5. The population of fish in a local bay is modeled by the equation P(t) = 2,500(1.025)', where t represents the number of years since 2,500 fish were first measured. Based on this equation, which of the following
represents the percent the population will grow in a decade?
(1) 2.5%
(3) 28%
(2) 25%
(4) 32%

Determine the mean and variance of the random variable with the following probability mass function. f(x)=( 729divided by 91) (1 divided by 9) superscript x baseline comma x equals 1,2,3 round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

How much dextrose 70% must be mixed with dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000 ml of dextrose 20%?

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
