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. Is the sample mean normally distributed? Why or why
not?
ii. Your friend thinks the average gym time for Boston
University students is equal to...

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.

It's flu season on campus. A study reported that 10% of students
suffered some flu-like symptoms during the first week of finals,
versus 7% of faculty & staff suffering flu-like symptoms.
Suppose 200 students and 200 faculty & staff responded to the
study. Let "students" and "faculty & staff" represent
population 1 and population 2, respectively. Use Table 1.

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.

1. Suppose that you isolated an
enveloped icosahedral RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is
capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte
cell‑free translation system or in any other such system. Further
analysis indicates that this virus replication is not
inhibited by actinomycin D, a strong inhibitor of
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Based on this information, discuss the
mechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infected
susceptible, permissive cells.
Please give more information
that ties in replication...

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

A student surveys some students on campus in the evening and
finds that 16 out of 20 of the students she interviewed are part
time students. She uses the data to estimate the percentage of all
students who are part time. What type of bias is present in her
sample?
