1. Two species are said to be symbiotes if they help each other to survive. For instance, clown fish and sea anemones are symbiotes (they protect each other from different types of predators). Say in some region, without sea anemones to shelter them, the clown fish population is stable (that is, the clown fish population in the k + 1-th season is the same as the population in the k-th season). However, for each sea anemone present, an extra 0.2 clown fish are present in the next season. Similarly, in the absence of clown fish, the sea anemone population in the k + 1-th season is only 70% of the population in the k-th season. However, for each clown fish present, an extra 0.2 anemones are present the next season. (a) Write down difference equations for the number of clown fish and sea anemones in the k + 1-th season in terms of the clown fish ck and sea anemones az in the k-th season. (b) Write the system of difference equations above as a matrix equation, then diago- nalize the matrix.

A researcher thinks some social media sites are more prone to narcissistic behavior (excessive posting) than others. To examine the relationship between narcissism and social media, she recruits users of three different social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), follows them for 24 hours and records the number of posts made by each user. The number of posts is given in the table below. Twitter Facebook Instagram 10 7 14 10 8. 10 10 10 11 9. www. 12 wwww. 11 13 12 8. 7 8. 11 8 10 12 11 11 a.

The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough. By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. a.What was the proportionate mortality rate from flu during the 2019-2020 flu season? b.What was the case fatality rate from flue during the 2019-2020 flu season?
The market of a cosmetic product is divided into two competitors, Alpha and Beta. Suppose that Beta has just entered the market and has 10% of the market shares, which means Alpha has the remaining 90%. Assume that every year, 26% of Alpha clients will switch to Beta, and that 14% of Beta clients will switch to Alphá. What will the market shares be in the long run? O a) Alpha: 55%, Beta: 45% O b) Alpha: 44%, Beta: 56% O c) None of these O d) Alpha: 45%, Beta: 65% O e) Alpha: 41%, Beta: 59% O f) Alpha: 37%, Beta: 63%
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
Approximately one-third of all human twins are identical (one-egg) and two thirds are fraternal (two-egg) twins. Identical twins are necessarily the same sex, with female and male being equally likely. Among fraternal twins, approximately one-fourth are both female, one-fourth are both male, and half are one female and one male. Finally, among all births in theUnited States, approximately 10 in 1000 are twin births. A = {a U.S. birth results in twin females} B = {a U.S. birth results in identical twins} C = {a U.S. birth results in twins} Find P(A ∩ B) Find P(A ∩ C). Find P(B ∩ C).
Two bicycle manufacturers, Alpha Cycles (A) and Best Bikes (B), buy parts from the suppliers Firm Frames (F), Great Gears (G) and Happy Handlebars (H). During the year 2019: 50% of the frames from Firm Frames (F) were sold to Alpha Cycles (A) and 50% were sold to Best Bikes (B). 75% of the gear sets from Great Gears (G) were sold to Alpha Cycles (A) and 25% were sold to Best Bikes (B). 40% of the handlebars from Happy Handlebars (H) were sold to Alpha Cycles (A) and 60% were sold to Best Bikes (B). Draw a network diagram with input nodes F, G and H, and output nodes A and B, that represents the proportion of parts sold from each supplier to each bicycle manufacturer Write down the matrix that represents this network. Use the matrix that you found to determine how many parts were sold to Alpha Cycles (A) during 2019, if the total number of parts sold to the two bicycle manufacturers by Firm Frames (F), Great Gears (G) and Happy Handlebars (H) was 240, 320 and 300 parts respectively.
Suppose the entire cola industry produces only two colas. Given that a person last purchased cola 1, there a 70% chance that her next purchase will be cola 1. Given that a person last purchased cola 2, there is an 75% chance that her next purchase will be cola 2. Suppose that each customer makes one purchase of cola during any week (52 weeks=1 year). Suppose there are 150 million customers. One selling unit of cola costs the company $0.5 to produce and is sold for $2. For $200 million per year, Britney Spears (by an advertising song) guarantees to decrease from 30% to 15% the fraction of cola 1 customers who switch to cola 2 after a purchase. Should the company that makes cola 1 hire Britney Spears?

Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
An experiment is conducted to study the energy requirements of three physical activities: running, walking and cycling. Eight subjects are selected at random. It is thought that metabolic differences among the subjects might affect the kilocalories required for a given activity, hence, the experiment is done by taking into account of these differences. Each subject is asked to run, walk and cycle a measured distance, and the kilocalories expended per kilometre is determined for each subject during cach activity. The activities are run in a random order with time for recovery between activities. Subject Running Walking Cycling 0.7 1 1.4 1.1 2 1.5 1.2 0.8 3 1.3 1.3 0.7 0.8 1.8 4 1.7 0.7 0.1 5 6 1.6 1.5 1.2 0.7 0.4 0.6 7 1.7 1.1 8 2.0 1.3 a) State a statistical model and its assumptions. b) By using an ANOVA test, interpret whether there are differences in energy requirements for the three activities. Use a = 0.05. c) By using an ANOVA test, interpret whether there are differences in…

A murder scene is found with two types of blood - that of the victim and that ofthe murderer. As luck would have it, the unidentified blood has an incredibly rareblood disorder, only found in 1 in every million men. The capital and surroundingareas have a population of 20 million - and the police are sure the murderer isfrom the capital. The police have already started cataloging all citizens' bloodtypes for their new super crime-database. They already have nearly 1 millionmale samples in there - and bingo - one man, Mr XY, is a match. He is promptlymarched off to trial, there is no other evidence, but the jury are told that the oddsare 1 in a million that he is innocent. He is duly convicted. The question is, howlikely is it that he did not commit this crime?
