Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose a population of rodents satisfies the differential equation dP 2 kP dt = . Initially there are P (0 2 ) = rodents, and their number is increasing at the rate of 1 dP dt = rodent per month when there are P = 10 rodents.  

How long will it take for this population to grow to a hundred rodents? To a thousand rodents?

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the initial condition when dp/dt = 1, p = 10 to get k;

[tex]\frac{dp}{dt} =kp^2\\\\1=k(10)^2\\\\k=\frac{1}{100}[/tex]

Seperate the differential equation and solve for the constant C.

[tex]\frac{dp}{p^2}=kdt\\\\-\frac{1}{p}=kt+C\\\\\frac{1}{p}=-kt+C\\\\p=-\frac{1}{kt+C} \\\\2=-\frac{1}{0+C}\\\\-\frac{1}{2}=C\\\\p(t)=-\frac{1}{\frac{t}{100}-\frac{1}{2} }\\\\p(t)=-\frac{1}{\frac{2t-100}{200} }\\\\-\frac{200}{2t-100}[/tex]

You have 100 rodents when:

[tex]100=-\frac{200}{2t-100} \\\\2t-100=-\frac{200}{100} \\\\2t=98\\\\t=49\ months[/tex]

You have 1000 rodents when:

[tex]1000=-\frac{200}{2t-100} \\\\2t-100=-\frac{200}{1000} \\\\2t=99.8\\\\t=49.9\ months[/tex]

Tiffany is 140 miles away from Maggie. They are traveling towards each other. If Maggie travels 5 mph faster than Tiffany and they meet after 4 hours how fast was each traveling

Answers

Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.

Simplify the equation.

(x+5) + x = 35    Divide both sides by 4

2x+5 = 35         Combine like terms

2x = 30              Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 15                 Divide both sides by 2

Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.

The supreme choice pizza at Pizza Paradise contains 2 different meats and 4 different vegetables. The customer can select any one of 5 types of crust. If there are 4 meats and 9 vegetables to choose from, how many different supreme choice pizzas can be made?

Answers

Answer:

756

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem. Combination has to do with selection.

If we are to select r objects out of a oiil of n objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways as shown;

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

From the question, there are 4 meats and 9 vegetables to choose from. If the customer is to select 2 different meats and 4 different vegetables from the available ones, this can be done as shown

4C2 (selection of 2 different meats from 4meats) and 9C4(selection of 4 different vegetables from 9 total vegetables)

The total number of ways this can be done is 4C2 × 9C4

= 4!/(4-2)!2! × 9!/(9-4)!4!

= 4!/2!2! × 9!/5!4!

= 4×3×2!/2!×2 × 9×8×7×6×5!/5!×4×3×2

= 6 × 9×7×2

= 756ways

This means 756 different supreme choice pizzas can be made.

Answers

Answer:

After 1st year, the age distribution will be

After 2nd year, the age distribution will be

[tex]x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5256\\396\\27\end{array}\right][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A population has the following characteristics.

A total of 25% of the population survives the first year. Of that 25%, 75% survives the second year.

The average number of offspring for each member of the population is 3 the first year, 5 the second year, and 3 the third year.

From the above information, we can construct a transition age matrix.

[tex]A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

The population now consists of 144 members in each of the three age classes.

From the above information, we can construct the current age matrix.

[tex]x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}144\\144\\144\end{array}\right][/tex]

How many members will there be in each age class in 1 year?

After 1st year, the age distribution will be

[tex]x_1 = A \cdot x[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}144\\144\\144\end{array}\right][/tex]

The matrix multiplication is possible since the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of second matrix.

[tex]x_1 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1584\\36\\108\end{array}\right][/tex]

After 2nd year, the age distribution will be

[tex]x_2 = A \cdot x_1[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&3\\0.25&0&0\\0&0.75&0\end{array}\right] \times \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1584\\36\\108\end{array}\right][/tex]

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

[tex]P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:  

[tex]X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)[/tex]  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

[tex]P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

[tex]nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}[/tex]  

We want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(X \geq 1)[/tex]

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

8. Nate bought two large pizzas and one small pizza and paid $36. If the difference in cost between a large and small pizza is $5.25, how much does a small pizza cost?

Answers

Answer:

$8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to propose a system of equations with the information provided to us.

two large pizzas and one small pizza cost $36:

[tex]2L+S=36[/tex]

where

[tex]L[/tex]: Large pizza

[tex]S:[/tex] Small pizza

and the difference in cost between a large and small pizza is $5.25:

[tex]L-S=5.25[/tex]

our system of equations is:

[tex]2L+S=36[/tex]

[tex]L-S=5.25[/tex]

We are asked for the price of small pizza, so we must manipulate the equations in such a way that adding or subtracting them removes the variable L and we are left with an equation for S.

Multiply the second equation of the system by -2

[tex](-2)(L-S=5.25)\\\\-2L+2S=-10.5[/tex]

and now we sum this with the first equation of the system:

[tex]-2L+2S=-10.5\\+(2L+S=36)\\-------------\\-2L+2L+2S+S=-10.5+36[/tex]

simplifying the result:

[tex]3S=25.5[/tex]

and solving for S (the price of a small pizza)

[tex]S=25.5/3\\S=8.5[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] m=\frac{4-6}{8-3}= -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

And for this case we can use the first point to find the intercept like this:

[tex] 6 = -\frac{2}{5}(3) +b[/tex]

And solving we got:

[tex] b = 6 +\frac{6}{5}= \frac{36}{5}[/tex]

And then the line equation would be given by:

[tex] y = -\frac{2}{5}x +\frac{36}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following two points given:

[tex] (x_1 =2, y_1 = 6), (x_2 = 2, y_2 = 4)[/tex]

And for this case we want an equation for a line with the two points given by:

[tex] y = mx+b[/tex]

Wher m is the slope and b the y intercept. We can find the slope with this formula:

[tex] m =\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] m=\frac{4-6}{8-3}= -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

And for this case we can use the first point to find the intercept like this:

[tex] 6 = -\frac{2}{5}(3) +b[/tex]

And solving we got:

[tex] b = 6 +\frac{6}{5}= \frac{36}{5}[/tex]

A study seeks to answer the question, "Does Vitamin C level in the breast milk of new mothers reduce the risk of allergies in their breastfed infants?" The study concluded that high levels of vitamin C (measured in mg) were associated with a 30 percent lower risk of allergies in the infants. In this scenario, "levels of vitamin C (measured in milligrams)" is what type of variable?

Answers

Answer:

Quantitative variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective in this study is to find the of variable used to conduct the study. The type of variable used to conduct this study is Qualitative variable.

There are majorly two types of variable. These are:

Categorical VariableQuantitative variable                      

Categorical variables are types of variables that are grouped based on some similar characteristics. The nominal scale and the ordinal scale falls under this group of variable.

The nominal scale is an act of giving name to a particular object or concept in order to identify or classify that particular thing.

On the other hand, The ordinal scale possess all the characteristics of nominal scale but here the variables can be ordered. It can be used to determine whether the item is greater or less. It express the indication of order and magnitude.

In Qualitative variables; variables are measured on a numeric scale. From the given question , This type of variable is used to measure the high levels of vitamin C (measured in mg) which were associated with a 30 percent lower risk of allergies in the infants.

The levels of vitamin C could range from 0 mg to certain mg therefore we can measure vitamin C in numerical values of measurement (Quantitative variable).

Complete Question

From the mid-1960's to the early 1990's, there was a slow but steady decline in SAT scores. For example, take the Verbal SAT. The average in 1967 was about 543; by 1994, the average was down to about 499. However, the SD stayed close to 110. The drop in average has a large effect on the tails of the distribution.

Estimate the percentage of students scoring over 700 on 1967.

A 0.7%

B  7%

C 7.67%

D 7.6%

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The average  SAT score in 1967 is  [tex]\= x_1 =543[/tex]

     The  standard deviation of score in 1967 is  [tex]\sigma_ 1= 110[/tex]

     The average  SAT score in 1994 is  [tex]\= x_2 = 499[/tex]

      The  standard deviation of score in 1967 is  [tex]\sigma_ 2 = 110[/tex]

The percentage of students scoring over 700 on 1967 is mathematically represented as

   [tex]P(X > 700)[/tex]

Where X is the random variable representing score of student above 700

Now  normalizing the above probability we have

     [tex]P(X > 700) = P(Z > \frac{700 - \= x_1 }{\sigma } )[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]= P(Z > \frac{700 - \= 543}{110 } )[/tex]

      [tex]= P(Z > 1.83 )[/tex]

Form the normalized z table  

      =  0.076

     =  7.6 %

[tex]\frac{11}{12} / \frac{1}{3} = \frac{11}{12} * \frac{3}{1} = \frac{33}{12} = \frac{11}{4}[/tex]       (divide both sides by 3 to simplify for the last one)

A certain city's population is 120,000 and decreases 1.4% per year for 15 years.
Is this exponential growth or decay? Growth
What is the rate of growth or decay?
What was the initial amount? 120000
What is the function?
What is the population after 10 years? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

Decay Problem.Decay rate,  r = 0.014Initial Amount =120,000[tex]P(t)=120000(0.986)^t[/tex]P(10)=104,220

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for growth/decay is given as:

[tex]P(t)=P_0(1 \pm r)^t, where:\\P_0$ is the Initial Population\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is time[/tex]

In this problem:

The city's initial population is 120,000 and it decreases by 1.4% per year.

Since the population decreases, it is a Decay Problem.Decay rate, r=1.4% =0.014Initial Amount =120,000

Therefore, the function is:

[tex]P(t)=120000(1 - 0.014)^t\\P(t)=120000(0.986)^t[/tex]

When t=10 years

[tex]P(10)=120000(0.986)^10\\=104219.8\\\approx 104220 $ (to the nearest whole number)[/tex]

The city manager of Shinbone has received a complaint from the local union of firefighters to the effect that they are underpaid. Not having much time, the city manager gathers the records of a random sample of 27 firefighters and finds that their average salary is $38,073 with a standard deviation of $575. If she knows that the average salary nationally is $38,202, how can she respond to the complaint

Answers

Answer:

She can answer, after performing the hypothesis test, that there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

She can statistically test the claim of the firefighters to see if it has statistical evidence.

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=38202\\\\H_a:\mu< 38202[/tex]

The significance level is 0.1.  Is less conservative than 0.05, for example, so if there is little evidence, the null hypothesis with be rejected.

The sample has a size n=27.

The sample mean is M=38073.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=575.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{575}{\sqrt{27}}=110.659[/tex]

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{38073-38202}{110.659}=\dfrac{-129}{110.659}=-1.17[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=27-1=26

This test is a left-tailed test, with 26 degrees of freedom and t=-1.17, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-1.17)=0.127[/tex]

As the P-value (0.127) is bigger than the significance level (0.1), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the city firefighters salary is significantly lower than the national average.

Show the frequency distribution for the Gross Profit Margin using the five intervals below:, , , , and Gross Profit MarginFrequencyA. B. C. D. Choose the correct histogram from the above diagrams.e. What is the average price/earnings ratio (to 1 decimal)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Number of variables in the data set : 5

b) A quantitative variable is the one which can be quantitatively measured. i.e. it is a numerical value.

A categorical variable is the one that can take one value from a limited number of fixed values.

Exchange is a Categorical Variable. Price/Earnings Ratio is a Quantitative Variable. Gross Profit Margin (%) is a Quantitative Variable.

c. Out of the 25 stocks, AMEX is the exchange for 5 stocks. So percent frequency is 5/25 = 0.2 = 20%.

NYSE is the exchange for 3 stocks. So percent frequency is 3/25 = 0.12 = 12%.

OTC is the exchange for 17 stocks. So percent frequency is 17/25 = 0.68 = 68%.

These percentages are correctly shown in graph a. So the answer is a.

d) The frequency distribution is

Gross Profit Margin                Frequency

0-14.9                                        2

15-29.9                                      6

30-44.9                                     8

45.59.9                                    6

60.74.9                                    3

As we come across the Gross Profit Margin values in the table, we add a | next to its respective interval and build the above table. E.g. the first value in the table under Gross Profit Margin is 36.7 which lies in the interval 30–44.9. So we add one | in fromt of that interval and so on until we cover the entire table. The number of | shows the frequency distribution of the values.

The correct histogram is A.

e. The average price/earnings ratio is found by adding all the 25 values in the table and dividing the answer by 25.

= 505.40/25

= 20.2
