A rumor is spread in a school. For b>0tpt(p)=apbx(1-x)dxt(p)lnapbx(1-x)dx=t=0p=0.02aa=t=1p=0.5bb=p=0.95t=0 and b>0, the time tat which a fraction pof the school population has heard the rumor is given by
t(p)=apbx(1-x)dx
(a) Evaluate the integral to find an explicit formula for t(p). Write your answer soit has only one ln term.
apbx(1-x)dx=
(b)At time t=0, two percent of the school population (p=0.02) has heard the rumor. What isa?
a=
(c)At time t=1, fifty percent of the school population (p=0.5) has heard the rumor. What isb?
b=
(d)At what time has ninety-five percent of the population (p=0.95) heard the rumor?
