- Unemployment In 2015, there were approximately 8.3 million unemployed workers in the United States. The circle graph shows the age profile of these unemployed workers. Ages of Unemployed Workers (a) Estimate the number of unemployed workers in the 16-19 age group. (b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is in the 20-24 age group? (c) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is in the 25-54 age group? (d) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is 55 or older?arrow_forwardPopulation Genetics In the study of population genetics, an important measure of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygous genotypesthat is, instances in which the two alleles carried at a particular site on an individuals chromosomes are both the same. For population in which blood-related individual mate, them is a higher than expected frequency of homozygous individuals. Examples of such populations include endangered or rare species, selectively bred breeds, and isolated populations. in general. the frequency of homozygous children from mating of blood-related parents is greater than that for children from unrelated parents Measured over a large number of generations, the proportion of heterozygous genotypesthat is, nonhomozygous genotypeschanges by a constant factor 1 from generation to generation. The factor 1 is a number between 0 and 1. If 1=0.75, for example then the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 25 in each generation In this case, after 10 generations, the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 94.37, since 0.7510=0.0563, or 5.63. In other words, 94.37 of the population is homozygous. For specific types of matings, the proportion of heterozygous genotypes can be related to that of previous generations and is found from an equation. For mating between siblings 1 can be determined as the largest value of for which 2=12+14. This equation comes from carefully accounting for the genotypes for the present generation the 2 term in terms of those previous two generations represented by for the parents generation and by the constant term of the grandparents generation. a Find both solutions to the quadratic equation above and identify which is 1 use a horizontal span of 1 to 1 in this exercise and the following exercise. b After 5 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous? c After 20 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous?arrow_forwardAverage Traffic Spacing The headway h is the average time between vehicles. On a highway carrying an average of 500 vehicles per flour, the probability P that the headway is at least t seconds is given by P=0.87t. a. What is the limiting value of P? Explain what this means in practical terms. b. The headway h can be calculated as the quotient of the spacing f, in feet, which is the average distance between vehicles, and the average speed v, in feet per second, of traffic. Thus, the probability that spacing is at least f feet is the same as the probability that the headway is at least f/v seconds. Use function composition to find a formula for the probability Q that the spacing is at least f feet. Note: Your formula will involve both f and v. c. If the average speed is 88 feet per second 60 miles per hour, what is the probability that the spacing between two vehicles is at least 40 feet?arrow_forward
