Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser
A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser
follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the
two geysers are independent of one another. The mean
amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes,
and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B
is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts
within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it
will be Geyser A.

clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price
of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by
these consumers?

Over the past 40 years, the percentage of homes in the United States with smoke detectors has risen steadily, and has plateaued at about 96% as of 2015. With this increase in the use of home smoke detectors, we would expect that death rates due to home fires have decreased. The following table contains 17 years of data on the estimated percentage of homes with smoke detectors and the estimated home fire deaths per million people: Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Percentage of Homes with Smoke Detectors 0.48 0.65 0.72 0.74 0.75 0.8 0.79 0.83 0.84 0.86 0.88 0.9 0.95 0.96 0.97 0.96 0.96 Home Fire Deaths per Million People 23 20.9 17.4 20.6 19.5 19 17.7 16.3 13.7 14.5 14.4 13.1 11 11 10.3 8.5 8.2 a.

The reproductive power P of an individual can be modeled, following the ideas of ecologist James H. Brown (see his book Macroecology, University of Chicago Press, 1995), as the harmonic mean of two limiting rates. The harmonic mean of two numbers a and b is the reciprocals of the average of the inverses of the two numbers: ab a+b a The two rates are a per-unit-mass rate R1 at which individuals acquire resources, and a per-unit-mass rate R, at which individuals convert those resources into new individuals; that is, P = R¡R2 R1+R2 Assuming both Rị and R2 are the following allometric functions of body mass measure in kilograms R1 = 2M³/4 and R2 = 4M¯1/4, find the body mass M that maximizes the reproductive power P, M = kg.arrow_forward

Each worker independently stays on the job for an exponentially distributed time with a mean of one year and then quits. When a worker quits, it takes the company an exponentially distributed time with a mean of 1/10 of a year to hire a replacement for that worker (independently of how long it takes to replace other workers). If the company takes in $1000 per day in revenue when it has 3 workers, $800 per day when it has 2 workers, and $500 per day when it has 0 or 1 workers, what is the company's long-run average daily revenue?arrow_forward
