Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Suppose that a room containing 1300 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide (CO). Beginning at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% CO is introduced into the room at a rate of 0.8 cubic feet per minute. The well-circulated smoke and air mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. Let A(t) represent the amount of CO in the room (in cubic feet) after t minutes. (A) Write the DE model for the time rate of change of CO in the room. Also state the initial condition. dA dt A(0) (B) Solve the IVP to find the amount of CO in the room at any time t > 0. A(t) (C) Extended exposure to a CO concentration as low as 0.00012 is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this concentration is reached. t= minutes
Newton's Law of Cooling tells us that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. This can be modeled by the differential equation dT dt k(TA), where T is the temperature of the object after t units of time have passed, A is the ambient temperature of the object's surroundings, and k is a constant of proportionality. Suppose that a cup of coffee begins at 178 degrees and, after sitting in room temperature of 61 degrees for 12 minutes, the coffee reaches 171 degrees. How long will it take before the coffee reaches 155 degrees? Include at least 2 decimal places in your answer. minutes
