11. Purchase of a Product The market research department at a manufacturing plant determines that 20% of the people who purchase the plant's product during any month will not purchase it the next month. On the other hand, 30% of the people who do not purchase the product during any month will purchase it the next month. In a population of 1000 people, 100 people purchased the product this month. How many will purchase the product (a) next month and (b) in 2 months?

12. Spread of a Virus A medical researcher is studying
the spread of a virus in a population of 1000 laboratory
mice. During any week, there is an 80% probability
that an infected mouse will overcome the virus, and
during the same week there is a 10% probability that a
noninfected mouse will become infected. Three

7. Airplane Allocation An airline has 30 airplanes in
Los Angeles, 12 airplanes in St. Louis, and 8 airplanes
in Dallas. During an eight-hour period, 20% of the
planes in Los Angeles fly to St. Louis and 10% fly to
television on any day always watch for less than an hour
the next day. One-fourth of those who watch television
for less than an hour one day will watch an hour or more
the next day. Half of the students watched television for
an hour or more today. How many will watch television
for an hour or more (a) tomorrow, (b) in 2 days, and (c)
in 30 days?
Dallas. Of the planes in St. Louis, 25% fly to Los Angeles
and 50% fly to Dallas. Of the planes in Dallas, 12.5%
fly to Los Angeles and 50% fly to St. Louis. How many
planes are in each city after 8 hours?
8. Chemistry In a chemistry experiment, a test tube
contains 10,000 molecules of a compound. Initially. 20%
of the molecules are in a gas state, 60% are in a liquid
state, and 20% are in a solid state. After introducing
a catalyst, 40% of the gas molecules change to liquid,
30% of the liquid molecules change to solid, and 50%
of the solid molecules change to liquid. How many
molecules are in each state after introducing the catalyst?
14. Sports Activities Students in a gym class have a
choice of swimming or playing basketball each day.
Thirty percent of the students who swim one day will
swim the next day. Sixty percent of the students who
play basketball one day will play basketball the next
day. Today, 100 students swam and 150 students played
basketball. How many students will swim (a) tomorrow,
(b) in two days, and (c) in four days?

than one pack per day. During any month, there is a
5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking
a pack or less per day, and a 2% probability that a
nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack
per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per
day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10%
probability of increasing to more than a pack per day.
For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there
is a 5% probability of quitting and a 1o% probability of
dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people
will be in each group (a) in 1 month, (b) in 2 months,
and (c) in 1 year?
