The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter 1.7, Problem 52E

Solve the following problems. (See Examples 3, 4, and 5.)

Trucking Pay According to data from the National Transportation Institute, the average annual pay for truckers P (in thousands of dollars) can be approximated by

P = .396 × 2 − 7.09 × + 74.9 ( 5 ≤ x ≤ 15 ) ,

where x is the number of years since 2000. Find the pay for the following years.

Assuming the trend continues, find the following.

The first full year when annual pay recovered to be above $60 thousand.

2. Consider the ODE u' = ƒ (u) = u² + r where r is a parameter that can take the values r = −1, −0.5, -0.1, 0.1. For each value of r: (a) Sketch ƒ(u) = u² + r and determine the equilibrium points. (b) Draw the phase line. (d) Determine the stability of the equilibrium points. (d) Plot the direction field and some sample solutions,i.e., u(t) (e) Describe how location of the equilibrium points and their stability change as you increase the parameter r. (f) Using the matlab program phaseline.m generate a solution for each value of r and the initial condition u(0) = 0.9. Print and turn in your result for r = −1. Do not forget to add a figure caption. (g) In the matlab program phaseline.m set the initial condition to u(0) = 1.1 and simulate the ode over the time interval t = [0, 10] for different values of r. What happens? Why? You do not need to turn in a plot for (g), just describe what happens.

The following are suggested designs for group sequential studies. Using PROCSEQDESIGN, provide the following for the design O’Brien Fleming and Pocock.• The critical boundary values for each analysis of the data• The expected sample sizes at each interim analysisAssume the standardized Z score method for calculating boundaries.Investigators are evaluating the success rate of a novel drug for treating a certain type ofbacterial wound infection. Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
