A medical researcher is studying the spread of a virus in a population of 1000 laboratory mice. During any week, there is a 70% probability that an infected mouse will overcome the virus, and during the same week there is a 40% probability that a noninfected mouse will become infected. Four hundred mice are currently infected with the virus. How many will be infected next week and in 3 weeks?
(a) next week mice rilex
(b) in 3 weeks mice

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 360 mice

b) 364 mice

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume :

A = number of infected mice , B = number of non-infected mice

P( infected mice overcoming infection ) = 70% = 0.7

P ( Infected mice not overcoming infection ) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

P( mice becoming infected ) = 40% = 0.4

P ( mice not becoming infected ) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Number of infected mice = 400

Number of non-infected mice = 1000 - 400 = 600

step 1 ; express the probabilities in matrix form

[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.3&0.4&\\0.7&0.6&\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]X = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}400\\600\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

step 2 : multiply the matrix above to determine the number of mice that will be infected

a) For next week

PX = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}360\\640\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

i.e. 360 mice will get infected next week

next 2 week = P ( PX )

= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.3&0.4&\\0.7&0.6&\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  * [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}360\\640\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}364\\636\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

b) In 3 weeks time

P ( P(PX) = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.3&0.4&\\0.7&0.6&\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  * [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}364\\636\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  

               = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}363.6\\636.4\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

i.e.  364 mice will get infected in 3 weeks time

Given : Scale drawing of Angel's rectangular room is 5cm by 7 cm

We know that, Area of a rectangle is given by : Length × Width

⇒   Area of Angel's rectangular room = (5 cm × 7 cm) = 35 cm²

Given : The scale is 1 cm = 4 feet

⇒   Area of Angel's rectangular room in square feet = 35 × (4 feet)²

⇒   Area of Angel's rectangular room in square feet = 35 × 16 feet²

⇒   Area of Angel's rectangular room in square feet = 560 feet²

A right cone has a radius of 5 cm and an altitude of 12 cm. Find its volume.


A)

300 cm3

B)

64.1 cm3

C)

942.5 cm3

D)

314.2 cm3

Answers

Answer:

D. V=314.2cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cone is:

V=pi×r²×h/3=pi×5²×12/3=100×pi=314.2cm³

Answer: D) 314.2 [tex]cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the volume of a right cone is [tex]V=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

r is the radius and h is the height/altitude.

We can sub these values in and solve

[tex]V=\pi (5^2)(\frac{12}{3} )\\V=\pi (25)(4)\\V=100\pi[/tex]

Let's sub in 3.14 for [tex]\pi[/tex] since that is a close estimate

[tex]V=(100)(3.14)\\V=314[/tex]

The volume is about 314.

Our closest answer to that is D so that is the correct choice.

Determine whether the stochastic matrix P is regular. Then find the steady state matrix X of the Markov chain with matrix of transition probabilities P. P=
0.22 0.20 0.65
0.62 0.60 0.15
0.16 0.20 0.20

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.22&0.20&0.65\\0.62&0.60&0.15\\0.16&0.20&0.20\end{array}\right][/tex]

For a steady-state of a given matrix [tex]\bar X[/tex]

[tex]\bar X = \left[\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\c\end{array}\right][/tex]

As a result P[tex]\bar X[/tex] = [tex]\bar X[/tex] and a+b+c must be equal to 1

So, if P[tex]\bar X[/tex] = [tex]\bar X[/tex]

Then;

[tex]P = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.22&0.20&0.65\\0.62&0.60&0.15\\0.16&0.20&0.20\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\c\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}a\\b\\c\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\implies \left\begin{array}{ccc}0.22a+&0.20b+&0.65c\\0.62a+&0.60b+&0.15c\\0.16a+&0.20b+&0.20c\end{array} \right = \left \begin{array}{c}a ---(1)\\b---(2)\\c---(3)\end{array}\right[/tex]

Equating both equation (1) and (3)

(0.22a+ 0.2b + 0.65c) - (0.16a + 0.2b + 0.2c) = a - c

0.06a + 0.45c = a - c

collect like terms

0.06a - a = -c - 0.45c

-0.94 a = -1.45 c

0.94 a = 1.45 c

[tex]c =\dfrac{ 0.94}{1.45}a[/tex]

[tex]c =\dfrac{ 94}{145}a --- (4)[/tex]

Using equation (2)

0.62a + 0.60b + 0.15c = b

where;

c = 94/145 a

[tex]0.62a + 0.60b + 0.15(\dfrac{94}{145}) a= b[/tex]

[tex]0.62a + 0.15(\dfrac{94}{145}) a= -0.60b+b[/tex]

[tex]0.62a + (\dfrac{141}{1450}) a= 0.40b[/tex]

[tex](0.62+\dfrac{141}{1450}) a= 0.40b[/tex]

[tex](\dfrac{62}{100}+\dfrac{141}{1450}) a= 0.40b[/tex]

[tex](\dfrac{1043}{1450})a= 0.40b[/tex]

[tex](\dfrac{1043}{1450})a= \dfrac{4}{10} b[/tex]

[tex](\dfrac{1043 \times 10}{1450 \times 4})a = \dfrac{4}{10} \times \dfrac{10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]b = (\dfrac{1043}{580}) a --- (5)[/tex]

From a + b + c = 1

[tex]a + \dfrac{1043}{580}a + \dfrac{94}{145} a = 1[/tex]

[tex]a + \dfrac{1043}{580}a + \dfrac{94*4}{145*4} a = 1[/tex]

[tex]a + \dfrac{1043}{580}a + \dfrac{376}{580} a = 1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{580+ 1043+376 }{580} a= 1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1999}{580} a= 1[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{580}{1999}[/tex]

[tex]b = \dfrac{1043}{580} \times \dfrac{580}{1999}[/tex]

[tex]b = \dfrac{1043}{1999}[/tex]

[tex]c = \dfrac{94}{145} \times \dfrac{580}{1999}[/tex]

[tex]c= \dfrac{376}{1999}[/tex]

The steady matrix of [tex]\bar X[/tex] is:

[tex]\bar X = \left[\begin{array}{c}\dfrac{580}{1999} \\ \\ \dfrac{1043}{1999}\\ \\ \dfrac{376}{1999}\end{array}\right][/tex]

A multiple-choice test contains 25 questions, each with 4 answers. Assume a student just guesses on each question. (a) What is the probability that the student answers more than 20 questions correctly

Answers

Answer:

9.68*10^-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem above can be solved using the binomial probability relation :

Where ;

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

n = number of trials = 25

p = 1/4 = 0.25

q = 1 - p = 0.75

x = 20

P(x > 20) = p(x = 21) + p(x = 22) +.. + p(x = 25)

Using the binomial probability calculator to save computation time :

P(x > 20) = 9.68*10^-10

The answer would be 30 because the triangle is 10, the circle is 5, and each black triangle is 2 which would be 10 plus 5 which is 15 then times 2 which is 30.

Answer:

20?

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 triangles = 30 they we could assume that each triangle = 10

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

If one triangle = 10 then the 2 circles would = 5 in the 2nd equation

10 + 5 + 5 = 20

If 1 circle = 5 then the 1 full squares would = 4

5 + 4 + 4 = 13

1 triangle = 10 , 1 circle = 5, Half a square = 2

10 + 5 * 2 = ?

Using PEMDAS we would multiply 2 and 5 first to get 10

10 + 10 = 20
