Answer:

a) 266 tubes ,  TC_r = $53.2

b) 266 tubes ,  T.Loss = $13.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The sample size of tubes n = 1,000 tubes

- The mean of the sample u = 6.5 oz

- The standard deviation of the sample s.d = 0.8 oz

- Cost of manufacturing a tube C_t = 50 cents

- Cost of refilling a tube C_r = 20 cents

- Profit loss per tube Loss = 5 cents

Find:

a). How many tubes will be found to contain less than 6 ounces? In that case, what will be the total cost of the  refill?

b) How many tubes will be found to contain more than 7 ounces? In that case, what will be the amount of  profit lost?

Solution:

- First we will compute the probability of tube containing less than 6 oz.

- Declaring X : The amount of toothpaste.

Where,                         X ~ N ( 6.5 , 0.8 )

- We need to compute P ( X < 6 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X < 6 oz ) =  P ( Z < (6 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < -0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X < 6 oz ) = P ( Z < -0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies below 6 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X < 6 ounces = 1000* P ( X < 6 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            TC_r = C_f*(number of tubes with X < 6)

                            TC_r = 20*266 = 5320 cents = $53.2

- We need to compute P ( X > 7 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X > 7 oz ) =  P ( Z > (7 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < 0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X > 7 oz ) = P ( Z > 0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies above 7 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X > 7 ounces = 1000* P ( X > 7 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            T.Loss = Loss*(number of tubes with X > 7)

                            T.Loss = 5*266 = 1330 cents = $13.30

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The integrals was calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate integrals, and we get:

1) ∫ x^4 ln(x) dx=\frac{x^5 · ln(x)}{5} - \frac{x^5}{25}

2) ∫ arcsin(y) dy= y arcsin(y)+\sqrt{1-y²}

3) ∫ e^{-θ} cos(3θ) dθ = \frac{e^{-θ} ( 3sin(3θ)-cos(3θ) )}{10}

4) \int\limits^1_0 {x^3 · \sqrt{4+x^2} } \, dx = \frac{x²(x²+4)^{3/2}}{5} - \frac{8(x²+4)^{3/2}}{15} = \frac{64}{15} - \frac{5^{3/2}}{3}

5)  \int\limits^{π/8}_0 {cos^4 (2x) } \, dx =\frac{sin(8x} + 8sin(4x)+24x}{6}=

=\frac{3π+8}{64}

6)  ∫ sin^3 (x) dx = \frac{cos^3 (x)}{3} - cos x

7) ∫ sec^4 (x) tan^3 (x) dx = \frac{tan^6(x)}{6} + \frac{tan^4(x)}{4}

8)  ∫ tan^5 (x) sec(x)  dx = \frac{sec^5 (x)}{5} -\frac{2sec^3 (x)}{3}+ sec x

lana [24]

Answer:

A 5.5% = 5400 B 5% = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 7200

A * 0.055 + B * 0.05 = $387

A = 7200 - B

(7200 - B)*0.055 + B*0.05 = 387

396 - 0.055B + 0.05B = 387

396 - 0.005B = 387

0.005B = 9

B = 1800

A = 7200 - B = 7200 - 1800

A = 5400
