Answer:

Hence, (75,40) is the maximum point and maximum profit is $192.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breakfast be x

And  let the lunch or afternoon be y

Inequalities will become

\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}y\leq 45

\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}y\leq 70

And objective function will be

Z=1.5x+2.0y  

You can see the graph in the attachement

ABCD is the feasible region

Points of feasible region is (0,90) ,(0,0) ,(75,40) and(105,0)

We have to find Z by substituting the points of feasible region

At (0,90) we get

Z=1.5(0)+2(90)

Z=180

At (0,0)

Z=1.5(0)+2(0)

Z=0

At (75,40)

Z=1.5(75)+2(40)

Z=192.5

At (105,0)

Z=1.5(105)+2(0)

Z=157.5

The maximum number we are getting is 192.5 which is at (75,40)

Hence, (75,40) is the point of maximum

Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.184

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statistician consultant, I would have to calculate the chance of having 2 ambulances on the freeway at this hours and relay the message to the dispatcher.

Probability of having the need for 2 ambulances.

We will have a poisson distribution:

Lambda = 1

P(x=2) = e^-2*1/2!

= 2.71828^-1/2

= 0.368/2

= 0.184

I would tell the dispatch rider that the possibility that 2 ambulances would be required is 0.184.

Thank you
