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)?

Here's a table with average monthly price of a stock from Jan 2021-July 2021. Month Price Jan 29000 Feb 27000 Mar 31000 Apr 30000 May 32000 June 28000 July 29000 Using a 3-period weighted moving average with weights (wt, wt-1, W-2) = (0.6, 0.2, 0.2), the predicted price August is Using an exponential smoothing model with = 0.4, and with the initial predicted price for Jan the same as the observed price for January, the predicted price for August is % Now, let's suppose that we finally observe that the price for August is 30000. The absolute percent error (APE) of your prediction for August is using the weighted moving average method and % using the exponential smoothing model. (Note: Round your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places. For your APE answer for example let's say you get 0.06786 from Excel, then you should type-in 6.79 as your answer here since it is represented as percentage.

5. Suppose that sodium pentobarbital is used to anesthetize a dog. The dog is anesthetized when its bloodstream contains at least 45 milligrams (mg) of sodium pentobarbitol per kilogram of the dog's body weight. Suppose also that sodium pentobarbitol is eliminated from the dog's bloodstream at a rate which is proportional to the amount of sodium pentobarbitol in the bloodstream and that after 5 hours half of the initially prescribed sodium pentobarbitol is elliminated from the bloodstream. Set up and solve an initial value differential equation. What single dose should be administered in order to anesthetize a 50-kg dog for 1 hr?
