The populations P (in thousands) of a certain town in North Carolina, from 2006 through 2012 can be modeled by
P = 5.5ekt,
where t is the year, with
t = 6
corresponding to 2006. In 2008, the population was 7000.

Find the value of k, rounding to 4 decimal places

Then Use the model to predict the population in 2018 (nearest person)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the populations P (in thousands) of a certain town in North Carolina, from 2006 through 2012 modeled by

P = 5.5e^kt,

If in 2008, the population was 7000. then;

at t = 2, P = 7000

7 = 5.5e^2k

7/5,5 = e^2k

1.2727= e^2k

Apply ln to both sides

ln 1.272 = lne^2k

ln 1.272= 2k

0.2411 = 2k

k = 0.2411/2

k = 0.1206 (to 4dp)

By 2018, the time t = 12 (2006-2018)

Substitute

P = 5.5e^(0.1206)(12)

P = 5.5e^(1.4468)

P = 5.5(4.2495)

P = 23.3722

P = 23372

Hence the population after 12 years is approx 23,372 populations

To compute a student's Grade Point Average (GPA) for a term, the student's grades for cach course are weighted by the number of credits for the course. Suppose a student had these grades: 3.6 in a 5 credit Math course 2.5 in a 2 credit Music course 3.0 in a 5 credit Chemistry course 3.4 in a 5 credit Journalism course What is the student's GPA for that term? Round to two decimal places. Student's GPA=_________

Answers

Answer:

The student's GPA = 3.24

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the student's GPA for the term,

First, we will determine the weighted grade points and then divide the result by the total credit.

The weighted grade point is the sum of the grade points in the courses.

Grade point for a course is calculated by multiplying the grade by the course credit.

For the Math course,

Grade point = 3.6 × 5 = 18.0

For the Music course,

Grade point = 2.5 × 2 = 5.0

For the Chemistry course,

Grade point = 3.0 × 5 = 15.0

For the Journalism course,

Grade point = 3.4 × 5 = 17.0

Hence,

The weighted grade point = 18.0 + 5.0 + 15.0 + 17.0

The weighted grade point = 55.0

Total credit = 5 + 2 + 5 + 5 = 17

∴ The student's GPA = 55.0 / 17 = 3.24

Hence, The student's GPA = 3.24

Suppose that Y has density function
f(y) = ky(1 − y) if 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 0, elsewhere
A) Find the value of k that makes f (y) a probability density function.
B) Find P(Y ≤ .4|Y ≤ .8).
C) Find the .95-quantile, i.e., find a point φ.95 such that P(Y ≤ φ.95) = .95.

Answers

I'm assuming

[tex]f(y)=\begin{cases}ky(1-y)&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

(a) f(x) is a valid probability density function if its integral over the support is 1:

[tex]\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=k\int_0^1 y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=k\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=1[/tex]

Compute the integral:

[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=\left(\frac{y^2}2-\frac{y^3}3\right)\bigg|_0^1=\frac12-\frac13=\frac16[/tex]

So we have

k / 6 = 1   →   k = 6

(b) By definition of conditional probability,

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = P(Y ≤ 0.4 and Y ≤ 0.8) / P(Y ≤ 0.8)

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = P(Y ≤ 0.4) / P(Y ≤ 0.8)

It makes sense to derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the rest of the problem, since F(y) = P(Y ≤ y).

We have

[tex]\displaystyle F(y)=\int_{-\infty}^y f(t)\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^y6t(1-t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y<0\\3y^2-2y^3&\text{for }0\le y<1\\1&\text{for }y\ge1\end{cases}[/tex]

Then

P(Y ≤ 0.4) = F (0.4) = 0.352

P(Y ≤ 0.8) = F (0.8) = 0.896

and so

P(Y ≤ 0.4 | Y ≤ 0.8) = 0.352 / 0.896 ≈ 0.393

(c) The 0.95 quantile is the value φ such that

P(Y ≤ φ) = 0.95

In terms of the integral definition of the CDF, we have solve for φ such that

[tex]\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=0.95[/tex]

We have

[tex]\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^\varphi 6y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=(3y^2-2y^3)\bigg|_0^\varphi = 0.95[/tex]

which reduces to the cubic

3φ² - 2φ³ = 0.95

Use a calculator to solve this and find that φ ≈ 0.865.

Using probability concepts, it is found that

a) The value is k = 6.

b) P(Y ≤ .4|Y ≤ .8) = 0.554.

c) The 95th percentile is x = 0.86465.

The density function is:

[tex]f(y) = ky(1 - y)[/tex]

Item a:

The condition that makes it a probability density function is:

[tex]\int_0^1 f(y) dy = 1[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\int_0^1 f(y) dy = \int_0^1 ky - ky^2 dy[/tex]

[tex]\int_0^1 f(y) dy = k(\frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^3}{3})|_{y = 0}^{y = 1}[/tex]

[tex]\int_0^1 f(y) dy = k(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3})[/tex]

Then

[tex]k(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) = 1[/tex]

[tex]k(\frac{3-2}{6}) = 1[/tex]

[tex]k = 6[/tex]

The value is k = 6.

Item b:

This probability is:

[tex]\int_0.4^0.8 f(y) dy = 6(\frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^3}{3})|_{y = 0.4}^{y = 0.8}[/tex]

Then

[tex]p = 6\left(\frac{0.8^2}{2} - \frac{0.8^3}{3} - \frac{0.4^2}{2} + \frac{0.4^3}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.554[/tex]

Thus, P(Y ≤ .4|Y ≤ .8) = 0.554.

Item c:

This is x for which:

[tex]\int_0^x f(y) dy = 0.95[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]6(\frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}) = 0.95[/tex]

[tex]-2x^3 + 3x^2 - 0.95 = 0[/tex]

Solving a cubic equation with the help of a calculator, and considering [tex]0 \leq x \leq 1[/tex], this is x = 0.86465.

Select all intervals in which the function P(t) is decreasing

Answers

Answer:

we conclude that the intervals in which the function P(t) is decreasing are:

x < 13 < x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

At x< 1, the function P(t) is decreasing

A function p is an increasing function on an open interval if f(y) > f(x) for any two input values x and y in the given interval where y>xA function p is a decreasing function on an open interval if f(y) > f(x) for any two input values x and y in the given interval where y>x

From the figure, it is clear that the function seems to be increasing

from (1, 3) and then 4 to onwards.

But it is clear that the function seems to be decreasing from the x < 1 and from the interval (3, 4).

Therefore, we conclude that the intervals in which the function P(t) is decreasing are:

What is Percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, %

Given data ,

The number of marbles Peter had on his way home = 171

The amount of marbles he lost on his way home = ( 3/4 ) th

Now , the amount of marbles Peter have left = 1 - amount of marbles he lost on his way home

The amount of marbles Peter have left = 1 - 3/4

                                                                = ( 1 / 4) th

So , The number of marbles Peter had left when he arrived home is =

Amount of marbles Peter have left x Number of marbles Peter had

The number of marbles Peter had left when he arrived home is = (1/4) x 171

= 171 / 4

Perimeter: 16x + 16

Area: 40x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure, it can be found by adding up all the sides. The area is the space within the figure, in the case of a quadrilateral can be found by multiplying the length by the width. Finally, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are congruent, parallel, and intersect in 90degree (right) angles.

Using this,

1. Find the perimeter

Since opposite sides are congruent, there will be two sides with a measure of ( 8x + 3 ), and two sides with the measure of 5. Hence the sum of all the sides would be

8x + 3 + 8x + 3 + 5 + 5

Add them together,

16x + 16.

The perimeter of the figure is 16x + 16

2. Find the area,

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width.;

( 8x + 3 ) * 5

Distribute:

40x + 15

The area of the figure is 40x + 15
