Naugust 2012, tropical storm isaac formed in the caribbean and was headed for the gulf of mexico. there was an initial probability of .69 that isaac would become a hurricane by the time it reached the gulf of mexico (national hurricane center website, august 21, 2012).a. what was the probability that isaac would not become a hurricane but remain a tropical storm when it reached the gulf of mexico (to 2 decimals)? b. two days later, the national hurricane center projected the path of isaac would pass directly over cuba before reaching the gulf of mexico. hurricanes that reach the gulf of mexico have a .08 probability of having passed over cuba. tropical storms that reach the gulf of mexico have a .20 probability of having passed over cuba. how did passing over cuba alter the probability that isaac would become a hurricane by the time it reached the gulf of mexico? use the above probabilities to answer this question. c. what happens to the probability of a storm becoming a hurricane when a tropical storm passes over a landmass such as cuba? increased or decreased from (to 2 decimals) to (to 4 decimals).

a reflection across the x axis and a 90 degree rotation left and right.

the answer is c. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
