. An individual wishes to invest $5000 over the next year in two types of investment: Investment A yields 5%, and investment B y

ields 8%. Market research recommends an allocation of at least 25% in A and at most 50% in B. Moreover, investment in A should be at least half the investment in B. How should the fund be allocated to the two investments?

Answer:

The amount invested at Investment A must be greater than or equal to $2,750

The amount invested at Investment B must be less than or equal to $2,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount invested at Investment A yields 5%

y -----> the amount invested at Investment B yields 8%

we know that

x+y=5,000

x=5,000-y  -----> equation A

x \geq 0.25(5,000)

x \geq \$1,250 -----> inequality B

y \leq 0.50(5,000)

y \leq \$2,250 -----> inequality C

x \geq \frac{1}{2}y -----> inequality D

Substitute equation A in the inequality D and solve for y

5,000-y \geq \frac{1}{2}y

Multiply by 2 both sides

10,000-2y \geq y

Multiply by -1 both sides

-10,000+2y \leq -y

Adds y both sides

-10,000+2y+y \leq 0

-10,000+3y \leq 0

adds 10,000 both sides

3y \leq 10,000

Divide by 3 both sides

y \leq \$3,333.33 -----> inequality E

therefore

<em>Solve for y</em>

we have

y \leq \$2,250 -----> inequality C

y \leq \$3,333.33 -----> inequality E

The solution of inequality C and inequality E is

y \leq \$2,250

For y=2,250

x=5,000-y ----> x=5,000-2,250=2,750

so

x \geq \$2,750 -----> inequality F

<em>Solve for x</em>

we have

x \geq \$1,250 -----> inequality B

x \geq \$2,750 -----> inequality F

The solution of inequality B and inequality F is

x \geq \$2,750

therefore

The amount invested at Investment A must be greater than or equal to $2,750

The amount invested at Investment B must be less than or equal to $2,250

. Only 2% of a large population of 100-ohm gold-band resistors have resistances that exceed 105 ohms. a. For samples of size 100
Soloha48 [4]

Using the information given above, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of 100-ohm gold-band is 2.

  • <em>Sampling distribution of proportion, P = 2% = 0.02 </em>

  • <em>Sample size, n = 100</em>

<u>The sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be calculated thus</u>:

  • <em>Distribution of sample proportion = np</em>

Distribution of sample proportion = (100 × 0.02) = 2

Therefore, there is a probability that only 2 of the samples will have resistances exceeding 105 ohms.
