Pollution. An oil tanker aground on a reef is losing oil and producing an oil slick that is radiating outward at a rate given approximately by d R d t = 50 t + 9 t ≥ 0 where R is the radius (in feet) of the circular slick after t minutes. Find the radius of the slick after 16 minutes if the radius is 0 when t = 0.

Solution Summary: The author calculates the radius of the slick after 16 minutes if it is 0 when t=0.
EXAMPLE 6.2
In Example 5.4, we considered the random variables Y₁ (the proportional amount
of gasoline stocked at the beginning of a week) and Y2 (the proportional amount of
gasoline sold during the week). The joint density function of Y₁ and Y2 is given by
3y1, 0 ≤ y2 yı≤ 1,
f(y1, y2) =
0,
elsewhere.
Find the probability density function for U = Y₁ - Y₂, the proportional amount of
gasoline remaining at the end of the week. Use the density function of U to find E(U).

a
If U has a x² distribution with v df, find E(U) and V (U).
b Using the results of Theorem 7.3, find E(S2) and V (S2) when Y₁, Y2,..., Y, is a random
sample from a normal distribution with mean μ and variance o².
According to a survey conducted by the American Bar Association, 1 in every 410 Americans
is a lawyer, but 1 in every 64 residents of Washington, D.C., is a lawyer.
a If you select a random sample of 1500 Americans, what is the approximate probability that
the sample contains at least one lawyer?
b If the sample is selected from among the residents of Washington, D.C., what is the ap-
proximate probability that the sample contains more than 30 lawyers?
c If you stand on a Washington, D.C., street corner and interview the first 1000 persons who
walked by and 30 say that they are lawyers, does this suggest that the density of lawyers
passing the corner exceeds the density within the city? Explain.
