In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than on
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

In one month, we will have 4,950 non-smokers, 2,650 smokers of one pack and 2,400 smokers of more than one pack.

In two months, we will have 4,912 non-smokers, 2,756 smokers of one pack and 2,332 smokers of more than one pack.

In a year, we will have 4,793 non-smokers, 3,005 smokers of one pack and 2,202 smokers of more than one pack.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write the transition matrix M for the population.

We have three states (nonsmokers, smokers of one pack and smokers of more than one pack), so we will have a 3x3 transition matrix.

We can write the transition matrix, in which the rows are the actual state and the columns are the future state.

- There is an 8% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 2% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. <em>Then, the probability of staying in the same state is 90%.</em>

-  For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. <em>Then, the probability of staying in the same state is 80%.</em>

- For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is an 8% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. <em>Then, the probability of staying in the same state is 82%.</em>

<em />

The transition matrix becomes:

\begin{vmatrix} &NS&P1&PM\\NS&  0.90&0.08&0.02 \\  P1&0.10&0.80 &0.10 \\  PM& 0.08 &0.10&0.82 \end{vmatrix}

The actual state matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5,000&2,500&2,500\end{array}\right]

We can calculate the next month state by multupling the actual state matrix and the transition matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5000&2500&2500\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.90&0.08&0.02\\0.10&0.80 &0.10\\0.08 &0.10&0.82\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4950&2650&2400\end{array}\right]

In one month, we will have 4,950 non-smokers, 2,650 smokers of one pack and 2,400 smokers of more than one pack.

To calculate the the state for the second month, we us the state of the first of the month and multiply it one time by the transition matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4950&2650&2400\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.90&0.08&0.02\\0.10&0.80 &0.10\\0.08 &0.10&0.82\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4912&2756&2332\end{array}\right]

In two months, we will have 4,912 non-smokers, 2,756 smokers of one pack and 2,332 smokers of more than one pack.

If we repeat this multiplication 12 times from the actual state (or 10 times from the two-months state), we will get the state a year from now:

\left( \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5000&2500&2500\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.90&0.08&0.02\\0.10&0.80 &0.10\\0.08 &0.10&0.82\end{array}\right] \right)^{12} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4792.63&3005.44&2201.93\end{array}\right]

In a year, we will have 4,793 non-smokers, 3,005 smokers of one pack and 2,202 smokers of more than one pack.

Find the measures of the numbered angles in the isosceles triangle
Damm [24]

Answer:

As you noted, ∠PRS=80°. Take the triangle △TRS: we know two angles out of three, so that ∠TSR=45°. Now take the isosceles triangle △PTS: the two angles adjacent to the base PT are equal to 35°, so the third angle ∠PST=110° and then ∠PSR=65°. This is one of the two angles adjacent to the base of an isosceles trapezoid: knowing it, you can easily complete the solution.

illey wants to solve the following equations using the method of elimination: y = x – 2 y = 4x – 8 What number should y = x – 2
lbvjy [14]

The second equation has 4x in it t. So to eliminate X, you need to multiply y = x-2 by -4, so the x would become -4x.
