A professor's son, having made the wise decision to drop out of college, has been finding his way in life taking one job or anot

her, leaving when his creativity is overly stifled or the employer tires of his creativity. The professor dutifully logs the duration of his son's last few careers and has determined that the average duration is normally distributed with a mean of sixty-six weeks and a standard deviation of ten weeks. The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

Answer:

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 66, \sigma = 10

The next career begins on Monday; what is the likelihood that it endures for less than a year and a half?

One year has 52.14 weeks. So a year and a half has 1.5*52.14 = 78.21 weeks.

So this probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 78.21.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{78.21 - 66}{10}

Z = 1.22

Z = 1.22 has a pvalue of 0.8888

88.88% probability that it endures for less than a year and a half

The cookie factory has a fixed cost of $300 per month plus $.45 for each cookie sold. Each cookie sells for $.95. How many cooki
anygoal [31]

Answer: the number of cookies sold must be greater than or equal to 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cookies made and sold in a month.

The cookie factory has a fixed cost of $300 per month plus $.45 for each cookie. This means that the total cost of producing x cookies in a month would be

300 + 0.45x

Each cookie sells for $.95. This means that the total revenue from selling x cookies would be

0.95x

Profit = Revenue - cost

Therefore, the number of cookies that must be sold during one month for the profit to be at least $100 would be

0.95x - (300 + 0.45x) ≥ 100

0.95x - 300 - 0.45x ≥ 100

0.95x - 0.45x ≥ 100 + 300

0.95x - 0.45x ≥ 100 + 300

0.5x ≥ 400

x ≥ 400/0.5

x ≥ 800
