Using the concept of probability and the arrangements formula, there is a
0.002 = 0.2% probability that the first 8 people in line are teachers.
----------------------------------
- A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>
- The order in which they are positioned is important, and all people will be positioned, and thus, the arrangements formula is used to find the number of outcomes.
The number of possible arrangements from a set of n elements is given by:

----------------------------------
The desired outcomes are:
- First 8 people are teachers, in <u>8! possible ways.</u>
- Last 4 are students, in <u>4! possible ways.</u>
Thus, 
----------------------------------
For the total outcomes, <u>number of arrangements of 12 people</u>, thus:

The probability is:

0.002 = 0.2% probability that the first 8 people in line are teachers.

Invert and multiply
2/x*(3/(4x))
Then proceed to simplify
(You must simplify twice might I add)
Answer:
(a) P(x) = 300 x - 3600
(b) P(340) = $ 98400
(c) At least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a):
The Profit function is the difference between the revenue function (R(x)) and the Cost (C(x)) function:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 384 x - [84 x + 3600]
P(x) = 384 x - 84 x - 3600
P(x) = 300 x - 3600
Part (b):
The profit on 340 items is:
P(340) = 300 (340) - 3600
P(340) = 102000 - 3600
P(340) = $ 98400
Part (c):
To avoid losing money, the profit P(x) has to be larger or equal than zero. That is:
P(x)
0
300 x -3600
0
300 x
3600

So at least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
