Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 191 people. Initially, only 38 members of the group have heard the rumor, but 3 days later 68 people have heard it. Using a logistic growth model, how many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread? (Round your answer to the nearest whole person.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

106 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logistic equation:

The logistic equation is given by:

[tex]P(t) = \frac{K}{1+Ae^{-kt}}[/tex]

In which

[tex]A = \frac{K - P_0}{P_0}[/tex]

K is the carrying capacity, k is the growth/decay rate, t is the time and P_0 is the initial value.

Suppose a rumor is going around a group of 191 people. Initially, only 38 members of the group have heard the rumor.

This means that [tex]K = 191, P_0 = 38[/tex], so:

[tex]A = \frac{191 - 38}{38} = 4.03[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-kt}}[/tex]

3 days later 68 people have heard it.

This means that [tex]P(3) = 68[/tex]. We use this to find k.

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-kt}}[/tex]

[tex]68 = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-3k}}[/tex]

[tex]68 + 274.04e^{-3k} = 191[/tex]

[tex]e^{-3k} = \frac{191-68}{274.04}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-3k} = 0.4484[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-3k}} = \ln{0.4484}[/tex]

[tex]-3k = \ln{0.4484}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.4484}}{3}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.2674[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(t) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-0.2674t}}[/tex]

How many people are expected to have heard the rumor after 6 days total have passed since it was initially spread?

This is P(6). So

[tex]P(6) = \frac{191}{1+4.03e^{-0.2674*6}} = 105.52[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 106 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = x^a(2 − x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = x^a (2-x)^b \text{ where } a, b >0[/tex]

And we want to find the maximum value of f(x) on the interval [0, 2].

First, let's evaluate the endpoints of the interval:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = (0)^a(2-(0))^b = 0[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = (2)^a(2-(2))^b = 0[/tex]

Recall that extrema occurs at a function's critical points. The critical points of a function at the points where its derivative is either zero or undefined. Thus, find the derivative of the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x^a\left(2-x\right)^b\right][/tex]

By the Product Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) &= \frac{d}{dx}\left[x^a\right] (2-x)^b + x^a\frac{d}{dx}\left[(2-x)^b\right]\\ \\ &=\left(ax^{a-1}\right)\left(2-x\right)^b + x^a\left(b(2-x)^{b-1}\cdot -1\right) \\ \\ &= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right] \end{aligned}[/tex]

Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 0= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right][/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]\displaystyle x^a (2-x)^b = 0\text{ or } \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} = 0[/tex]

The solutions to the first equation are x = 0 and x = 2.

First, for the second equation, note that it is undefined when x = 0 and x = 2.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the denominators.

[tex]\displaystyle\left( \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} \right)\left((x(2-x)\right) = 0(x(2-x))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle a(2-x) - b(x) = 0[/tex]

And solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a-ax-bx &= 0 \\ 2a &= ax+bx \\ 2a&= x(a+b) \\ \frac{2a}{a+b} &= x \end{aligned}[/tex]

So, our critical points are:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 0 , 2 , \text{ and } \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

We already know that f(0) = f(2) = 0.

For the third point, we can see that:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(2- \frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

This can be simplified to:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Since a and b > 0, both factors must be positive. Thus, f(2a / (a + b)) > 0. So, this must be the maximum value.

To confirm that this is indeed a maximum, we can select values to test. Let a = 2 and b = 3. Then:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = x^2(2-x)^3\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{2-x}\right)[/tex]

The critical point will be at:

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{2(2)}{(2)+(3)} = \frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

Testing x = 0.5 and x = 1 yields that:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(0.5) >0\text{ and } f'(1) <0[/tex]

Since the derivative is positive and then negative, we can conclude that the point is indeed a maximum.

Therefore, the maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Z = (42-20)/4 = 5.5

Z = X-μ / σ

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for the data value of 42 is 5.5.

What is a z-score?

A z-score is defined as the fractional representation of data point to the mean using standard deviations.

Formula of z-score = (X - μ) / σ

Given,

μ = 20

σ = 4

X = 42

z-score = (X - μ) / σ

Substitute the values,

z-score =  (42-20)/4

z-score = 22/4

z-score =  5.5

Hence, the z-score for the data value of 42 is 5.5.

m=-9/-4 = 9/4

next plug the slope and the point (-4,-5) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=-5

x1= -4

m=9/4

y- -5 = 9/4(x - -4)

y+5=9/4(x+4)

Distribute 9/4 first

y+5=9/4x + 9

subtract 5 on both sides

y=9/4x+4

What is the residual in a least-square regression equation?

The residual is the vertical distance separating the observed point from your expected y-value, or more simply put, it is the difference between the actual y and the predicted y.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked to find the residual for 2 and 5 lines using the least-squares regression equation y = 8.5 + 69.5x and the actual costs given to us.

We know that the residual is the vertical distance separating the observed point from your expected y-value, or more simply put, it is the difference between the actual y and the predicted y.

Thus for 2 phone lines:-

Actual Cost = $150.

Predicted Cost, y = 8.5 + 69.5*2 = 147.5.

Residual = Actual Cost - Predicted Cost = 150 - 147.5 = $2.5.

Thus, the residual for 2 phone lines is $2.5.

Thus for 5 phone lines:-

Actual Cost = $350.

Predicted Cost, y = 8.5 + 69.5*2 = 356.

Residual = Actual Cost - Predicted Cost = 350 - 356 = -$6.

Thus, the residual for 2 phone lines is -$6.
