The linguist George Kingsley Zipf (1902-1950) proposed a law that bears his name. In a typical English text, the most commonly occurring word is "the." We say that its frequency rankr is 1. The frequency f of occurrence of "the" is about f = 7%. That is, in a typical English text, the word "the" accounts for about 7 out of 100 occurrences of words. The second most common word is "of," so it has a frequency rank of r = 2. Its frequency of occurrence is f = 3.5%. Zipf's law gives a power relationship between frequency of occurrence f, as a percentage, and frequency rank r. (Note that a higher frequency rank means a word that occurs less often.) The relationship is f = cr-1, where c is a constant. (a) Use the frequency information given for "the" to determine the value of c. C = (b) The third most common English word is "and." According to Zipf's law, what is the frequency of this word in a typical English text? Round your answer to one decimal place. % (c) If one word's frequency rank is…

In Utah, it is illegal for a person to drive if their blood alcohol level (BAC) is higher than 0.05. For a typical male, their liver can decrease BAC by 0.015 per hour. If a typical male has a BAC of 0.08 at 6pm and consumes no more alcohol, what is his predicted BAC at 7:30pm?When do you predict a typical male in part a. will have a BAC of 0?If Peter had a BAC of 0.08 at 7pm, do you think he will be legal to drive at exactly 9:00pm? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences
When a forensic expert determines time of death, they often have additional information besides body temperature. Suppose a coroner finds that the person who was murdered had an infection that probably raised the core body temperature to around 102 degrees. Using the same cooling constant, ambient room temperature, and temperature data as in problem 1, make a new estimate for the time of death. Again, write your answer as a time, not just as ? minutes. A(Ambient temp)=68 B(temp)=85.9 K(cooling constant)=0.183702

To compute a student's Grade Point Average (GPA) for a term, the student's grades for each course are weighted by the number of credits for the course. Suppose a student had these grades: 4.0 in a 5 credit Math course 2.5 in a 3 credit Music course 2.7 in a 5 credit Chemistry course 3.3 in a 6 credit Journalism course What is the student's GPA for that term? Round to two decimal places Student's GPA =

tration 20.28. The mean life of a sample of 10 electric bulbs was found to be 1456 hrs. With S.D.=423 hrs. A second sample of 17 bulbs chosen from a different batch showed a mean life of 1280- hrs with S.D=398 hrs. Is there a significant difference in the means of the two samples
"Space Mountain", a classic attraction at Disneyland Park, attracts many tourists to take a ride. Each ride can take tourist at a rate of 5 persons/min. The park is opened at 9:00 AM. Based on daily observations, it is found that the tourist arrival rate is 8 persons/min during 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 5 persons/min during 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM and 2 persons/min after 3:00 PM. Apply a D/D/1 queuing model to calculate what is the maximum number of tourists waiting in the queue? (Round to the nearest integer and fill in the blank with a number only.)
