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.

When planning road development, the road commission estimates the future population using the function represented in the table,
Leokris [45]

Considering that 160,000 is the y-intercept of the function, it's significance is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

<h3>What is the y-intercept of a function f(x)?</h3>

The y-intercept is f(0), that is, the value of y when x = 0, which is interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Researching this problem on the internet, it is found that f(0) = 160,000, hence the significance of 160,000 in the function is given by:

the initial population at the time of the estimation.

8+30\2+4=27 put parentheses so it can equal 23 and 13
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

correct anwer=27

Step-by-step explanation:

the anwer for this equation comes out to be 27. As simple as it becomes on applying paranthesis to this equation therefore we get

8+(30/2)+4=27

we need to apply the paranthesis using the method of BODMAS.

which favours division over addition.

therefore,correct anwer is 27 and not 13
