A new town was incorporated in 1960. The size of the town's population
was recorded every 5 years after 1960. Using the variables x, for number of
years since 1960, and y, for the size of the population, three models were
created to predict the population from the number of years since 1960.
Special dyes have been developed that only bind to DNA. The intensity of the color is directly related to the quantity of DNA present in the cell. A haploid cell would have a “low” amount of color, a cell in G1 would have a “medium” amount of color, and a cell in M phase would have a “high” amount of color.
Is this sort of assessment quantitative, qualitative or semi-quantitative? Justify your reasoning.
A patient starts with a concentration of medicine in her bloodstream equal to 10 milligrams per liter. Each day, the patient decomposes 60% of the medication in her bloodstream. However, the doctor gives her enough medication daily to increase the concentration in her bloodstream by 3 milligram per liter. What is the updating function and initial condition describing this DTDS? Graph the updating function, labeling axes appropriately.
Find the equation of the solution function for this DTDS explicitly.

- At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-one wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. Based on long-term experience, σ can be assumed to be 285 cm/sec. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site.

- A model is built to explain the evolution of spending on tourism and recreation in a certain group of families (Y in USD/person/year). As potential explanatory variables are considered: X1 average annual income per person in the family (in USD), X2 – number of people in the family, X3 – nature of employment of the head of household If X3=1, when the head of the family is self-employed, X3=0, when the head of the family is an employee Based on the collected data, linear correlation coefficients between variables were calculated and obtained 0,84 R, = -0,47 [1 -0,55 0, 62 R= 1 -0,42 0,75 1 Using Hellwig's method, select the optimal combination of explanatory variables for the tourism and recreation expenditure model.arrow_forwardThe rate of increase of COVID-19 infection is directly proportional to the number of people infected and to the number people not yet infected.

To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

- Justina and Frank, a couple, operate a joint account at ECOBANK Ghana Limited. Both have decided to obtain cash from an ATM (cash machine) located at University of Ghana Campus. They suspect that the rate at which they spend cash is influenced by the amount of cash they withdrew at their previous visit to the ATM. To help them understand this, they deliberately vary the amounts they withdraw. They record, for each visit to an ATM, the amount, GHS (y), withdrawn, and the amount of hours, x, until their next visit to an ATM. The table below shows the records for all their visits in hours and the corresponding amount they withdrew in each instance.
