13 POINTS! According to the Current Population Survey, the following table summarizes probabilities for randomly selecting a ful

l-time student in various age groups:
Age 15–17 18–24 25–34 35 or older older
Probability 0.007 0.573 0.260 0.160

If we randomly select a full-time student, what is the probability that he/she is 25 or older?
A. 0.260
B. 0.420
C. 0.740

15-17
0.007

18-24
0.573

25-34
0.260

35+
0.160

0.260 + 0.160 = 0.0416 (rounding up) = 0.0420 or B.

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.

Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.
