Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 1000 students.

Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 1000 students. Determine a differential equation governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between the number of students with the flu and the number of students who have not yet been exposed to it

Solutions

Expert Solution

if we set the number of student that have already gotten the flu with x(t) then the number of students in the campus that don't have the flu is given by the equation 1000-x(t),the number of interactions between the students who are infected and those who are not infected is given by the equation x(1000-x)

the problem states that the rate at which students get infected is analogue to the number of interactions between infected and non infected students so it is given by the equation \( \frac{dx}{dt}=kx(1000-x) \) where k is a constant

Suppose a study determines that the amount of time that college students on a given campus work out each week changes from university to university. You are intrigued by this and randomly interview 60 BU students. You find that the average weekly gym time is 3 hours, and the standard deviation is 1 hour. i.

The student academic group on a college campus claims that freshman students study at least 2.5 hours per day, on average. One Introduction to Statistics class was skeptical. The class took a random sample of 30 freshman students and found a mean study time of 137 minutes with a standard deviation of 45 minutes. At α = 0.01 level, is the student academic group’s claim correct? Calculate the p-value.

Part I: Sampling Your college wants to gather student opinions about parking for students on campus. It is not practical to contact all the students. For this assignment, complete the following items: Design a bad sample. In a short paragraph, design how you would create a sample of students to answer your survey on parking. This should be an example of a bad sample design. Design a good sample. Do the same as above, but discuss a sample design...

Suppose that you isolated an enveloped helical RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte cellfree translation system or in any other such system Further analysis indicates that this virus replication is inhibited if infected cells are incubated with protease inhibitor such as trypsin inhibitor. Based on this information, discuss the mechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infected susceptible, permissive cells.

Cars on Campus. Statistics students at a community college wonder whether the cars belonging to students are, on average, older than the cars belonging to faculty. They select a random sample of 11 cars in the student parking lot and find the average age to be 7.5 years with a standard deviation of 5.6 years. A random sample of 20 cars in the faculty parking lot have an average age of 4.2 years with a standard deviation of 4 years....
