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.

Repeat Example 5 when microphone A receives the sound 4 seconds before microphone B.
he following table shows the returns of two types of investments, stocks (x) and bonds (y), under two different scenarios: boom and recession. The frequency f(∙) indicated the probability of boom and recession, and it is the same for any type of investment. Suppose you diversify your investments by splitting your funds half and half between stocks and bonds. That is, z = 1⁄2x + 1⁄2y. Find E(z) and the riskiness (standard deviation) of z.

Individual A has a red die and B has a green die (both fair). If they each roll until they obtain five "doubles" (1-1,...,6-6), what is the pmf of X (= the total number of times a die is rolled)? What are E(X) and V(X)?
Assume that a population of patients contains 30% of individuals who suffer from a certain fatal syndrome Z, which simultaneously makes it uncomfortable for them to take a life-prolonging drug X. Let Z = 1 and Z = 0 represent, respectively, the presence and absence of the syndrome, Y = 1 and Y = 0 represent death and survival, respectively, and X = 1 and X = 0 represent taking and not taking the drug. Assume that patients not carrying the syndrome, Z = 0, die with probability 0.5 if they take the drug and with probability 0.5 if they do not. Patients carrying the syndrome, Z = 1, on the other hand, die with probability 0.7 if they do not take the drug and with probability 0.3 if they do take the drug. Further, patients having the syndrome are more likely to avoid the drug, with probabilities p(X = 1|Z=0) = 0.9 and P(X = 1|Z = 1) = 0.6 . Based on this model, compute the joint distributions and for all values of x, y, and z. Present the following joint distributions in tables. [Hint:…
An individual has a vNM utility function over money of u(x) = Vx, where x is the amount of money won in the lottery. She faces two scenarios: Scenario 1: With a 50% probability she wins $36. With a 50% probability she wins $16. Scenario 2: With a 50% probability she wins $0. With a 50% probability she wins $x. For what value of x will the risk premia be identical in these two scenarios?

6. (15) A individual, with a utility function InW and an initial wealth level Wo, is faced with a fair gamble of winning or losing Sh (where Wo > h> 0) with 50-50 chance. (a) Is this individual risk averse? Explain. (b) Suppose that the individual is willing to pay up to an amount of f in order to avoid such a gamble. Give the equation that determines f, and solve the equation for f (i.e., express fin terms of Wo and h). (c) Show that fincreases as h increases.
