Use the NOAA data set provided, to examine the variable DX32. DX32 represents the number of days in that month whose maximum temperature was less than 32 degrees F. The mean of DX32 during this time period was 3.6. Using Excel, StatCrunch, etc., draw a histogram for DX32. Does this variable have an approximately normal (i. e. bell-shaped) distribution? A normal distribution should have most of its values clustered close to its mean. What kind of distribution does DX32 have? Take a random sample of size 30 and calculate the mean of your sample. Did you get a number close to the real mean of 3.6? Although few individual data values are close to 3.6, why could you expect that your sample mean could be? Be sure to include the mean that you calculated for your random sample. Imagine that you repeated this 99 more times so that you now have 100 different sample means. (You don’t have to do this … just imagine it!). If you plotted the 100 sample means on a histogram, do you think that this histogram will be approximately normal (bell-shaped)? How can you justify your answer?

To find the extreme values of a function f(x. y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x, y)=xy

The rate of decay of a radioactive substance depends upon the amount present initially. the mass y (mg) of the radioactive substance cobalt-60 present in a sample at time t (years) is represented by the exponential equation y=50e −0.1315 t . answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. how does the exponential equation above compare to the equation for simple interest that is compounded continuously? explain the similarities. 2. what is the initial amount of cobalt-60 in the sample? 2. how much cobalt-60 is left after 8.4 years? show your work. 3. what would be the y-intercept of the graph? what does it represent? 4. after how many years will the amount of cobalt-60 left be 6.25 mg? explain what happens to the cobalt-60 after 50 years? 5. discuss some “real-world” examples and uses of cobalt-60
