Life cycles. For each initial population in the previous Mindscape, guess whether that initial population gives rise to (1) a population explosion, (2) an extinction, (3) a periodic pattern, (4) a stable pattern, or (5) migratory pattern. You might try one or two more generations to help you confirm or reject your guess.

Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 8 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below.

If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to come back to the skipped part. Tutorial Exercise A new automated production process averages 1.8 breakdowns per day. Because of the cost associated with a breakdown, management is concerned about the possibility of having three or more breakdowns during a day. Assume that breakdowns occur randomly, that the probability of a breakdown is the same for any two time intervals of equal length, and that breakdowns in one period are independent of breakdowns in other periods. What is the probability of having three or more breakdowns during a day? Step 1 It is given that the probability of a breakdown is the same for time intervals of equal length and that breakdowns are independent of one another. These are the necessary properties for a Poisson experiment. Recall the formula for…arrow_forwardA psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample. The rats in the first sample serve as a control and do not get any of the drug. The rats in the second group receive a small dose, and the rats in the third group each get a large dose of the drug. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal.

Suppose that these three stocks are Apple stock (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA). At the end of this month, each month may move up (increase in value), move down (decrease in value) or stay the same. In this case, an experiment consists of observing the price condition across the three stocks. Each of the three conditions (move up, move down, stay same) are equally likely. How many outcomes are in the sample space? List 7 of the outcomes. (use U for move up, D for moving down and S for staying the same) Let A be the event that all the stocks have the same performance.

This phase requires exactly half an hour to finish the garment. Every 30 minutes an assistant arrives at the seamstress's table to collect those finished garments and deliver those that require the process (unprocessed garments).The number of raw garments brought by the assistant to the seamstress is uncertain; 30% of the occasions arrive without garments; 50% of the time he wears one garment and 20% of the time he wears 2 garments. The assistant is instructed that there are never more than three unprocessed garments left on the seamstress's table (those that cannot be left are taken to another seamstress). Determine the transition graph and matrix that models the number of raw garments on the seamstress's table just before the assistant arrives.arrow_forward
