Your work must be expressed in standard mathematical notation rather than calculator syntax.

Justifications require that you give mathematical reasons, and that you verify the needed conditions under which relevant theorems, properties, definitions, or tests are applied. Your work will be scored on the correctness and completeness of your methods as well as your answers. Answers without supporting work will usually not receive credit.
Unless otherwise specified, answers (numeric or algebraic) need not be simplified. If your answer is given as a decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point.

Itchy hand
disease” (IHD) – a disorder characterised by muscle aches and pains, fever and an itchy rash on the hands and
feet. Itchy hand disease is thought to have a higher incidence in older persons and smokers. Dr Boisty was
interested in determining whether healthcare workers were more at risk of developing IHD than were workers
in other sectors and decided to investigate this issue.
Five hundred health care workers were recruited into the study. They were compared to 700 office workers.
Both groups were followed for six months. During follow-up, any presentation to a doctor was notified to the
study team, who contacted the doctor to find out what the diagnosis was. The outcome of interest was IHD. Of
the 500 health care workers, 43 developed IHD during the study. Of the 700 office workers, 23 developed IHD
during the study.
Dr Boisty knew that many members of the community liked to take a supplement called Herbal Extract X (‘HEX’)
to try to “boost their immune system”. Herbal Extract X was also suspected of causing IHD. So, Dr Boisty
collected information on the use of HEX by the study participants.
Of the health care workers, 400 used HEX; 39 of these developed IHD. Of the office workers, 300 used HEX; 15
of these developed IHD.

The standard deviation alone does not measure relative variation. For example, a standard deviation of $1 would be considered
...
, a standard deviation of $1 would be considered large if it is describing the variability from store to store in the price of an ice cube tray. On the other hand, a standard deviation of $1 would be considered small if it is describing store-to-store variability in the price of a particular brand of freezer. A quantity designed to give a relative measure of variability is the coefficient of variation. Denoted by CV, the coefficient of variation expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean. It is defined by the formula CV = 100(s/ x ). Consider two samples. Sample 1 gives the actual weight (in ounces) of the contents of cans of pet food labeled as having a net weight of 8 oz. Sample 2 gives the actual weight (in pounds) of the contents of bags of dry pet food labeled as having a net weight of 50 lb. There are weights for the two samples.

I'm just confused as to which is the tangent line approximation because they seem to be different equations. If the integral is evaluated on the 2nd one it gives f(x)-f(x0) but the 2nd term for the first equation (dropping R1(x;x0) gives xf'(x0)-x0f'(x0) which seems to be a different term to me. So I'm wondering which is the tangent line equation (or if the tangent line equation has more than 1 unique form) or how the second one equals the first if they are equal.

88.Let's say that I have a data set of every time a certain person has coughed since the beginning of
...
his year. I'm looking for a formula that will tell me the probability that a person will cough x number of times in a given week.
I started with the Poisson Distribution, but Poisson doesn't seem to take into account standard deviation. To calculate the probability with Poisson, only the mean, expected value, and test value are needed, meaning the variance/standard deviation of the data could vary widely, and you'd still get the same probability distribution. For example, if someone coughed exactly 5 times everyday, you'd get the same probability distribution if this person alternated coughing 0 times one day, 10 times the next, 0 times the next day, 10 times the next, and so on.
Does my question make sense? Thanks for your help.
