In a certain tropical forest, litter (mainly dead vegetation such as leaves and vines) forms on the ground at the rate of 10 grams per square centimeter per year. At the same time, however, the litter is decomposing at the rate of 80% per year. Let f(t) be the amount of litter (in grams per square centimeter) present at time t. Find a differential equation satisfied by f(t).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The net rate of change, df(t)/dt = rate in - rate out

The rate in = rate litter forms on ground = 10 g/cm²/yr

Since f(t) is the amount of litter present at time, t, in g/cm² the rate out = rate of decomposition = the percentage rate × f(t) = 80% per year × f(t) = 0.8f(t) g/cm²/yr

Since df(t)/dt = rate in - rate out

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

So the desired differential equation is

df(t)/dt = 10 - 0.8f(t)

Police response time to an emergency call is the difference between the time the call is first received by the dispatcher and the time a patrol car radios that it has arrived at the scene. Over a long period of time, it has been determined that the police response time has a normal distribution with a mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes. For a randomly received emergency call, find the probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normal distribution with a mean of 7.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.2, \sigma = 2.1[/tex]

Probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 9 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3. So

X = 9

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{9 - 7.2}{2.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.86[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8051

X = 3

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{3 - 7.2}{2.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.8051 - 0.0228 = 0.7823

0.7823 = 78.23% probability that the response time is between 3 and 9 minutes.

l=7a l=7×135

l=945 so:-135+945=1080

Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads

What is an equation?

"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two algebraic expressions."

For given question,

Let Lucy and Ayu sold 'x' and 'y' iPads respectively.

Lucy and Ayu sold a total of 1,080 iPads.

So, we get an equation,

⇒ x + y = 1080           ...............(i)

Lucy sold 7 times as many as Ayu.

So we get the second equation as,

⇒ x = 7y                     ................(ii)

Substitute above value of x in equation (i)

⇒ x + y = 1080

⇒ 7y + y = 1080

⇒ 8y = 1080

⇒ y = 135

This means, Ayu sold 135 iPads

Substitute above value of y in equation (ii)

⇒ x = 7(135)    

⇒ x = 7 × 135

⇒ x = 945

This means, Lucy sold 945 iPads.

Therefore, Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads

A farmer knows that a grocery store will reject a shipment of his vegetables if more than 4% of the vegetables contain blemishes. He inspects a large truckload of tomatoes to determine if the proportion with blemishes (p) exceeds 0.04. He selects an SRS of 150 tomatoes from the more than 2,000 tomatoes in the truck. Suppose that 8 tomatoes sampled are found to have blemishes. Which of the assumptions for inference about a proportion is violated, if any?

a. Large Counts: np > 10
b. Large Counts: n(1 – p) > 10
c. The sample is a random sample of the entire population.
d. 10% condition: the sample size is less than 10% of the population.
e. There do not appear to be any violations.

Answers

Answer:

Assumption A is violated

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of blemishes = 8

n = sample size = 150

proportion = x/n = 8/150 = 0.0533

1. large counts: np> 10

= 150 * 0.0533 >10

= 7.995 > 10

this assumpton is obviously violated. 7.995 is not greater than 10

2. Large Counts: n(1 - p) > 10

150(1-0.0533)>10

150-7.995 > 10

142.005> 10

there is no violation. The assumption is satisfied

3. This assumption is satisfied. this is because the tomatoes were selected using simple random sampling.

4. 10% of the population = 0.1 * 2000 = 200

the sample size = 150

150 < 200

this assumption is satisfied

C is the approximant answer

a normal distribution has a mean of 56 and a standard deviation of 8. Find the percentage of data values that are in the given interval. Use the curve to aid you.​

Answers

Answer:

12) Between 40 and 64 = 0.815

13) Between 32 and 40 = 0.0235

14) Between 56 and 64 = 0.34

15) At most 56 = 0.515

16) At least 72 = 0.025

17) At most 64 = 0.855

Explanation:

To answer this, we will convert each of the values into their standardized form to make this easier.

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ

x = Each value

μ = Mean = 56

σ = Standard deviation = 8

12) Between 40 and 64

For 40,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (40 - 56)/8 = (-16/8) = -2

For 64

z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1

So,

Between 40 and 64 = Between -2 and 1

From the curve, noting that the central point is the mean, with standard score of 0, the lines before it move in step of 1 standard deviation towards the negative side, that is, -1, -2, etc. And the lines before the central point move towards the positive side, that is, 1, 2, 3, etc.

So,

Between -2 and 1 = 0.135 + 0.34 + 0.34 = 0.815

13) Between 32 and 40

For 32,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (32 - 56)/8 = (-24/8) = -3

For 40,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (40 - 56)/8 = (-16/8) = -2

So,

Between 32 and 40 = Between -3 and -2 = 0.0235

14) Between 56 and 64

For 56,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (56 - 56)/8 = (0/8) = 0

For 64,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1

Between 56 and 64 = Between 0 and 1 = 0.34

15) At most 56

For 56,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (56 - 56)/8 = (0/8) = 0

At most 56 = At most 0 = 0.0015 + 0.0235 + 0.15 + 0.34 = 0.515

All the regions before z = 0)

16) At least 72

For 72,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (72 - 56)/8 = (16/8) = 2

At least 72 = At least 2 = 0.0235 + 0.0015 = 0.025

(All the regions from z = 2 to the end)

17) At most 64

For 64,

z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1

At most 64 = At most 1 = 0.0015 + 0.0235 + 0.15 + 0.34 + 0.34 = 0.855

(All the regions before z = 1)

The length of stay at a specific emergency department in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 had a mean of 4.6 hours with a standard deviation of 2.9. Assume that the length of stay is normally distributed.
a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?
b. What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?
c. From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours? Comment on the normally distributed assumption in this example.

Answers

Answer:

a) the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144

b) the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs

c)

P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559

The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.

The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.

The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0  can be neglected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ = 4.6

standard deviation σ = 2.9

let x represent length of stay;

a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?

p( x > 10 ) = p( x-μ/σ > 10-4.6 / 2.9 )

= p( Z > 1.86)

= P( Z < - 1.86 )

FROM THE Z SCORE TABLE;( Z < - 1.86 ) = 0.03144

p( x > 10 )  = 0.03144

Therefore, the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144

b) What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?

p( X > x ) = 0.25

so

p( X < x ) = 0.75

p( x-μ/σ < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 75

p( Z < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 0.75 ----- 1

also, from the standard normal table; P( Z < 0.67 ) = 0.75 ------ 11

from equation 1 and 11

x-4.6 / 2.9 = 0.67

x-4.6 = 2.9 × 0.67

x - 4.6 = 1.943

x = 4.6 + 1.943

x = 6.543 ≈ 6.5

Therefore, the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs

c)  From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours?

P( X < 0 ) = p( x-μ/σ < 0-4.6 / 2.9 )

= P( Z - 1.59)

from table;( Z - 1.59) = 0.0559

P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559

The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.

The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.

The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0  can be neglected.
