2. a biologist studies a population of fish in a lake, and observes that the number n(t) (measured in thousands of fish in the lake at time t years is governed by the differential equation dn/dt = n - 1/2n^2 currently there are 800 fish in the lake (that is, n(0) = 0.8). (a) give a brief physical interpretation of each term on the right hand side of the differential equation. (b) suppose now that fish are harvested from the lake at a constant rate of h thousand fish per year. construct a differential equation incorporating this new information into the above model, and determine the value of h that keeps the fish population constant at 800 fish. (c) it is decided that fish will be harvested from the lake at a constant rate of 500 fish per year. solve your differential equation from the previous part with h = 0.5. (d) is the harvesting rate of 500 fish per year sustainable? justify your answer. (e) after 6 years of harvesting fish at a rate of 500 fish per year, there is a complete ban placed on fishing in the lake. how long will it take for the population to return to 800 fish?

Suppose that an airline uses a seat width of 16.516.5 in. assume men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.414.4 in. and a standard deviation of 0.90.9 in. complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) find the probability that if an individual man is randomly selected, his hip breadth will be greater than 16.516.5 in. the probability is nothing. (round to four decimal places as needed.)
