An advertising company designs a campaign to introduce a new product to a metropolitan area of population 3 Million people. Let

P(t) denote the number of people (in millions) who become aware of the product by time t. Suppose that P increases at a rate proportional to the number of people still unaware of the product. The company determines that no one was aware of the product at the beginning of the campaign, and that 50% of the people were aware of the product after 50 days of advertising. The number of people who become aware of the product at time t is:

Answer:

P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P(t) increases at a rate proportional to the number of people still unaware of the product, we have

P'(t)=K(3,000,000-P(t))

Since no one was aware of the product at the beginning of the campaign and 50% of the people were aware of the product after 50 days of advertising

<em>P(0) = 0 and P(50) = 1,500,000 </em>

We have and ordinary differential equation of first order that we can write

P'(t)+KP(t)= 3,000,000K

The <em>integrating factor </em>is

e^{Kt}

Multiplying both sides of the equation by the integrating factor

e^{Kt}P'(t)+e^{Kt}KP(t)= e^{Kt}3,000,000*K

Hence

(e^{Kt}P(t))'=3,000,000Ke^{Kt}

Integrating both sides

e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K \int e^{Kt}dt +C

e^{Kt}P(t)=3,000,000K(\frac{e^{Kt}}{K})+C

P(t)=3,000,000+Ce^{-Kt}

But P(0) = 0, so C = -3,000,000

and P(50) = 1,500,000

so

e^{-50K}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow K=-\frac{log(0.5)}{50}=0.0138

And the equation that models the number of people (in millions) who become aware of the product by time t is

P(t)=3,000,000-3,000,000e^{0.0138t}

(a)In this region, are the events "silver" and "black" mutually exclusive:? Choose 1 answer

(A) Yes  (B) No

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected car from this region is mainly silver OR mainly black.  P (silver OR black)=

Answer:

(a)Yes

(b)0.41

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The events silver and black are mutually exclusive. Although a car's color can consist of both silver and black, its main color can only be either silver or black. It cannot be both

(b)In probability theory, given two mutually exclusive events A and B.

P(A or B)=P(A)+(B)

Therefore:

P (silver OR black)= P(silver) + P(black)

= 0.22 + 0.19

= 0.41

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1st = 17A => 17*21 = 357

2nd = A => 1*21 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

17A + A = 18A

18A = 180

A=10

1st = 17A => 17*21 = 357

2nd = A => 1*21 = 21
