Program Description: Purpose of problem is to calculate the number of months takes for
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The logistic equation is
Here,
Initial population is 120 with rate of 8 births per month and 6 deaths per month.
Take initial time as 0.
Explanation:
The solution of the logistic differential equation is shown below.
Here,
Obtain the maximum capacity of the system
Obtain the value of
Now, substitute the known values
To obtain the time at which population reaches to 95% of maximum population, substitute
Further, solve the equation as follows:
Conclusion:
Therefore, the number of months takes for

- What is the likelihood ratio p(x|C₁) p(x|C₂) in the case of Gaussian densities?arrow_forwardSolve in R programming language: Suppose that the number of years that a used car will run before a major breakdown is exponentially distributed with an average of 0.25 major breakdowns per year. (a) If you buy a used car today, what is the probability that it will not have experienced a major breakdown after 4 years. (b) How long must a used car run before a major breakdown if it is in the top 25% of used cars with respect to breakdown time.arrow_forwardA detachment of n soldiers must cross a wide and deep river with no bridge in sight. They notice two 12-year-old boys playing in a rowboat by the shore. The boat is so tiny, however, that it can only hold two boys or one soldier. How can the soldiers get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat? How many times need the boat pass from shore to shore?arrow_forward

Suppose that 20% of the incoming calls involve fax messages, and consider a sample of 20 incoming calls. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that at most 6 of the calls involve a fax message?(b) What is the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message?(c) What is the probability that at least 6 of the calls involve a fax message?(d) What is the probability that more than 6 of the calls involve a fax message?arrow_forwardIn a place called BW is well known for its weather. The weather condition is not extreme at all and many people want to migrate there only for the characteristic of the place. it rains on one fourth of the days. The local evening newspaper attempts to predict whether or not it will rain the following day. Three quarters of rainy days and four fifths of dry days are correctly predicted by the previous evenings paper. Given that this evenings paper predicts rain, what is the probability that it will actually rain tomorrow?arrow_forward

- 13 In our discussion of Winter's method, a monthly seasonality of (say) 0.80 for January means that during January, air conditioner sales are expected to be 80% of the sales during an average month. An alternative approach to modeling seasonality is to let the seasonality factor for each month represent how far above average air conditioner sales will be during the current month. For instance, if sJan - 50, then air conditioner sales during January are expected to be 50 less than air conditioner sales during an average month. If sjuly = 90, then air conditioner sales during July are expected to be 90 more than air conditioner sales during an average month. Let s, = the seasonality for month t after month t demand is observed L, = the estimate of base after month t demand is observed T, = the estimate of trend after month i demand is observed Then the Winter's method equations given in the text are modified to be as follows (* indicates multiplication): L, = a * (I) + (1 – a) * (L--1 +…arrow_forwardUsing MATLAB, develop a computer program for the finite difference solution with general θ scheme for the 1D consolidation of a uniform layer of soil. Compare the results for θ=0, 0.5, 2/3 and 1.0 for α=0.49 and α=0.51 against the analytical solution of Terzaghi’s equation for T=0.5. Apply the program to both cases of double draining layer and single draining layer.arrow_forwardProgram the Gaussian elimination method with no partial pivoting for solving a linear system of the form Ax=b, where b is a single column vector. Your function should take in a coefficient matrix A, and a single input vector b. Your function should return the solution vector x. Your code should also return the appropriate error message.
