Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 6000 students. Determine a differential equation

governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it. (Use k > 0 for the constant of proportionality and x for x(t).)

Answer:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x], x(0)=0, k>0

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Students =6000

Number of students who have contracted the flu =x(t)

Number of students who have not contracted the flu =6000- x(t)

Now, the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it.

\dfrac{dx(t)}{dt}\propto x(t)[6000-x(t)] \\$Introducing the constant of proportionality, k, we have:\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x]

Initially, the campus is uninfected, therefore: x(0)=0

Therefore, a differential equation governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu is:

\dfrac{dx}{dt}= kx[6000-x], x(0)=0, k>0

The expected values of the binomial distribution are given as follows:

1. 214.

2. 21.

3. 31.

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

It is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

For item 1, the parameters are:

p = 3/7, n = 500.

Hence the expected value is:

E(X) = np = 500 x 3/7 = 1500/7 = 214.

For item 2, the parameters are:

p = 0.083, n = 250.

Hence the expected value is:

E(X) = np = 250 x 0.083 = 21.

For item 3, the parameters are:

p = 1/13, n = 400.

Hence the expected value is:

E(X) = np = 400 x 1/13 = 31.

Omar, Hala and Lujain got paid a total of $240 for cleaning neighborhood cars. They split the money in the ratio of 5: 9: 10. Ho
Levart [38]

Answer:

Total amount Omar earn = $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount Omar, Hala and Lujain got paid = $240

Ratio of money Omar, Hala and Lujain got paid = 5:9:10

Find:

Total amount Omar earn

Computation:

Total amount Omar earn = [Total amount Omar, Hala and Lujain got paid][Omar'ratio / Total ratio]

Total amount Omar earn = [240][5 / (5+9+10)]

Total amount Omar earn = [240][5 / (24)]

Total amount Omar earn = [24][5]

Total amount Omar earn = $120
