The alumni of Athabasca University contribute (C) or do not contribute (NC) to the alumni fund according to this pattern: 75% of those who contribute one year will contribute the next year; 15% of those who do not contribute one year will contribute the next. Give the transition matrix. Forty-five percent of last year’s graduating class contributed this year. What percent will contribute next year? What percent will contribute in two years?

Population Movement In 2008 the population of a country, broken down by regions, was 54.2 million in the Northeast, 65.1 million in the Midwest, 112.5 million in the South, and 70.2 million in the West. The table below shows the population movement during the period 2008–2009. (Thus, 99.23% of the population in the Northeast stayed there, while 0.16% of the population in the Northeast moved to the Midwest, and so on.)

A company rents moving trucks out of two locations: Detroit and Milwaukee. Some of their customers rent a truck in one city and return it in the other city, and the rest of their customers rent and return the truck in the same city. The company owns a total of 500 trucks. The company has seen the following trend: About 35 percent of the trucks in Detroit move to Milwaukee each week. About 25 percent of the trucks in Milwaukee move to Detroit each week. Suppose right now Detroit has 330 trucks. [2₁] If the vector t represents the distribution of trucks, where 21 is the number in Detroit and 22 is F2 the number in Milwaukee, find the matrix A so that At is the distribution of trucks after 1 week. [Note: You will want to use Sage to complete this problem.] A How many trucks will be in each city after 1 week?

A researcher wishes to try three different techniques to lower the blood pressure of students diagnosed with high blood pressure in the school sickbay. The subjects are randomly assigned to three groups; the first group takes medication from the school nurse, the second group takes exercises led by the school sports master, and the third group follows a special diet from the school pantry. After four weeks, the reduction in each person’s blood pressure is recorded in the table below.

In a clinical experiment, people newly diagnosed with depression were randomly placed into two treatment groups: group A only took medication to treat depression and group B took medication and also underwent counseling. They then tracked their progress and grouped results into two categories after one year of treatment: "good outcome" and "poor outcome" based on improvement from initial diagnosis. The results of this study are represented by the following contingency table: poor outcome good outcome medication & counseling medication only 24 276 42 258 Perform a relative risk analysis on this dataset.

A car wash has three different types of washes: basic, classic, and ultimate. Based on records, 45% of customers get the basic wash, 35% get the classic wash, and 20% get the ultimate wash. Some customers also vacuum out their cars after the wash. The car wash records show that 10% of customers who get the basic wash, 25% of customers who get the classic wash, and 60% of customers who get the ultimate wash also vacuum their cars. The probabilities are displayed in the tree diagram.What is the probability that a randomly selected customer purchases the basic or classic car wash if they vacuum their car?A) 0.13B) 0.48C) 0.52D) 0.80

= Consider an economy with three sectors, Chemicals & Metals, Fuels & Power, and Machinery. Chemicals sells 30% of its output to Fuels and 50% to Machinery and retains the rest. Fuels sells 80% of its output to Chemicals and 10% to Machinery and retains the rest. Machinery sells 40% of its output to Chemicals and 30% to Fuels and retains the rest. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. Distribution of Output from: Chemicals Fuels 0.2 0.8 0.3 0.5 Machinery 0.4 0.3 0.3 Purchased by: Chemicals Fuels Machinery 0.1 0.1 (Type integers or decimals.) b. Develop a system of equations that leads to prices at which each sector's income matches its expenses. Then write the augmented matrix that can be row reduced to find these prices. The first, second, and third columns of the matrix should correspond to Chemicals, Fuels, and Machinery, respectively. The augmented matrix is 0.8 0.8 0.4 0 0.3 -0.9 0.5 0 0.5 0.1 -0.9 0 (Type an integer or decimal for…
