A toy manufacturer makes lightweight balls for indoor play. The large basketball uses 4 ounces of foam and 20 minutes of labor a

nd brings a profit of ​$2.50. The football uses 3 ounces of foam and 30 minutes of labor and brings a profit of ​$2. The manufacturer has available 43.5 pounds of foam and 110 ​labor-hours a week. Use the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule so as to maximize profits. Show that the geometric method gives the same solution.

Answer:

maximum profits = $508 when 24 basketballs are produced and 224 footballs are produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Basketball : uses 4 ounces of foam, 20 minutes labor and makes a profit of $2.50

Football : uses 3 ounces of foam, 30 minutes of labor and makes a profit of $2

Available materials:

43.5 pounds of foam , 110 labor-hours a week  

A ) using the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule  to maximize profits

number of basketballs produced = x

number of football produced = y

we have to determine constraints based on the available information

Z = 2.5 x + 2 y  ( Profit function )

4 x + 3 y ≤ 43.5 * 16( pounds of foam function )

20 x + 30 y ≤ 110 *16 ( labor-hours a week function )

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

Therefore this equation can be written as

Z ( maximization of profit ) = 2.5 x + 2 y is subject to

4 x + 3 y ≤ 696

20 x + 30 y ≤  1760

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

attached is the remaining detailed solution

Given P(A) = 0.56, P(B) = 0.45 and P(B|A) = 0.7, find the value of
miskamm [114]

Answer:

P(A and B) = P(AnB)

Step-by-step explanation:

P( \frac{A}{B} ) =  \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)}  \\from \: bayes \: theorem \\  P(AnB) = P(B) \times P( \frac{A}{B}) \\  = 0.45 \times 0.7 \\  = 0.315

A proper unbiased coin was tossed 10 times for 3 trials, giving TTHHTHTTHH, TTTTTHHHHH, and THTHHHTTH (T = Tails; H = Heads). Wh
nadya68 [22]
Theoretical probability is what, theoretically, the probability <em>should </em>be, regardless of data. Because there are only two options, the probability for getting heads on each toss should be 50%. For the total thirty tosses, theoretically, the coin <em>should</em> land on heads fifteen times, or five per trial, which is determined solely on the number of options.

Experimental probability is what the probability was based on the given data. In the first trial, head was scored 5 times, or 5/10, or 50%. This was repeated in the second and third trials. So, based purely <em>on the data,</em> the probability of the coin landing on heads was also 50%.

I hope this helps!
