VIII) Tutorial Question [10 points] In the tutorial problems related to the evolution of disease severity you assumed that the peak pathogen concentration that we expect to observe is the value of $x$ that maximizes the function $R = TD$ where $T$ is the transmission rate as a function of $x$ and $D$ is the duration of infection as a function of $x$. Suppose that $T = a\sqrt{x}$ where $a$ is a positive constant and $D = \frac{1}{1+x}$. Assume that $x \in (0, \infty)$. (a) What is the value of $x$ that maximizes $R$? Be sure to justify that your answer yields a maximum. (b) Suppose a vaccine alters the functions $T$ and $D$ such that $T = \frac{a\sqrt{x}}{c}$ and $D = \frac{1}{1+(x/c)}$ where $c > 1$. Repeat part (a).
A research and development team in the Plexiglas industry are interested in relating the strength of a particular type of synthetic glass sheeting \( (Y) \) to the temperature in degrees Celsius \( \left(X_{1}\right) \) and pressure in pounds per square inch \( \left(X_{2}\right) \) used in the production process. \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline\( Y \) & 40.2 & 38.2 & 30.2 & 18.5 & 28.2 & 35.3 & 27.3 & 28.1 & 35.0 & 16.7 \\ \hline\( X_{1} \) & 280 & 240 & 245 & 210 & 260 & 260 & 220 & 215 & 250 & 210 \\ \hline\( X_{2} \) & 13 & 11 & 12 & 20 & 16 & 13 & 12 & 11 & 12 & 15 \\ \hline \end{tabular} (a) State an appropriate multiple regression model for the data. Specify all notation/symbols and assumptions. (4 Marks). (b) Represent the model using matrix and vector notation. (2 Marks). (c) Estimate the values of the parameters of the model. (4 Marks). (d) Write down the equation of the fitted multiple regression model. (2 Marks). (e) Test if the regression is significant. [Hint: Complete the ANOVA Table.] (4 Marks). (f) Test the significance of the coefficient for the temperature. (3 Marks). (g) Estimate the value of the strength of the Plexiglas when the temperature is \( 250^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and the pressure is 18 psi . (3 Marks). (h) Find a 95\% prediction interval for the strength when the temperature is \( 250^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and the pressure is 18 psi . (3 Marks).
P.4 (20 pts). Can you find the values of a and b that make f(x) continuous everywhere? where $$f(x) = \begin{cases} 1 + x^2, & x \le 1 \\ a \cos(x-1) + bx, & 1 \le x \le 2 \\ (x-2)^2 + 2b, & x \ge 2. \end{cases}$$ Explain why,

The unpaid balance at the start of a 28-day billing cycle was $.991.84 A $5,000 purchase was made on the first day of the billing cycle and a $50 payment was credited to the account on day 21. How much interest will be charged at the end of the billing cycle? Assume that the annual interest rate on a credit card is 25.27% and interest is calculated by the average daily balance method.
