Due to a bad crop year, the cost of cherries is projected to increase 133% this year. A pound of cherries currently costs $2.16.

What can you expect the new price per pound to be?

To solve this problem, or one of sorts, you can multiply the current price (2.16) by 1.33 (the percentage as a decimal).

2.16*1.33 = 2.8728

Round to two decimal places (and that’s the number of decimal places for money), and you can expect the new price per pound of cherries to be about $2.87.

Please help me with the below question.

6a. By the convolution theorem,

$L\{t^3\star e^{5t}\} = L\{t^3\} \times L\{e^{5t}\} = \dfrac6{s^4} \times \dfrac1{s-5} = \boxed{\dfrac5{s^4(s-5)}}$

6b. Similarly,

$L\{e^{3t}\star \cos(t)\} = L\{e^{3t}\} \times L\{\cos(t)\} = \dfrac1{s-3} \times \dfrac s{1+s^2} = \boxed{\dfrac s{(s-3)(s^2+1)}}$

7. Take the Laplace transform of both sides, noting that the integral is the convolution of $e^t$ and $f(t)$ .

$\displaystyle f(t) = 3 - 4 \int_0^t e^\tau f(t - \tau) \, d\tau$

$\implies \displaystyle F(s) = \dfrac3s - 4 F(s) G(s)$

where $g(t) = e^t$ . Then $G(s) = \frac1{s-1}$ , and

$F(s) = \dfrac3s - \dfrac4{s-1} F(s) \implies F(s) = \dfrac{\frac3s}{\frac{s+3}{s-1}} = 3\dfrac{s-1}{s(s+3)}$

We have the partial fraction decomposition,

$\dfrac{s-1}{s(s+3)} = \dfrac13 \left(-\dfrac1s + \dfrac4{s+3}\right)$

Then we can easily compute the inverse transform to solve for f(t) :

$F(s) = -\dfrac1s + \dfrac4{s+3}$

$\implies \boxed{f(t) = -1 + 4e^{-3t}}$

You have a six-sided die that you roll once. Let Ri denote the event that the roll is i. Let G j denote the event that the roll

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a. $P (R3 | G1)=\frac{1}{5}$

b. $P (R6| G3)= \frac{1}{3}$

c. $P(G3|E)=\frac{2}{3}$

d. $P (E|G3)=\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space associated with the random experiment of throwing a dice is is the equiprobable space {R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6}. Then,

a. The conditional probability that 3 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 1? $P (R3 | G1) = \frac{P (R3\bigcap G1)}{P(G1)} = \frac{1/6}{5/6} = \frac{1}{5}$

b. What is the conditional probability that 6 is rolled given that the roll is greater than 3? $P (R6| G3) = \frac{P (R6\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{1/6}{3/6} = \frac{1}{3}$

c. What is P [GIE], the conditional probability that the roll is greater than 3 given that the roll is even? $P(G3|E) = \frac{P (G3\bigcap E)}{P(E)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}$

d. Given that the roll is greater than 3, what is the conditional probability that the roll is even? $P (E|G3) = \frac{P (E\bigcap G3)}{P(G3)} = \frac{2/6}{3/6} = \frac{2}{3}$
