Hullian learning model. The Hullian learning model asserts that the probability p of mastering a task after t learning trials is approximated by
where k is a constant that depends on the task to be learned. Suppose a new dance is taught to an aerobics class. For this particular dance, assume
a. What is the probability of mastering the dance in 1 trial? 2 trial? 5 trials? 11 trials? 16 trials? 20 trials?
b. Find the rate of change,
c. Sketch a graph of the function.

- Oil ProductionThe following table shows the amount of crude oil in billions of barrels produced in the United States in recent years. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration. Year Crude Oil Produced 2002 2.097 2003 2.060 2004 1.989 2005 1.893 2006 1.857 2007 1.853 2008 1.830 2009 1.954 2010 2.000 2011 2.063 2012 2.377 In this exercise we are interested in the total amount of crude oil produced over the 10-year period from mid-2002 to mid-2012, using the data for the 11 years above. One approach is to sum up the numbers in the second column, but only count half of the first and last numbers. Give the answer to this calculation. Approximate the amount of crude oil produced over the 10-year period 2002-2012 by taking the average of the left endpoint sum and the right endpoint sum. Explain why this is equivalent to the calculation done in part a. This is also equivalent to a formula known as the trapezoidal rule, discussed in the next chapter. If your calculator has a cubic regression feature, find the best-fitting cubic function for these data, letting t=0 correspond to 2000. Then integrate this equation over the interval [2.12] to estimate the amount of crude oil produced over this time period. Compare with your answer to part a.arrow_forwardConditional probability If 40 of the population have completed college, and 85 of college graduates are registered to vote, what percent of the population are both college graduates and registered voters?arrow_forwardPrinter Failure The lifetime of a printer costing 200 is exponentially distributed with mean of 2 years. The manufacturer agrees to pay a full refund to a buyer if the printer fails during the first year following its purchase, and a one-half refund if it fails during the second year. If the manufacture sells 100 printers, how much should it expect to pay in refunds? Choose one of the following. Source: Society of Actuaries. a. 6321 b. 7358 c. 7869 d. 10256 e. 12642arrow_forward
