A shipping company charges $6 to ship a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound. Which equation represents the cost, in dollars, of shipping a package that weighs x pounds?
F(x) - 6+2[x-1), where x > 0
F(x) - 6+2LX-1], where x > 0
f(x) - 6+2[x+17, where x > 0
f(x) - 6+2Lx+1), where x > 0

Each morning papa notes the birds feeding on his bird feeder. so far this month he has see. 59 blue jays, 68 black crows, 12 red robin's and 1 cardinal. what is the probability of a blue jay being the next bird papa sees

The first few steps in solving the quadratic equation 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x by completing the square are shown. 9x2 + 49x = 22 ? 5x 9x2 + 54x = 22 9(x2 + 6x) = 22 which is the best step to do next to solve the equation by completing the square? 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 25 9(x2 + 6x + 3) = 49 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 31 9(x2 + 6x + 9) = 103

Consider the linear model for a two-stage nested design with b nested in a as given below. yijk=\small \mu + \small \taui + \small \betaj(i) + \small \varepsilon(ij)k , for i=1,; j= ; k=1, assumption: \small \varepsilon(ij)k ~ iid n (0, \small \sigma2) ; \small \taui ~ iid n(0, \small \sigmat2 ); \tiny \sum_{j=1}^{b} \small \betaj(i) =0; \small \varepsilon(ij)k and \small \taui are independent. using only the given information, derive the least square estimator of \small \betaj(i) using the appropriate constraints (sum to zero constraints) and derive e(msb(a) ).
