Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for $p$ such that $1000p(1-p)$ is maximized. Once we have that $p$ , we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes $1000p(1-p)$ is the same as finding the value that maximizes $p(1-p)$ , just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize $p(1-p)$ . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

$p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4$ .

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of $p$ such that the inner part of the square term is equal to $0$ .
