1)The doctor has determined that the reason you and your child fell ill is that you have a protein deficiency. Therefore, you determine to increase the amount of protein that you and your child consume. To begin this process, you have to figure out how much protein you should consume in a day. Assume that you are 30 years old and weigh 158 pounds and that your child is 2 years old and weighs 35 pounds. Try doing a Google search for the answer. List your results for the 158 pound female and the 2 year old 35 pound child. Child’s amount of daily protein _______ and your amount of daily protein________

The Snowplow Problem
To apply the techniques discussed in this chapter to real-world problems, it is neces-
sary to translate these problems into questions that can be answered mathematically.
The process of reformulating a real-world problem as a mathematical one often requires
making certain simplifying assumptions. To illustrate this, consider the following snow-
plow problem:
One morning it began to snow very hard and continued snowing steadily
throughout the day. A snowplow set out at 9:00 am to clear a road,
clearing 2 mi by 11:00 am and an additional mile by 1:00 pm. At what
time did it start snowing?
To solve this problem, you can make two physical assumptions concerning the rate
at which it is snowing and the rate at which the snowplow can clear the road. Because
it is snowing steadily, it is reasonable to assume it is snowing at a constant rate. From
the data given (and from our experience), the deeper the snow, the slower the snowplow
moves. With this in mind, assume that the rate (in mph) at which a snowplow can clear
a road is inversely proportional to the depth of the snow.

Two Snowplows: One day it began to snow exactly at noon at a heavy and steady rate. A snow plow left its garage at 1:00 pm, and another followed in its tracks at 2:00 pm. (a) At what time did the second snowplow crash into the first? To answer this questions, assume as in Project D that the rate (in mph) at which a snowplow can clear the road is inversely proportional to the depth fo the snow (and hence to the time elapsed since the road was clear of snow). [Hint: Begin by writing dierential equations for x(t) and y(t), the distances traveled by the first and second snowplows, respectively, at t hours past noon. To solve the dierential equation involving y, let t rather than y be the dependent variable!]
(b) Could the crash have been avoided by dispatching the second snowplow at 3:00 pm instead?

It is estimated by experts on agriculture that one-third of an acre of land is needed to provide food for one person on a continuing basis. It is also estimated that there are 10 billion acres of arable land on earth, and that therefore a maximum population of 30 billion people can be sustained if no other sources of food are known. The total world population at the beginning of 1970 was 3.6 billion. Assuming that the population continues to increase at the rate of 2 percent per year, when will the earth be full? What will be the population in the year 2000?

write a Matlab function file to solve system Ax=b by
using the output of the function lufac2a your function should have
inputs f=matrix return from lufac2a, piv=array return by lufac2a
and b=right hand side of your system.the only output for your
system should be x
guideline
1.use the column access for the matrix
entries
2. do not create any other matrix in your function-get
your data directly from the matrix passed into your
function
3.do not use Matlab command designed for solving
system
function file LUFAC2A GIVEN BELOW
function [f, rp, flag] = lufac2a(a)
% The purpose of this function is to apply Gaussian
elimination with
% partial pivoting to the input matrix a . (This
follows the LINPACK
% algorithm except uses elementary Gaussian
transformations from Matrix
% Computations). This function returns:
%
% f - matrix containing the information about the L
and U matrices in the
% factorization PA=LU
%
% rp - array containing information about the row
interchanges used in the
% elimination process
%
% flag - error flag (set to 0 if a is invertible, and
set to k>0 if a
% nonzero pivot could not be found for column
k)
%
% The calling sequence is [f, rp, flag] =
lufac2(a)
[m,n] = size(a);
if m ~= n
disp('The matrix must be a square matrix.')
return
end
f = a;
rp = zeros(n,1);
for j=1:n-1
[mx,p] = max(abs(f(j:n,j)));
if mx == 0
flag = j;
return
end
p = p + j - 1;
rp(j) = p;
if p~=j
temp = f(j,j:n);
f(j,j:n) = f(p,j:n);
f(p,j:n) = temp;
end
i=(j+1):n;
f(i,j) = f(i,j)/f(j,j);
f(i,i) = f(i,i) - f(i,j)*f(j,i);

Using the SATGPA data set in Stat2Data package. Test by using α= .05.
1) Create the following three variables and then print out all the six variables.
Create a new variable “SAT”, which is the sum of MathSAT and VerbalSAT.
Create second new variable “SATLevel”, and assign the value of “SATLevel” as 1 when
SAT<=1100, 2 when 1100<SAT<=1200, 3 when 1200<SAT<=1300, and 4 when
SAT>1300.
Create third new variable “GPALevel” and assign the value of “GPALevel” as 1 when
GPA<=2.8, 2 when 2.8<GPA<=3.3, 3 when 3.3<GPA<=3.5, and 4 when GPA>3.5
Print out all the data in the descending order of their GPALevel and the ascending order of
their SAT when GPALevel is the same.
2) Use the Chi-Square test to conclude if the SATLevel and
GPALevel are independent.
3) Compute the mean and variance of “GPA” for each level of
“GPALevel”, and compute the
correlation matrices for the four variables: MathSAT, VerbalSAT,
GPA and SAT.
4) Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the
mean of MathSAT is significantly greater
than the mean of VerbalSAT.
5) Test if the proportion of MathSAT greater than VerbalSAT is
0.6.

Carry out a numerical experiment to compare the accu- racy of Formulas (5) and (19) on a function f whose derivative can be computed precisely. Take a sequence of valuesforh,suchas4−n with0≦n≦12.
hint: For CE 4.3.4, use f(x) = sin x and x = 0.25, for example. Then the exact derivative is cos 0.25, so you can compare your results to it, compute errors, and study how they behave as h decreases. You may want to format your outputs so that for each n you print, on the same row, the values of h, approximate f 0 (0.25), error of the approximation, and the theoretically estimated error term (h 2/6 for formula (5) and h 4/30 for formula (19)—here we are using the fact that the derivatives of sin x are at most 1 in absolute value). Don’t forget to discuss your findings!
f′(x)≈ 1 [f(x+h)− f(x−h)] (5)
f′(x)≈ 1 [f(x+h)− f(x−h)] /2h − 1 /12h(f(x +2h)−2[f(x +h)− f(x −h)]− f(x −2h)) (19)
