For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=50x+200 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−120)2+7,200. The maximum capacity of the company is 140 items.

Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function?
P(x)=

Hint: Does calculating P(x) make sense when x=−10 or x=1,000?

The company can choose to produce either 70 or 80 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose?
Profit when producing 70 items =
Number


Profit when producing 80 items =
Number


Can you explain, from our model, why the company makes less profit when producing 10 more units?

Answers

Answer 1

The profit equation is:

p(x) = -0.5*x^2 + 70x - 200

The domain is:

x ∈ [0, 140], such that x ∈ Z

and the profit is larger for 70 items.

We know that:

Cost equation:

c(x) = 50*x + 200

revenue equation:

r(x) = -0.5*(x - 120)^2 + 7,200

The maximum capacity is 140

Then x can be any value in the range [0, 140]

We want to find the profit equation, remember that:

profit = revenue - cost

Then the profit equation is:

p(x) = r(x) - c(x)

p(x) = ( -0.5*(x - 120)^2 + 7,200) - ( 50*x + 200)

Now we can simplify this:

p(x) =  -0.5*(x - 120)^2 + 7,200 - 50x - 200

p(x) =  -0.5*(x - 120)^2 + 7,000 - 50x

p(x) = -0.5*(x^2 - 2*120*x + 120^2) + 7,000 - 50x

p(x) = -0.5*x^2 + 120x - 7,200 + 7,000 - 50x

p(x) = -0.5*x^2 + 70x - 200

Now we want to answer, what is the domain of p(x)?

The domain is the set of the possible inputs of the function.

Remember that x is in the range [0, 140], such that x should be a whole number, so we also need to add x ∈ Z

then:

x ∈ Z ∧ x ∈ [0, 140]

Then that is the domain of the profit function.

Now we want to see the profit for 70 and 80 items, to do it, just evaluate p(x) in these values:

70 items:

p(70) = -0.5*70^2 + 70*70 - 200 = 2,250

p(80) = -0.5*80^2 + 70*80 - 200 = 2,200

So the profit is smaller for the larger number of items, why does this happen?

You can see that the profit equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient, so, as the value of x increases after a given point (the vertex of the quadratic) the profit will start to decrease.

A rectangle measures 2 1/2 meters by 1 3/4 meters. What is its area?

Answers

Answer:

4 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can use the formula

Area = L (length) x W (width)

2. The area is unknown so we can substitute it for a

  The length and width are both known, so we can plug them in.

a= 2 1/2 x 1 3/4

3. Solve by multiplying

a=4 3/8

Area of the rectangle is [tex]4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square

What is Area?

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface

What is rectangle?

Rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

Length of the rectangle = [tex]2\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Width of the rectangle = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Area of the rectangle = [tex](\frac{5}{2}).(\frac{7}{4})=\frac{35}{8}=4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square

Hence, the area of the rectangle is [tex]4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square

An environmentalist wants to find out the fraction of oil tankers that have spills each month. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 211 tankers is drawn. Of these ships, 146 did not have spills. Using the data, estimate the proportion of oil tankers that had spills. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 65/211 = 0.308.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of oil tankers that had spills.

Number of tankers with spills divided by the total number of tankers.

In this question:

211 tankers

146 did not have spills, so 211 - 146 = 65 had

Proportion:

[tex]p = \frac{65}{211} = 0.308[/tex]

Consider the probability that no less than 95 out of 152 registered voters will vote in the presidential election. Assume the probability that a given registered voter will vote in the presidential election is 61%. Approximate the probability using the normal distribution. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.3821 = 38.21% probability that no less than 95 out of 152 registered voters will vote in the presidential election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Assume the probability that a given registered voter will vote in the presidential election is 61%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.61[/tex]

152 registed voters:

This means that [tex]n = 152[/tex]

Mean and Standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = 152*0.61 = 92.72[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{152*0.61*0.39} = 6.01[/tex]

Probability that no less than 95 out of 152 registered voters will vote in the presidential election.

This is, using continuity correction, [tex]P(X \geq 95 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 94.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 94.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{94.5 - 92.72}{6.01}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6179

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

0.3821 = 38.21% probability that no less than 95 out of 152 registered voters will vote in the presidential election.

A machine used to fill beverage cans is supposed to put exactly 12 ounces of beverage in each can, but the actual amount varies. The standard deviation of fill volumes is 0.05 ounce. How large a sample of cans must be selected to estimate the population mean fill volume with a 95% confidence interval that has a margin of error of 0.008 ounce? Round your answer UP to the nearest integer.

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 151 cans must be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation of fill volumes is 0.05 ounce.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.05[/tex]

How large a sample of cans must be selected to estimate the population mean fill volume with a 95% confidence interval that has a margin of error of 0.008 ounce?

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.008. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.008 = 1.96\frac{0.05}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.008\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.05[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.05}{0.008}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.05}{0.008})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 150.1[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 151 cans must be selected.
