Suppose the number of people who register to attend the Tucson Festival of Books can be modeled by P(t) = k(1.1), where t is the number of days since the registration window opened. Assume k is a positive constant. Which of the following represents how long it will take in days for the number of people who register to double? t = In(1.1) In(2) In(2) t = In(1.1) In(1.1) t = t = t = In(2) - In(k) In(2) In(k) + In(1.1) In(2) - In(k) In(1.1)
For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons. Months Unemployed Number Unemployed 1 1029 2 1686 3 2269 4 2675 5 3487 6 4652 7 4145 8 3587 9 2325 10 1120 Let x be a random variable indicating the number of months a person is unemployed. a.

West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year. Excel File: data05-19.xls x 10 f(x) .05 20 30 .10 .10 40 .20 50 60 .35 .20 a. Is this probability distribution valid? - Select your answer- Explain. f(x) Σf(x) Select your answer Select your answer b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients (to 2 decimals)? c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients (to 2 decimals)? d. Compute the expected value and variance of x. Expected value Variance clients per year squared clients per year
