$\bf QP^{\frac{1}{2}}=38\implies \stackrel{\textit{product rule}}{\cfrac{dQ}{dP}P^{\frac{1}{2}}+Q\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}P^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=0\implies \cfrac{dQ}{dP}P^{\frac{1}{2}}=-\cfrac{Q}{2P^{\frac{1}{2}}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dQ}{dP}=-\cfrac{Q}{2P^{\frac{1}{2}}P^{\frac{1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{dQ}{dP}=-\cfrac{Q}{2P}\impliedby \textit{now, let's zero it out}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{horizontal tangent line}}{0=-\cfrac{Q}{2P}}\implies 0=-Q\implies 0=Q$

now, how to check it? well, graphing the equation, to check where it may have an extrema, namely a horizontal tangent line, check the picture below, low and behold, Q = 0 when that happens.

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that has slope 3 and passes through (2, -5)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = 3x + b Input Slope

Step 3:

- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b Input x and y values

Step 4:

- 5 = 6 + b Multiply

Step 5:

- 11 = b Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Hope This Helps :)

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with t

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\lambda$ is the mean in the given interval.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with $\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}$ , if $\lambda>10$ .

Poisson variable with the mean 3

This means that $\lambda= 3$ .

(a) At least 3 in a week.

This is $P(X \geq 3)$ . So

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

In which:

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

Then

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768$

0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

(b) At most 7 in a week.

This is:

$P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216$

Then

$P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988$
