increase in annual after-tax cash flow, which is $345,000. To calculate the value of Firm T to Firm A, we need to determine the present value of this increased cash flow. Using the discounted cash flow method with a discount rate of 8%, we divide the increased cash flow by the discount rate to get the value: $345,000 / 0.08 = $4,312,500.

If Firm A chooses to acquire Firm T using 35% of its stock, we need to calculate the value of this stock. The value of Firm A's stock is $19 million, so 35% of that is 0.35 * $19 million = $6.65 million.

To calculate the NPV for the cash acquisition, we subtract the cost of acquisition ($11.5 million) from the present value of the increased cash flow ($4,312,500). The NPV is then $4,312,500 - $11.5 million = -$7,187,500.

For the equity acquisition, we subtract the value of Firm T to Firm A ($4,312,500) from the value of Firm A's stock used for acquisition ($6.65 million). The NPV is $6.65 million - $4,312,500 = $2,337,500.

Based on the NPV calculations, the cash acquisition has a negative NPV of -$7,187,500, while the equity acquisition has a positive NPV of $2,337,500. Therefore, Firm A should choose the equity acquisition approach, as it results in a positive NPV and is more financially advantageous.

Therefore, the value of T to A is $4,312,500, the cost to A for acquisition using stocks is $6.65 million, and the NPV for the equity acquisition is $2,337,500, indicating that Firm A should proceed with the equity acquisition approach.

{3y - 18z = -12 ...(4)

{5x - 4y - 11z = 1 ...(5)

Let's continue by simplifying equation (4) by dividing it by 3:

y - 6z = -4 ...(6)

Now, we can express the variable y in terms of z using equation (6):

y = 6z - 4 ...(7)

Substituting equation (7) into equation (1), we get:

-x + (6z - 4) + z = -1

-x + 7z - 4 = -1

-x + 7z = 3

Multiplying the above equation by -1, we have:

x - 7z = -3 ...(8)

The system of equations can be summarized as follows:

x - 7z = -3 ...(8)

y = 6z - 4 ...(7)

3y - 18z = -12 ...(4)

5x - 4y - 11z = 1 ...(5)

From these equations, we can see that the variables x, y, and z are expressed in terms of z. Therefore, the system has infinitely many solutions. The complete solution to the system is:

x = -3 + 7z

y = 6z - 4

z = z

So, the solution set is {(-3 + 7z, 6z - 4, z)}, where z can be any real number. The correct choice is B. There are infinitely many solutions. The solution set is {(-3 + 7z, 6z - 4, z)}, where z is any real number.

We are given values for the coefficients a, b, and c in a quadratic equation, and we need to evaluate the expression √(b² - 4ac) and simplify it. The given values are a = 4, b = -2, and c = 7. We need to select the correct simplified form of the expression from the given options: a. 3i√6, b. 6√3, c. -6√3, d. 6i√3.

To evaluate √(b² - 4ac), we substitute the given values a = 4, b = -2, and c = 7 into the expression. We get √((-2)² - 4 * 4 * 7), which simplifies to √(4 - 112), further simplifying to √(-108).

Now, we can simplify the expression √(-108). Since -108 is negative, we can write it as -1 * 108. Taking the square root, we have √(-1 * 108), which simplifies to √(-1) * √(108). The square root of -1 is denoted as i (the imaginary unit). Therefore, the expression becomes i * √(108).

Further simplifying, we have i * √(36 * 3), which can be written as i * √(36) * √(3). The square root of 36 is 6, so the expression becomes 6i * √(3).

Therefore, the correct simplified form of √(b² - 4ac) for the given values of a = 4, b = -2, and c = 7 is d. 6i√3.

The equation y' = y² - 6y - 27 has two critical points: y = -3 and y = 9. The critical point at y = -3 is unstable, while the critical point at y = 9 is stable.

To find the critical points, we set the derivative equal to zero:

y' = y² - 6y - 27 = 0

Factoring the equation, we have:

(y - 9)(y + 3) = 0

So the critical points are y = -3 and y = 9.

To determine the stability of each critical point, we can examine the sign of the derivative around the critical points. Evaluating the derivative at y = -3 and y = 9, we find:

y'(-3) = (-3)² - 6(-3) - 27 = 18

y'(9) = (9)² - 6(9) - 27 = -18

Since y'(-3) is positive and y'(9) is negative, we classify the critical point at y = -3 as unstable and the critical point at y = 9 as stable. The unstable critical point at y = -3 means that solutions near this point will diverge away from it, while the stable critical point at y = 9 indicates that solutions near this point will converge towards it.

To identify whether each value of x is a discontinuity of the function, we need to analyze the behavior of the function at those points.

The given function is f(x) = (5x^3 + 5x^2) / (6x - x^2)

Let's evaluate the function at each value of x:

For x = -3:

f(-3) = (5(-3)^3 + 5(-3)^2) / (6(-3) - (-3)^2) = -117 / 9 = -13

For x = -2:

f(-2) = (5(-2)^3 + 5(-2)^2) / (6(-2) - (-2)^2) = -40 / -8 = 5

For x = 0:

f(0) = (5(0)^3 + 5(0)^2) / (6(0) - (0)^2) = 0 / 0

For x = 2:

f(2) = (5(2)^3 + 5(2)^2) / (6(2) - (2)^2) = 60 / 8 = 7.5

For x = 3:

f(3) = (5(3)^3 + 5(3)^2) / (6(3) - (3)^2) = 180 / 9 = 20

For x = 5:

f(5) = (5(5)^3 + 5(5)^2) / (6(5) - (5)^2) = 650 / 15 = 43.333

Now, let's analyze the results:

At x = -3, there is neither an asymptote nor a hole. It is a valid point on the graph.

At x = -2, there is neither an asymptote nor a hole. It is a valid point on the graph.

At x = 0, we have an indeterminate form of 0/0. This indicates a potential hole in the graph.

At x = 2, there is neither an asymptote nor a hole. It is a valid point on the graph.

At x = 3, there is neither an asymptote nor a hole. It is a valid point on the graph.

At x = 5, there is neither an asymptote nor a hole. It is a valid point on the graph.

Therefore, the discontinuity classifications are as follows:

x = -3: Neither asymptote nor hole.

x = -2: Neither asymptote nor hole.

x = 0: Potential hole.

x = 2: Neither asymptote nor hole.

x = 3: Neither asymptote nor hole.

To find the value of t in the given interval that satisfies the equation, we need to determine the values of t where the sine function equals the given value.

(a) To solve the equation sin(t) = 3/2, we need to find the values of t in the interval [0, 2π) where the sine function equals 3/2. However, the sine function only takes values between -1 and 1, so there is no value of t in the interval [0, 2π) that satisfies this equation. Therefore, the answer is (d) No solution.

(b) To solve the equation sin(t) = -1, we need to find the values of t in the interval [0, 2π) where the sine function equals -1. By referring to the unit circle or trigonometric values, we find that the solution is t = 3π/2. This angle corresponds to the point on the unit circle where the y-coordinate is -1.

Therefore, for the equation sin(t) = 3/2, there is no solution in the interval [0, 2π). And for the equation sin(t) = -1, the value of t in the interval [0, 2π) that satisfies the equation is t = 3π/2.

Therefore, the value of the triple integral of f(x, y, z) = cos(x² + y²) over the solid cylinder is 0.

To evaluate the triple integral of f(x, y, z) = cos(x² + y²) over the given solid cylinder, we need to set up the integral in cylindrical coordinates.

The solid cylinder has a height of 4 and a base of radius 3 centered on the z-axis at z = -1. In cylindrical coordinates, we have:

0 ≤ ρ ≤ 3 (radius bounds)

0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π (angle bounds)

-1 ≤ z ≤ 3 (height bounds)

Therefore, the integral becomes:

∫∫∫ f(ρ, θ, z) ρ dz dθ dρ

Now, we substitute the function f(x, y, z) = cos(x² + y²) into the integral:

∫∫∫ cos(ρ²) ρ dz dθ dρ

Integrating with respect to z:

∫∫ cos(ρ²) [z] from -1 to 3 dθ dρ

Simplifying the bounds for z:

∫∫ 4ρ cos(ρ²) dθ dρ

Integrating with respect to θ:

∫ 0 to 2π [4ρ cos(ρ²) dθ] dρ

Since the integrand is not dependent on θ, we can simplify further:

∫ 0 to 2π 4ρ cos(ρ²) dρ

Now, we can integrate with respect to ρ:

[2 sin(ρ²)] evaluated from 0 to 2π

Substituting the limits of integration, we get:

2 sin((2π)²) - 2 sin(0)

Simplifying further:

2 sin(4π) - 2 sin(0)

Since sin(4π) is equal to 0 and sin(0) is also equal to 0, we have:

We subtract this probability from 1 to get the probability that the device will fail during the first 12 years: P(failure within 12 years) = 1 - P(X > 12)^2

To calculate the probability that the device consisting of the two sensors connected in series will fail during the first 12 years of its life, we can use the concept of complementary probability. The complementary probability is the probability that the event of interest does not occur. In this case, we want to find the probability that both sensors do not fail within the first 12 years.

Let's denote the lifetime of each sensor as X1 and X2, where X1 and X2 follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter 3.7 and scale parameter 12. Since the sensors are independent, the probability that both sensors survive beyond 12 years can be calculated by finding the product of their individual survival probabilities.

The survival probability of a single sensor beyond 12 years can be obtained by subtracting the cumulative distribution function (CDF) from 1. The CDF of a Gamma distribution with shape parameter α and scale parameter β is given by:

CDF(x) = P(X ≤ x) = 1 - exp(-x/β)^α

Substituting α = 3.7 and β = 12, we can calculate the survival probability of a single sensor beyond 12 years as:

P(Xi > 12) = 1 - exp(-(12/12))^3.7

Next, we calculate the probability that both sensors survive beyond 12 years by taking the product of their individual survival probabilities:

P(X1 > 12 and X2 > 12) = P(X1 > 12) * P(X2 > 12)

Since the two sensors are identical and independent, their survival probabilities are the same:

P(X1 > 12 and X2 > 12) = P(X > 12)^2

Now, we can substitute the values and calculate the probability:

P(X > 12)^2 = (1 - exp(-12/12))^3.7 * (1 - exp(-12/12))^3.7

Simplifying the expression:

P(X > 12)^2 = (1 - exp(-1))^3.7 * (1 - exp(-1))^3.7

The given equation of the conic section is 4x² - 9y² + 16x + 18y = 29. To determine the center, foci, vertices, and graph the conic section, we need to rewrite the equation in standard form by completing the square.

First, let's rearrange the equation:

4x² + 16x - 9y² + 18y = 29

To complete the square for the x-terms, we add and subtract (16/2)² = 64 to the equation:

4(x² + 4x + 4) - 9y² + 18y = 29 + 4(4) Next, let's complete the square for the y-terms by adding and subtracting (18/2)² = 81 to the equation:

4(x² + 4x + 4) - 9(y² - 2y + 1) = 29 + 4(4) - 9(1)

Simplifying further, we get:

4(x + 2)² - 9(y - 1)² = 12

Dividing both sides by 12, we obtain the standard form:

(x + 2)²/3 - (y - 1)²/4/3 = 1

From the standard form, we can identify that the conic section is an ellipse. The center of the ellipse is (-2, 1). To find the vertices, we can use the formula a = √(4/3) and b = √(4/3). The distance from the center to each vertex is a = √(4/3) in the x-direction and b = √(4/3) in the y-direction. The foci can be found using the formula c = √(a² - b²). Finally, we can plot the graph of the ellipse with these values.

Approximately 25% of cases are attributed to traffic accidents, 18% to death due to disease, 37% to stab murders, and 20% to murder with a firearm.

To estimate the proportion of cases according to the type of death, we can use the sample data and calculate the sample proportions for each category.

Given:

Sample size (n) = 500

1. Traffic accidents (125)

2. Death due to disease (90)

3. Stab murders (185)

4. Murder with a firearm (100)

To estimate the proportion for each category, we divide the number of cases in each category by the total sample size:

1. Proportion of traffic accidents = 125/500 = 0.25

2. Proportion of death due to disease = 90/500 = 0.18

3. Proportion of stab murders = 185/500 = 0.37

4. Proportion of murder with a firearm = 100/500 = 0.20

Interpretation:

Based on the sample data, we estimate that approximately 25% of cases are attributed to traffic accidents, 18% to death due to disease, 37% to stab murders, and 20% to murder with a firearm. These estimates provide an indication of the proportion of cases in the population based on the sample data.
