Chemical potentials and channel open probabilities An alternative way to think of the probability of gating of membrane-bound channels is to think of the membrane as consisting of two species of channel, closed and open, at concentrations celosed and copen, respectively. These two species are subject to constant interconversion characterized by an equilibrium in which their respective chemical potentials are equal. By setting the chemical potentials for these two species equal, work out an expression for the open probability.

A bank operates both a drive-up facility and a walk-up window. On a randomly selected day, let X be the proportion of time that the drive-up facility is in use (at least one customer is being served or waiting to be served) and Y be the proportion of time that the walk-up window is in use.

Formula: Expected value = E(x) = x1P1+x2P2+ ... + xnPn Where x = the outcome and P = probability of outcome Dr. Kimball likes to go fishing with his son. To motivate his son, he pays him for the first fish that he catches. There are two types of edible fish that his son can catch: Trout and Salmon. If he catches a Trout he pays him $5, if he catches Salmon $3. There is a 20% chance that he will catch a trout and 50% that he will catch a Salmon. On average, how much does Dr. Kimball pay his son on a trip?

Show work for every step. Two types of customers (Preferred and Regular) call a service center. Preferred customers call with rate 3 per hour, and Regular customers call with rate 5 per hour. The interarrival times of the calls for each customer type are exponentially distributed. If the call center opens at 8:00 AM, what is the probability that the first call (regardless of customers type who calls) is received before 8:15 AM?
