In a smoking survey among boys between the ages of 12 and 17, \(78 \%\) prefer to date nonsmokers, \(1 \%\) prefer to date smokers, and \(21 \%\) dont care. Suppose seven such boys are selected randomly. Let \(X\) equal the number who prefer to date nonsmokers and \(Y\) equal the number who prefer to

Problem 36P The piston of a machine exerts a constant force on a ball as it moves horizontally through a distance of 15 cm. You use a motion detector to measure the speed of five different balls as they come off the piston; the data are shown below. Use theory to find two quantities that, when grap
