A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y de

note the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type. a. Give an iterval (a, b) such that P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90b. Using the one-sided Chebyshev inequality, how many fish need we plan on catching so as to be at least 90 percent certain of obtaining at least one of each type.

Answer:

a) P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ

b) P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

b= μ+3*σ

Step-by-step explanation:

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y =  the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 →  1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90  →  1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)=  1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

F/4 + 16 &lt; 49<br> Solve the inequality
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

f < 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings!

I'm~Isabelle~Williams~and~I~will~be~answering~your~question!

Subtract~16~from~both~sides:

\frac{f}{4} +16-16 < 49-16

Simplify:

\frac{f}{4} < 33

Now,~multiply~both~sides~by~4:

\frac{4f}{4} < 33\times4

f < 132

Hope~my~answer~helps!~Have~a~great~day~ahead!

Find the solution of the given initial value problem:<br><br> y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:  The required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Let y=e^{mx} be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.

So, the general solution of the given equation is

y(x)=Ae^x+Be^{-x}, where A and B are constants.

This gives, after differentiating with respect to x that

y^\prime(x)=Ae^x-Be^{-x}.

The given conditions implies that

y(0)=2\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A-B=-\dfrac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

2A=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2A=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3}{4}.

From equation (i), we get

\dfrac{3}{4}+B=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=2-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{5}{4}.

Substituting the values of A and B in the general solution, we get

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Thus, the required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.
