Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges for each box of seeds. The equation p= -0.5x2 + 36x - 231 models the profit of the fundraiser. What's the smallest amount, in dollars, that you can charge and make a profit of at least $363?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The least amount is $75.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p \to profit[/tex]

[tex]x \to amount[/tex]

[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]

Required

The smallest amount to make at least 363

We have:

[tex]p = -0.5x^2 + 36x - 231[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231=p[/tex]

Substitute 363 for p

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 = 363[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x - 231 + 363 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-0.5x^2 + 36x + 132 = 0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula, we have:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]a = -0.5; b= 36; c = 132[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{36^2 - 4*-0.5*132}}{2*-0.5}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± \sqrt{1560}}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-36 \± 39.50}{-1}[/tex]

Split

[tex]x = \frac{-36 + 39.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-36 - 39.50}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3.50}{-1}; x = \frac{-75.50}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x = 75.50[/tex] and [tex]x = -3.50[/tex]

The amount can't be negative.

So:

[tex]x = 75.50[/tex]

Hence, the least amount is $75.50

A manufacturing facility is responsible for producing two components that are produced at states 1 (poor), 2 (below average), 3 (average), 4 (good), and 5 (excellent). For the final product (con- sisting of both components) to be acceptable the sum of the two states needs to be at least equal to 6. At the moment, the manufacturing processes are random, and hence each component is equally likely to be at any of the 5 states. Answer the following questions.

Required:
a. What is the probability that a final product is acceptable? What is the probability that a final product is unacceptable?
b. What is the probability that a final product is acceptable given that the first component is produced at a state of 2?
c. What is the probability that the second component was produced at a state of 3 given that the final product is acceptable?

Answers

Answer:

a) i) P( final product is acceptable ) = 3/5

   ii) P ( final product not acceptable ) =  2/5

B)  P (  final product is acceptable | X =2 ) = 2/5

C)  P ( Y = 3 | Final product is acceptable ) = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

5 states : 1 (poor), 2 (below average), 3 (average), 4 (good), and 5 (excellent)

Number of components produced = 2

X ( component 1 ) ∴ P(X) = 1/5

Y ( component 2 ) ∴ P(Y) = 1/5

Aim : Sum of Final product needs to be ≥ 6

A) Probability of a final product been acceptable and also unacceptable

P( final product is acceptable ) ; P(X + Y ≥ 6 )

= 1/5 ∑ P( Y ≥ 6 - x )

= 1/5 ( P( Y ≥ 5 ) + P( Y ≥ 4 ) + P( Y ≥ 3 ) + P( Y ≥ 2 ) + P( Y ≥ 1 )

= 1/5 ( 1/5 + 2/5 + 3/5 +4/5 + 1 )

= 3/5

P ( final product not acceptable ) = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

B) P (  final product is acceptable | X =2 )

 ∴ P ( Y ≥ 4 )

   = 2/5

C) P ( Y = 3 | Final product is acceptable )

∴ P ( X ≥ 3 ) ≠ P( Y ≥ 3 )  ( because they are not independent )

  = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5.

A market research team thinks that their new ad campaign is better than their old one. They used to be able to sell to 50% of those who saw their ads. To test their thought, they will run a hypothesis test. They take a random sample of 100 potential buyers and find that they convinced 60 of these people to buy their product. The test will be run at a 1% significance level.
a. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not signficantly better.
b. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is signficantly better.
c. The test stat is 2.236 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not significantly better.
d. The test stat is 2.236 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is significantly better.
e. The test stat is 2.5 and we are left with a test that is inconclusive.

Answers

Answer:

a. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not signficantly better.

Step-by-step explanation:

They used to be able to sell to 50% of those who saw their ads. Test if the new campaign is better.

At the null hypothesis, we test is it is the same, that is, the proportion is the same.

[tex]H_0: p = 0.5[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if it is significantly better, that is, the proportion is above 50%.

[tex]H_1: p > 0.5[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5[/tex]

They take a random sample of 100 potential buyers and find that they convinced 60 of these people to buy their product.

This means that [tex]n = 100, X = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6[/tex]

Test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.6 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2[/tex]

The test statistic is 2.

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.6, which is 1 subtracted the by p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228 > 0.01, which means that we cannot conclude that the new ad campaign is signficantly better, so the correct answer is given by option A.

How to find that a given condition can be modeled by binomial distribution?

Binomial distributions consist of n independent Bernoulli trials.

Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))

The probability that out of n trials, there be x successes is given by

Use binomial distribution, with p =0.20, n=5, x=3

[tex]P(X=x)=C(n,x)p^x (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

P(X> = 3)

[tex]=1-(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X= 5 ))\\=1-(C(20,0)0.2^0 (0.8)^{20-0}+C(20,1)0.2^1 (0.8)^{20-1}+C(20,2)0.2^2 (0.8)^{20-2})[/tex]

=1-(0.0115292+0.057646+0.136909)

=1-0.206085

=0.793915

Hence, the probability that at least three plants produce two or more seeds is 0.793915.

y · 100 = 17 · 79

100y = 1343

100y ÷ 100 = 1343 ÷ 100

Given a box of 8 color crayons (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Black, Purple). If I remove a single crayon randomly, and without putting it back in the box, I remove a second crayon randomly, what is the probability that I will remove the Red and the Green crayon from the box

Answers

Answer: 1/56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has 8 different colors, the probability of picking any color of crayon will be 1/8.

This question relates to a probability without replacement, therefore, the probability of picking the red crayon first will be 1/8. After then, there'll be 7 crayons left and the probability of picking the green crayon next will be 1/7.

Therefore, the probability that I will remove the Red and the Green crayon from the box will be:

= 1/8 × 1/7

= 1/56

A certain town has 25,000 families. The average number of children per family is 2.6, with an SD of 0.80. The distribution is not normal, however, since 20% of the families have no children at all. (a) If one draws a simple random sample of five families from the 25,000, what is the chance that exactly two of the five sample families will have no children

Answers

Answer:

0.2048 = 20.48% probability that exactly two of the five sample families will have no children.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have no children, or they do have children. The probability of a family not having children is independent of any other family. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of the families have no children at all.

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

Five families:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

What is the chance that exactly two of the five sample families will have no children?

This is P(X = 2).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.2048[/tex]

0.2048 = 20.48% probability that exactly two of the five sample families will have no children.
