Learning Thoery In a learning theory project, the proportion P of correct responses after n trials can be modeled by p = 0.83/(1
elena-s [515]

Answer:

a)P(n=3) = \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2(3)}}= \frac{0.83}{1+ e^{-0.6}} = 0.536

b) P(n=7) = \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2(7)}}= \frac{0.83}{1+ e^{-1.4}} = 0.666

c) 0.75 =\frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2n}}

1+ e^{-0.2n} = \frac{0.83}{0.75}= \frac{83}{75}

e^{-0.2n} = \frac{83}{75}-1= \frac{8}{75}

ln e^{-0.2n} = ln (\frac{8}{75})

-0.2 n = ln(\frac{8}{75})

And then if we solve for t we got:

n = \frac{ln(\frac{8}{75})}{-0.2} = 11.19 trials

d) If we find the limit when n tend to infinity for the function we have this:

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2t}} = 0.83

So then the number of correct responses have a limit and is 0.83 as n increases without bound.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression for the proportion of correct responses after n trials:

P(n) = \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2t}}

Part a

For this case we just need to replace the value of n=3 in order to see what we got:

P(n=3) = \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2(3)}}= \frac{0.83}{1+ e^{-0.6}} = 0.536

So the number of correct reponses  after 3 trials is approximately 0.536.

Part b

For this case we just need to replace the value of n=7 in order to see what we got:

P(n=7) = \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2(7)}}= \frac{0.83}{1+ e^{-1.4}} = 0.666

So the number of correct responses after 7 weeks is approximately 0.666.

Part c

For this case we want to solve the following equation:

0.75 =\frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2n}}

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

1+ e^{-0.2n} = \frac{0.83}{0.75}= \frac{83}{75}

e^{-0.2n} = \frac{83}{75}-1= \frac{8}{75}

Now we can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln e^{-0.2n} = ln (\frac{8}{75})

-0.2 n = ln(\frac{8}{75})

And then if we solve for t we got:

n = \frac{ln(\frac{8}{75})}{-0.2} = 11.19 trials

And we can see this on the plot attached.

Part d

If we find the limit when n tend to infinity for the function we have this:

lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{0.83}{1+e^{-0.2t}} = 0.83

So then the number of correct responses have a limit and is 0.83 as n increases without bound.

Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden. Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of
likoan [24]

Answer:

1.2x +x =792

2.2x =792

And we got finally:

x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

1.2x +x =792

2.2x =792

And we got finally:

x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft
