Within a large metropolitan area, 20% of the commuters currently use the public transportation system, whereas the remaining 80% commute via automobile. The city has recently revitalized and expanded its public transportation system. It is expected that 6 months from now 30% of those who are now commuting to work via automobile will switch to public transportation, and 70% will continue to commute via automobile. At the same time, it is expected that 10% of those now using public transportation will commute via automobile and 90% will continue to use public cransportation. In the long run, what percentage of the commuters will be using public transportation? (Round your answer to the nearest percent.)

Intensive care units (ICUS) generally treat the sickest patients in a hospital. ICUS are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUS as efficiently as possible in hospital. According to a 2017 large-scale study of elderly ICU patients, the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.4 days (Critical Care Medicine journal article). Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. Do not round intermediate calculations. a. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less (to 4 decimals)? b. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days (to 4 decimals)? c. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days (to 4 decimals)?
Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.2 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014). d. Write an equation that represents the linear model for streaming videos. Let S = the total sales of streaming videos in billions of dollars, and t = the number of years after 2009. e. In what year do the models predict streaming video sales to exceed DVD sales?
In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…

Government economic studies reveal that young adults, not middle-aged or older adults, are having the most difficult time in today’s economy. Although the nation’s labor market shows a decline in the unemployment rate, the percentage of young adults, ages 18 to 24, currently employed (54 percent) is at the lowest level since the government data collection began in 1948. If you were working for a national survey organization doing a general public survey of young adults and older adults, what topics and questions would you design into your survey to elaborate on this finding?

ICUS are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUS as efficiently as possible in a hospital. Suppose that a large-scale study of elderly ICU patients shows that the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.2 days. Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less? (b) What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days? (c) What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days?
Many regions in North and South Carolina and Georgia have experienced rapid population growth over the last 10 years. It is expected that the growth will continue over the next 10 years. This has motivated many of the large grocery store chains to build new stores in the region. The Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores Inc. chain is no exception. The director of planning for Kelley’s Super Grocery Stores wants to study adding more stores in this region. He believes there are two main factors that indicate the amount families spend on groceries. The first is their income and the other is the number of people in the family. The director gathered the following sample information. Family Food Income Size 1 $ 5.04 $ 73.98 4 2 4.08 54.90 2 3 5.76 94.14 4 4 3.48 52.02 1 5 4.20 65.70 2 6 4.80 53.64 4 7 4.32 79.74 3 8 5.04 68.58 4 9 6.12 165.60 5 10 3.24 64.80 1 11 4.80…
In 2015, over 30,00030,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and the number of inpatient stays and emergency visits to hospitals related to opiods increased dramatically compared to previous years. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered with the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to gather data on opioid-related deaths and hospitalizations. These data include information about inpatient stays, emergency department visits, age, sex, income, and opiod-related use. For a given patient admitted to a hopsital for an opioid-related event, identify which of these events are disjoint.
AJ’s sleep pattern had been fluctuating due to stress and diet, so he started to keep a diary of how many hours he slept each night. On the 4th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 9.4 hours, which was the most sleep he got any night. Gradually, he got less sleep each successive night until, on the 18th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 6.2 hours, which was the least sleep he got any night. After keeping his diary for 6 months, he realized that the number of hours he got each night followed a sinusoidal curve. Let t be the number of nights since he started his diary, and s be how many hours he slept that night. It may be helpful to draw a crude sketch of the sleep time function and label the known t − and s − values on it. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE SIN or COS Maximum s − value = Minimum s − value = ______________ ______________ Middle s − value = ______________ = D Amplitude = ______________ = A ⇒ B = ______________ Given the crude sketch of the height function, the…
An aerosolized vaccine for measles was developed in Mexico and has been used on 44 million children since 1980. Aerosolized vaccines have the advantages of being able to be administered by people without clinical training and do not cause injection‐associated infections. The percentage of children developing an immune response to measles after receiving the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine is 95%,95%, and for those receiving the aerosolized vaccine, it is 85%85% . There are 2020 children to be vaccinated for measles using the aerosolized vaccine in a small rural village in India. We are going to count the number who developed an immune response to measles after the vaccination. (b) What is the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles after receiving the aerosolized vaccine? (Enter your answer as a proportion rounded to four decimal places.)
