- Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by P(t)=c1+aebt , such that the initial population at time t=0 is P(0)=P0. Show algebraically that cP(t)P(t)=cP0P0ebt .arrow_forward2. Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food?

- Answer part a of the question below. Show all work. When diagnosing a disease (genetically) in a sample of patients.we let X ∈ {0, 1} be a random variable that is binary where X = 1 reflects disease presense, and X = 0 reflects absense of the disease. We are conducting a blood test that returns some continuous marker. A continuous variable expressing this marker is −∞ < Y < ∞. We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. Suppose p = .5. Find an expression for P(X = 1 | y) only in terms of fY|X(y | X = 1) and fY|X(y | X = 0), where fY |X represents the conditional normal density given above evaluated at some X = x.arrow_forwardAnswer part a of the question below.

We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. For an event with probability p, the odds of the event is defined as p/1−p. With a higher odds, an event is more likely. With the odds of 1 indicates the event is as likely to occur as not likely. i.e. we are maximally uncertain about the status of the diseae. Find the conditional odds of disease given Y ,P(X=1|y)/(1−P (X=1|y)). What is the odds of disease if µ1 = µ0?What is the interpretation behind this result?arrow_forwardIn the simple linear regression model, if there is a very strong correlation between the independent and dependent variables, then the correlation coefficient should be a) close to either -1 or +1 b) close to zero c) close to -1 d) close to +1 ( don't hand writing solution)arrow_forward
- Devore [2010] Consider a system consisting of three components as pictured. The system will continue to function as long as the first component functions and either component 2 or component 3 functions. Let X1, X2, and X3 denote the lifetimes of components 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Suppose the Xi ’s are independent of one another and each Xi has an exponential distribution with parameter λ. (a) Let Y denote the system lifetime. Obtain the cumulative distribution function of Y and differentiate to obtain the pdf. [Hint: F(y) = P(Y ≤ y); express the event {Y ≤ y} in terms of unions and/or intersections of the three events {X1 ≤ y}, {X2 ≤ y}, and {X3 ≤ y}.] (b) Compute the expected system lifetime.arrow_forwardAnswer parts a and b of the question below.
