4. Suppose that a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated campus of 1000 students. After this, the student body population doesn't change and students only interact with other students. In ten days there have been 5 cases of the flu on campus. Suppose y(t) is the number of people at the campus who have caught the flu after t days. Then 1000 – y represents the number of people who have not yet contracted the flu. Lets assume that the rate of spread of the flu is directly proportional to the total number of possible interactions between the these groups. In simple terms, increasing the number of interactions between the inflected and the non inflected causes the flu to spread quickly. A differential equation which represents this situation is given by: dy = ky(1000 – y) dt y(0) = 1, y(10) = 5

10.23. Question. An umbrella-shaped island has a population of 499 healthy people. Alice, who is injected with the T-virus, enters the island on day 0. It is known that anyone infected with the T-virus will become a zombie after 24 hours. Assume that the infected (zombies are considered infected) will spread the virus (through biting) and no one on this island can escape from it. The rate of virus transmission is proportional to the product of the number of infected and non-infected. Thus, if x(t) denotes the number of the infected on day t, then dx dt = kx(500 — x). On day 10, it is observed that 20 people are already infected. Answer the following questions. (a) How many zombies are on the island on day 16? (b) On day 20, how many people are infected but not yet turned into a zombie? (c) A rescue boat with 50 available seats is to be sent to the island. What is the earliest day the boat should be sent to ensure it can rescue all survivors (those not infected)?
Consider a two component parallel system in which both components have times to failure and times to 0.0024 f/hr and µ1 = = 0.001 f /hr, 12 repair that are exponentially distributed. The data is 1, 0.003 r/hr and µ2 = 0.005 r/hr. Evaluate the reliability or probability of success for a mission of 1000 hr. (hint: form a history for each component using the data for failure rate and repair rate)
Please solve within 30 minutes. Suppose the number of hurricanes N in a given year is Poisson distributed with a mean of 4. Losses Xi due to individual hurricanes is exponentially distributed with a mean of 1,000. Let X denote the total loss due to the N hurricanes. Find Var(X).
6. A small company can employ 3 workers. Each worker independently stays on the job for an exponentially distributed time with a mean of one year and then quits. When a worker quits, it takes the company an exponentially distributed time with a mean of 1/10 of a year to hire a replacement for that worker (independently of how long it takes to replace other workers). If the company takes in $1000 per day in revenue when it has 3 workers, $800 per day when it has 2 workers, and $500 per day when it has 0 or 1 workers, what is the company's long-run average daily revenue?
