An ion channel can be in either open (O) or closed (C) states. If it is open, then it has probability 0.1 of closing in 1 micros

econd; if closed, it has probability 0.3 of opening in 1 microsecond. Calculate the probability of the ion channel going through the following sequence of states: COO. An individual can be either susceptible (S) or infected (I), the probability of infection for a susceptible person is 0.05 per day, and the probability an infected person becoming susceptible is 0.12 per day. Calculate the probability of a person going through the following string of states: SISI.

Answer:

a)  P (COO)  = 0,135

b) P ( SISI) = 0,00015

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the probability of an ion channel in open position is 50 %   0,5

   the probability of an ion channel in close position is 50 %   0,5

probability for the following sequence of states COO

to be closed   0,5    (C)

from (C) to pass to open  0,3  (O)

and to stay O  is 0,9

Then the probability of the sequence of states COO is

P (COO)  = 0,5 * 0,3 * 0,9  

P (COO)  = 0,135

b) If people are either infected or susceptible, then

Probability of an individual infected is  0,5

Probability of an individual susceptible  is 0,5

to pass from susceptible to infected is 0,05

to pass from infected to susceptible is 0,12

then

P ( SISI) = 0,5 * 0,05*0,12*0,05

P ( SISI) = 0,00015

probability for the following sequence of states COO

3x^2 + 4x = -8<br> solve using quadratic formula
Firdavs [7]

Use the quadratic equation to solve this (image of the quadratic equation is below)

Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:

ax^{2} +bx +c = 0

To make the equation 3x² + 4x = -8 into a quadratic function you must bring -8 to the left side of the equation so it equals zero. To do this add 8 to both sides

3x² + 4x + 8= -8 + 8

3x² + 4x + 8 = 0

That means that in this equation...

a = 3

b = 4

c = 8

^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve  (Keep in mind that +/- is ± )

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{(4)^{2}-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{16-96}}{6}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{-80}}{6}

^^^There is no real solution to this equation. You must have an imaginary solution

\frac{-4+/-i\sqrt{80}}{6}

Simplify

\frac{-2+/-2i \sqrt{5}}{3}

Hope this helped!

There is a competition in the cinema to win free tickets. You must guess the ages of the four employees. Here are the clues: - W
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Kirk is <u>28</u> years old, Brian is <u>36</u> years old, Matt is <u>18</u> years old, and the manager is <u>24</u> years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be Kirk's age.

Let b be Brian's age.

Let m be Matt's age.

Let m_{1} be the boss/manager's age.

From the information given, we can set up 4 equations:

k+b+m+m_{1}=106

k=2(m_{1}-10)

b=2m_{1}-12

m=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}+6

Rewrite the first equation, substituting k, b, and m in terms of m_{1} to get:

2(m_{1}-10)+(2m_{1}-12)+(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}+6)+m_{1}=106

Open up the parentheses using the distributive property (which is a(b-c)=ab-ac) and combine like terms to get:

5.5m_{1}-26=106

Add 26 to both sides to reach:

5.5m_{1}=132

Thus, m_{1}=24. Substitute 24 for m_{1} in the second, third, and fourth original equations to find that k=28, b=36, and m=18. Therefore, Kirk is <u>28</u> years old, Brian is <u>36</u> years old, Matt is <u>18</u> years old, and the manager is <u>24</u> years old. To check, you can add up all of the ages to get 106.

Hope this helps :)
