Answer:
y'(t) = k(700,000-y(t)) k>0 is the constant of proportionality
y(0) =0
Step-by-step explanation:
(a.) Formulate a differential equation and initial condition for y(t) = the number of people who have heard the news t days after it has happened.
If we suppose that news spreads through a city of fixed size of 700,000 people at a time rate proportional to the number of people who have not heard the news that means
<em>dy/dt = k(700,000-y(t)) </em>where k is some constant of proportionality.
Since no one has heard the news at first, we have
<em>y(0) = 0 (initial condition)
</em>
We can then state the initial value problem as
y'(t) = k(700,000-y(t))
y(0) =0
Answer:
So the value of the test statistic is -0.85.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a sample of 1800 computer chips revealed that 53% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use. The company's promotional literature states that 54% of the chips do not fail in the first 1000 hours of their use.
We get that:

We calculate the standar deviation:

We calculate the value of the test statistic:

So the value of the test statistic is -0.85.
Answer:
Bruce's function:

Felicia's function:

<em>Bruce's tiles cover more area</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Functions
</u>
We need to compare the area covered by tile of both Bruce and Felicia. We are required to find the function y, the area covered by the number of tiles he used, x.
We know the tiles used by Bruce cover 1/4 of a square foot, this is written as:

To find the function for Felicia, we must use the data provided in the table
For example,
For x=9 tiles, y=1 sq ft
For x=18 tiles, y=2 sq ft
If we set

We can find the value of k


Thus

Testing the constructed function with x=18 and x=27


The function is complete and accurate.
Comparing both functions we see that Bruce's tiles cover more area because

add the mileage 51+69 = 120 km
add the times 4+5=9 hours
now divide the two
120/9 = 13.3 km per hour average speed
Answer:
12.8
