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

Let represent the number of tires with low air pressure on a randomly chosen car. The probability distribution of is as follows.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a) $P(X=3) = 0.1$

b) $P(X\geq 3) =1-P(X$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 3) = 1- [0.2+0.3+0.1]= 0.4$

c) $P(X=4) = 0.3$

d) $P(X=0) = 0.2$

e) $E(X) =0*0.2 +1*0.3+2*0.1 +3*0.1 +4*0.3= 2$

f) $E(X^2)= \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) =0^2*0.2 +1^2*0.3+2^2*0.1 +3^2*0.1 +4^2*0.3= 6.4$

And the variance would be:

$Var(X0 =E(X^2)- [E(X)]^2 = 6.4 -(2^2)= 2.4$

And the deviation:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2.4} = 1.549$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following distribution

x 0 1 2 3 4

P(x) 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.3

Part a

For this case:

$P(X=3) = 0.1$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X\geq 3) =1-P(X$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 3) = 1- [0.2+0.3+0.1]= 0.4$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=4) = 0.3$

Part d

$P(X=0) = 0.2$

Part e

We can find the mean with this formula:

$E(X)= \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X) =0*0.2 +1*0.3+2*0.1 +3*0.1 +4*0.3= 2$

Part f

We can find the second moment with this formula

$E(X^2)= \sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)$

And replacing we got:

$E(X^2) =0^2*0.2 +1^2*0.3+2^2*0.1 +3^2*0.1 +4^2*0.3= 6.4$

And the variance would be:

$Var(X0 =E(X^2)- [E(X)]^2 = 6.4 -(2^2)= 2.4$

And the deviation:

$\sigma =\sqrt{2.4} = 1.549$

An author receives a contract from a publisher, according to which she is to be paid a fixed sum of $20,000 plus $3.50 for each

Schach [20]

Answer:

The mean of the total payments she will receive is $79,500.

The standard deviation of the total payments she will receive is $14,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An author receives a contract from a publisher, according to which she is to be paid a fixed sum of $20,000 plus $3.50 for each copy of her book sold. The author judges that her uncertainty about total sales of the book can be represented by a random variable with a mean of 17,000 and a standard deviation of 4,000 books.

To find : The mean and standard deviation of the total payments she will receive ?

Solution :

Let 'x' represent total sales of the book.

Let 'y' represent the payment to the author.

According to question,

The mean of the total payments she will receive is given by,

$\mu_y=20,000+3.50\mu_x$

Where, $\mu_x=17,000$

Substitute in the equation,

$\mu_y=20000+3.50\times 17000$

$\mu_y=20000+59500$

$\mu_y=79500$

The mean of the total payments she will receive is $79,500.

The standard deviation of the total payments she will receive is given by,

$\sigma_y=|3.50|\sigma_x$

Where, $\sigma_x=4,000$

Substitute in the equation,

$\sigma_y=|3.50|\times 4000$

$\sigma_y=14000$

The standard deviation of the total payments she will receive is $14,000.

An office manager needs to decide between two tables for the conference room. One is rectangular, 5 feet wide by 10 feet long. T

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The rectangular 5 x 10 table.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which table the office manager needs to get so he can sit more people at it is decided by one factor, the perimeter. The rectangular one, which is 5 x 10 the perimeter is (5 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 10 + 20 = 30. The circular one can be calculated by the equation $\pi * d$ where d = 8. Putting $/pi$ x 8 in my calculator and it comes out approximately at 25.132, having a less amount of perimeter space to work with, making the rectangular table the way to go.
