A certain community consists of 2000 people, and one individual has a particularly contagious strain of influenza. Assuming the community has not had vaccination shots and are all susceptible, the spread of the disease in the community is modeled by 2000 A = 1 + 1999e- 0.6t where A is the number of people who have contracted the flu after t days. (a) How many people have contracted the flu after 7 days? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. people (b) What is the carrying capacity for this model? (c) How many days will it take for 700 people to contract the flu? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. days.

2. Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food? Table 2.7 Bacteria Strain I Bacteria Strain II Bacteria Strain III Food A 1 2 0 Food B 2 1 3 Food C 1 1 1
Explain the differences between Gaussian elimination and Gauss-Jordan elimination.
In laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788
A certain company produces fidget spinners with ball bearings made of either plastic or metal. Under standard testing conditions, fidget spinners from this company with plastic bearings spin for an average of 2.7 minutes, while those from this company with metal bearings spin for an average of 4.2 minutes. A random sample of three fidget spinners with plastic bearings is selected from company stock, and each is spun one time under the same standard conditions; let x¯1x¯1 represent the average spinning time for these three spinners. A random sample of seven fidget spinners with metal bearings is selected from company stock, and each is likewise spun one time under standard conditions; let x¯2x¯2 represent the average spinning time for these seven spinners. What is the mean μ(x¯1−x¯2)μ(x¯1−x¯2) of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means x¯1−x¯2x¯1−x¯2 ? 3(2.7)−7(4.2)=−21.33(2.7)−7(4.2)=−21.3 A 3−7=−43−7=−4 B 2.7−4.2=−1.52.7−4.2=−1.5 C…
Suppose that in a certain chemical process the reaction time (in hours) is related to the temperature (°F) in the chamber in which the reaction takes place, according to the simple linear regression model where β0 = 5.23, β1 = -0.01, and σ = 0.09. If the temperature is 260°F, what is the probability that the reaction time is between 2.51 and 2.7 hours? Suppose five observations are made independently on reaction time, each one for a temperature of 260°F. What is the probability that all five times are between 2.51 and 2.7 hours? If two independently observed reaction times for temperatures are 1° apart, what is the probability that the time at the higher temperature exceeds the time at the lower temperature?
An investor has decided to commit no more than $80,000 to the purchase of the common stocks of two companies, Company A and Company B. He has also estimated that there is a chance of at most a 1% capital loss on his investment in Company A and a chance of at most a 4% loss on his investment in Company B, and he has decided that these losses should not exceed $2000. On the other hand, he expects to make a(n) 15% profit from his investment in Company A and a(n) 18% profit from his investment in Company B. Determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company (x dollars in Company A and y dollars in Company B) in order to maximize his investment returns. What are the (x,y) values? What is the optimal profit?
