In a specific video game scenario, you are given 1,000 gold. You can either train marines to defend your base at 50 gold a piece

or research weapon upgrades at 200 gold per upgrade. The game allows a maximum of three upgrades, and you know that you need at least ten marines trained to survive the next level. Which of the following systems correctly describe the number of marines (m) and the number of upgrades (u) you can train/purchase in the game?

Answer:

The system is:

                50m+200u\leq 1,000

                 u\leq 3

                 u\geq 0

                 m\geq 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The variables of your equations are:

       m=\text{number of marines}

       u=\text{number of upgrades}

The constraints, which become inequalities are:

<em><u>1. The total cost cannot be greater than 1,000 gold</u></em>

  • Cost of training m number of marines at 50 gold a piece:

               50m

  • Cost of purchasing u number of research weapon upgrades at 200 gold per upgrade:

                200u

  • Total cost:

                50m+200u

  • The cost is limited to 1,000 gold that you are given:

                50m+200u\leq 1,000

          That is the first inequality of your system

<em><u>2. The game allows a maximum of three upgrades:</u></em>

  • This sets an upper bound for the variable:

                   u\leq 3

  • Add the reasonable constraint that the number of upgrades cannot no be negative:

                   u\geq 0

<em><u>3. You know that you need at least ten marines trained to survive </u></em>

  • This sets a lower bound for the variable:

                  m\geq 10

And those are all the four inequalities that form your <em>system to describe the number of marines and the number of upgrades you can train/purchae in the game:</em>

                50m+200u\leq 1,000

                 u\leq 3

                 u\geq 0

                 m\geq 10

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a) \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

b) For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56

Step-by-step explanation:

423.6, 487.3, 453.2, 402.9, 483.0, 477.7, 442.3, 418.4, 459.0

Part a

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}

On this case we need to find the sample standard deviation with the following formula:

s=sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^8 (x_i -\bar x)^2}{n-1}}&#10;And in order to find the sample mean we just need to use this formula:&#10;[tex]\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

The sample deviation for this case is s=30.23

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=9-1=8

The Confidence interval is 0.98 or 98%, the value of \alpha=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01, and the critical values are:

\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=20.09

\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=1.65

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

\frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{20.09} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(8)(30.23)^2}{1.65}

363.90 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 4430.80

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

19.08 \leq \sigma \leq 66.56

Part b

For this case we are 98% confidence that the true deviation for the population of interest is between 19.08 and 66.56
