The residents of a certain dormitory have collected the following data: People who live in the dorm can be classified as either

involved in a relationship or uninvolved. Among involved people, 10 percent experience a breakup of their relationship every month. Among uninvolved people, 15 percent will enter into a relationship every month. What is the steady-state fraction of residents who are uninvolved

Answer:

The steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a Markov chain, with two states:

U: uninvolved

M: matched

The transitions probability matrix is:

\begin{pmatrix} &U&M\\U&0.85&0.15\\M&0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}

The steady state is that satisfies this product of matrixs:

[\pi] \cdot [P]=[\pi]

being π the matrix of steady-state proportions and P the transition matrix.

If we multiply, we have:

(\pi_U,\pi_M)*\begin{pmatrix}0.85&0.15\\0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}=(\pi_U,\pi_M)

Now we have to solve this equations

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\0.15\pi_U+0.90\pi_M=\pi_M

We choose one of the equations and solve:

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\\pi_M=((1-0.85)/0.10)\pi_U=1.5\pi_U\\\\\\\pi_M+\pi_U=1\\\\1.5\pi_U+\pi_U=1\\\\\pi_U=1/2.5=0.4 \\\\ \pi_M=1.5\pi_U=1.5*0.4=0.6

Then, the steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers do not have infinite decimals.

Option 1:

-5, 3/4 and √49 are all rational. Correct

√49 = 7

3/4 = 0.75

-5 = -5

Option 2:

1/4 = 0.25

5 = 5

√12 = 3.4641...

Incorrect

Option 3:

-1/2 = -0.5

-3 = -3

√8 = 2.82841...

Incorrect

Option 4:

1/7 = 0.142857...

9 = 9

√11  = 3.31662...

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The value of the experimental probability is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

For the theoretical probability;

the probability that a card with the number 3 is selected is 1/5

We consider that the probabilities of each selection are equal, for the theoretical probability

For the experimental, we simply place the frequency of the selection 3 over the total

that will be 128/400 = 8/25

As we know that 8/25 is greater than 1/5

We can conclude that the value of the experimental probability is greater than that of the theoretical
