On a given day, a particular raccoon will eat the trash from one of three different houses. If he eats from the trash of a particular house, he has a 50% chance to eat from the same house the next day, and a 25% chance each to eat from one of the other two houses. What is the stochastic matrix for this scenario

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On a given day , a particular raccoon will eat the trash from one of three different houses.

Let assume [tex]Y_n[/tex] be a random variable that illustrating  the house raccoon will eat on an unknown given nth day.

If he eats from the trash of a particular house, he has a 50% chance to eat from the same house the next day, and a 25% chance each to eat from one of the other two houses.

There are three states given in the above statement.

So, we can have state 1, state 2 and state 3

Assuming that:

state 1 = house 1

state 2 = house 2

state 3 = house 2

If he eats from the trash of a particular house,

For state 1 : he has a 50% chance to eat from the same house the next day

i.e state 1 = 0.50

and a 25% chance each to eat from one of the other two houses.

For state 2 and state 3: = 0.25

i.e state 2 = 0.25

state 3 = 0.25

NOW:

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 0 \ | \ Y_n = 0] = 0.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 1 \ | \ Y_n = 0] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+2}= 2 \ | \ Y_n = 0] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 0 \ | \ Y_n = 1] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 1 \ | \ Y_n = 1] = 0.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 2 \ | \ Y_n = 1] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 0 \ | \ Y_n = 2] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 1 \ | \ Y_n = 2] = 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P[Y_{n+1 }= 2 \ | \ Y_n = 2] = 0.5}[/tex]

The stochastic matrix for this scenario can be computed as:

                  0          1       2

[tex]P = \left\begin{array}{c}0\\1\\2\end{array}\right \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.5&0.25&0.25\\0.25&0.5&0.25\\0.25&0.25&0.5\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ P =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.5&0.25&0.25\\0.25&0.5&0.25\\0.25&0.25&0.5\end{array}\right] }[/tex]

Answers

Answer: (a). 0.2% (b). 0.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite straightforward, so let us follow this carefully.

(a) let us consider the expression that was given in the question;

(8.47 + 0.06)1/3 from the binomial expression,

⇒  (x + ∆x)n = xn + nxn-1∆x

So using the stated formula above

(8.47 + 0.06)1/3 = (8.47)1/3+ 1/3(8.47)1-(1/3) (0.06) = 2.038 + 1/3(8.47)(2/3) (0.06)

= 2.038 + 0.005

This gives us the algebric value as x = 2.038

Also, the uncertainity is ∆x = 0.005

Let us calculate the percentage of relative uncertainity;

Relative uncertainity percent is given thus;

(∆x / x) * 100

= (0.005 / 2.038) * 100 = 0.2%

We have that the relative uncertainity percent is 0.2%

(b). Also we will consider the expression;

log(6.56 + 0.05)

Let us apply the binomial expression to this;

log(6.56 + 0.05) = log(6.56) + ((0.05)2 / 6.56) = 0.817 + 0.003

This makes the algebric value of x = 0.817

and the uncertainity is  ∆x = 0.003

Therefore the Relative uncertainity percent is = (∆x / x) * 100

= (0.003 / 0.817) * 100 = 0.4%

We have the relative uncertainity percent as 0.4%

Which of the following is an odd function?
f(x) = x3 + 5x2 + x
f (x) = StartRoot x EndRoot
f(x) = x2 + x
f(x) = –x

Answers

Answer: [tex]f(x)=-x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When f(-x)= -f(x), then it is known as an odd function.

i) [tex]f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + x[/tex]

Then, [tex]f(-x)=(-x)^3+5(-x)^2+(-x)=-x^3+5x^2-x\neq -x^3-5x^2-x[/tex]

i.e. [tex]f(-x)\neq-f(x)[/tex]

ii) [tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}[/tex]

[tex]f(-x)=\sqrt{-x}\neq-\sqrt{x}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]f(-x)\neq-f(x)[/tex]

iii) [tex]f(x)=x^2+x[/tex]

[tex]f(-x)=(-x)^2+(-x)=x^2-x\neq-x^2-x[/tex]

i.e. [tex]f(-x)\neq-f(x)[/tex]

iv) [tex]f(x)=-x[/tex]

[tex]f(-x)=-(-x)=x[/tex]

[tex]-f(x)=-(-x)=x[/tex]

i.e. [tex]f(-x)=-f(x)[/tex]

Hence, f(x) is an odd function.

) A basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet. Eight fans can
fit next to each other in a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area. How
many kids would you estimate can fit side by side
over the entire floor?

Answers

Answer:

4178kids

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the basket ball court = Length * Breadth (since it is rectangular in nature)

Area of the basket ball court = 94 feet * 50 feet

Area of the basket ball court = 4700ft²

Area of the space covered by 8 kids = 3ft * 3ft = 9ft²

To know the number of kids that would fit the entire floor, we will use the expression;

Number of kids in the floor = 8*Area of the basket ball court /Area of the space covered by 8 kids = 8*4700/9

= 8*4700/9

= 8*522.22

≈ 4,178 kids

Hence approximately 4,178 kids can fit side by side  over the entire floor

It is known that the birth weights of full-term newborn infants in the U.S. have an approximately normal distribution with a mean weight of 6.8 lbs and a standard deviation of 1.7. Approximately what proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs? Provide all four decimal places in your answer.

Answers

Answer: 0.4419

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The birth weights of full-term newborn infants in the U.S. have an approximately normal distribution with a mean weight of 6.8 lbs and a standard deviation of 1.7.

i.e. [tex]\mu=6.8\ \ \ \text{ and }\sigma= 1.7[/tex]

Let X denotes the birth weight.

Then, the proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs is given by :-

[tex]P(6<X<8)=P(\dfrac{6-6.8}{1.7}<\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{8-6.8}{1.7})\\\\=P(-0.47<Z<0.71)\ \ \ [Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}] \\\\=P(Z<0.71)-(1-P(Z-0.47))\\\\=0.7611-(1-0.6808)\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\= 0.4419[/tex]

Hence, the proportion of newborn babies will have a birth weight between 6 lbs and 8 lbs is 0.4419 .

If a=8 and b=5 and x=4 and y=6m -2 what is the value of m ?

Answers

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 4

y = 6m - 2

a = 8

b = 5

Required:

Value of m

SOLUTION:

x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.

According to the Intersecting chords theorem, [tex] a*b = x*y [/tex]

Thus:

[tex] 8*5 = 4*(6m - 2) [/tex]

Solve for m

[tex] 40 = 24m - 8 [/tex]

[tex] 40 + 8 = 24m - 8 + 8 [/tex]

[tex] 48 = 24m [/tex]

[tex] \frac{48}{24} = \frac{24m}{24} [/tex]

[tex] 2 = m [/tex]

The value of m = 2

a ladder 10 m long,leans against a vertical wall at an angle of 70° to the ground.if the ladder slips down the wall 4m,find,correct to 2 significant figure
(a) the new angle which the ladder makes with the ground

(b) the distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position

Answers

Answer:

(a) The new angle the ladder makes with the ground = 32.66°

(b) The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position = 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the ladder = 10 m

Angle of inclination of the ladder = 70°

Length to which the ladder slips down the wall = 4 m

(a) The height of the wall adjacent to the ladder = 10×sin(70°) ≈ 9.4 m

The new height of the wall adjacent to the ladder after the ladder slips down 4 m = 9.4 - 4 = 5.4 m

Therefore, the new angle of inclination of the ladder = sin⁻¹(5.4/10) = 32.66°

The new angle the ladder makes with the ground = 32.66°

(b) The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from its original position is found as follows

The initial distance of the base of the ladder from the wall  = 10 × cos(70°) = 3.42 m

The distance of the base of the ladder from the wall after slipping 4 m down the wall = 10 × cos(32.66°)  ≈ 8.42 m.

Therefore, the amount by which the ladder slip back on the ground from its original position = 8.42 - 3.42 = 5 m.

The distance the ladder slipped back on the ground from it's original position = 5 m.
