Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]p_1,p_2 = 50,40[/tex]
[tex]q_1,q_2 = 400,500[/tex]
Solving (a): The coefficient of price elasticity of demand (k)
This is calculated as:
[tex]k = \frac{\triangle q}{\triangle p}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]k = \frac{500 - 400}{40 - 50}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{100}{-10}[/tex]
[tex]k = -10[/tex]
Because |k| > 0, then we can conclude that the company made a wise decision.

Suppose that the manufacturer of a gas clothes dryer has found that, when the unit price is p dollars, the revenue R (in dollars) is R(P) = - 8p^2 + 24,000p. What unit
price should be established for the dryer to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
The unit price that should be established to maximize revenue is $|
(Simplify your answer.)
Here we have a problem of maximization and quadratic equations.
The unit prize that maximizes the revenue is $1,500, and the maximum revenue is $18,000.
We know that the revenue equation is:
R(P) = - 8p^2 + 24,000p
Where the variable p is the price.
Now we want to find the value of p that maximizes the revenue.
To do it, we can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient.
This means that the arms of the graph will go downwards, then the maximum point of the graph will be at the vertex.
Remember that for an equation like:
y = a*x^2 + b*x+ c
The x-value of the vertex is at:
x = -b/(2*a)
Then for the equation:
R(P) = - 8p^2 + 24,000p
The vertex is at:
p = -(24,000)/(2*-8) = 1,500
The value of p that maximizes the revenue is p = $1,500
To get the maximum revenue, we need to evaluate the revenue equation in that p value.
R(1,500) = - 8*(1,500)^2 + 24,000*1,500 = 18,000
And the revenue equation is in dollars, then the maximum revenue is 18,000 dollars.

p = 1500 $ the unit price
R(p) = 18000000 $ maximum revenue
We will use two different procedures to calculate the maximum revenue.
That is equivalent to solve the problem and after that to test the solution
The first one is:
R(p) = - 8*p² + 24000*p
we realize that R(p) is a quadratic function ( a parabola) of the form:
y = a*x² + b*x + c ( c = 0 in this case)
We also know that as the coefficient of p² is negative the parabola opens downwards then the vertex is a maximum value for R(p), and the x coordinate of p is:
x = p = - b/2*a then by substitution
p = - ( 24000)/ 2 ( - 8)
p = 1500 $ and for that value of p
R(p) = - 8 ( 1500)² + 24000* (1500) = - 18000000 + 36000000
R(p) = 18000000 $
The second procedure is solving with the help of derivatives.
R(p) = - 8*p² + 24000*p
Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
R´(p) = -16p + 24000
If R´(p) = 0 then -16p + 24000 = 0
p = 24000/ 16 p = 1500
if we check for the second derivative
R´´(p) = -16 -16 < 0 therefore there is a maximum value for R(p) when p = 1500, and that value is:
By substitution in R(p)
R(p) = -8 *(1500)² + 24000* 1500
R(p) = - 18000000 + 36000000
R(p) = 18000000 $
Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local Fox affiliate claims its 10:00 PM newscast reaches 31% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 26% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local Fox station. What is the null hypothesis
Answer:
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: p = 0.31[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local Fox affiliate claims its 10:00 PM newscast reaches 31% of the viewing audience in the area.
From the claim, we get the expected proportion, that is, the value tested at the null hypothesis. Thus, at the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of 31%, that is:
[tex]H_0: p = 0.31[/tex]

Make a substitution to express the integrand as a rational function and then evaluate the integral. (Remember to use absolute values where appropriate. Use C for the constant of integration.)
2 sec^2(t)/tan^2(t) + 14 tan(t) + 48 dt
Complete the square in the denominator to get
tan²(t ) + 14 tan(t ) + 48 = tan²(t ) + 14 tan(t ) + 49 - 1
… = (tan(t ) + 7)² - 1
Substitute u = tan(t ) + 7 and du = sec²(t ) dt. Then the integral becomes
[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{2\sec^2(t)}{\tan^2(t)+14\tan(t)+48} \,\mathrm dt = 2 \int \frac{\mathrm du}{u^2-1}[/tex]
Separate the integrand into partial fractions:
[tex]\dfrac1{u^2-1} = \dfrac12 \left(\dfrac1{u-1}-\dfrac1{u+1}\right)[/tex]
Then we get
[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{2\sec^2(t)}{\tan^2(t)+14\tan(t)+48} \,\mathrm dt = \int \left(\frac1{u-1}-\frac1{u+1}\right)\,\mathrm du \\\\ =\ln|u-1|-\ln|u+1| + C \\\\ = \ln\left|\frac{u-1}{u+1}\right|+C \\\\ = \boxed{\ln\left|\frac{\tan(t)+6}{\tan(t)+8}\right|+C}[/tex]

Width=6inLength=6×5=30inA quality control expert at Glotech computers wants to test their new monitors. The production manager claims they have a mean life of 83 months with a variance of 81. If the claim is true, what is the probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 81.2 months in a sample of 146 monitors? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.9922 = 99.22% probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 81.2 months in a sample of 146 monitors.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The production manager claims they have a mean life of 83 months with a variance of 81.
This means that [tex]\mu = 83, \sigma = \sqrt{81} = 9[/tex]
Sample of 146:
This means that [tex]n = 146, s = \frac{9}{\sqrt{146}}[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 81.2 months in a sample of 146 monitors?
This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 81.2. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{81.2 - 83}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{146}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0078.
1 - 0.0078 = 0.9922.
0.9922 = 99.22% probability that the mean monitor life would be greater than 81.2 months in a sample of 146 monitors.

Write each decimal as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.
1 3/8
3/2
Step One: 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:
To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use addition and multiplication. For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1). 8x1= 8NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12 Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8. 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.Bianca is planting trees along her driveway, and she has 55 sycamores and 55 palm trees to plant in one row. What is the probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 55 sycamores are next to each other and all 55 palm trees are next to each other
Answer:
0.0079 = 0.79% probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 5 sycamores are next to each other and all 5 palm trees are next to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The trees are arranged, so, to find the number of outcomes, the arrangements formula is used.
Arrangements formula:
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by:
[tex]A_n = n![/tex]
Desired outcomes:
5 sycamores(5! possible ways) and then the 5 palm trees(5! possible ways)
5 palm trees(5! possible ways) then the 5 sycamores(5! possible ways).
[tex]D = 2*5!*5![/tex]
Total outcomes:
Arrangements of 10 plants, so:
[tex]T = 10![/tex]
What is the probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 5 sycamores are next to each other and all 5 palm trees are next to each other?
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{2*5!*5!}{10!} = 0.0079[/tex]
0.0079 = 0.79% probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 5 sycamores are next to each other and all 5 palm trees are next to each other.

Suppose that the probability that a person will develop hypertension over a life time is 60%. Of 13 graduating students from the same college are selected at random. find the mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time
Answer:
The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they will develop hypertension, or they will not. The probability of a person developing hypertension is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
Suppose that the probability that a person will develop hypertension over a life time is 60%.
This means that [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]
13 graduating students from the same college are selected at random.
This means that [tex]n = 13[/tex]
Find the mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time
[tex]E(X) = np = 13*0.6 = 7.8[/tex]
The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.

Each item has an equal probability of being chosen.
We have,
We will see which option is a sample that is not random.
A. Going through the list and choosing the first 25 names on the list.
Going through the list means every name has an equal chance of getting chosen.
This is a random sample.
B. Writing each student’s name on a card and then drawing out 25 names without looking.
Since we are drawing out 25 names without looking, all the students' names have an equal chance of getting drawn.
This is a random sample.
C. Choosing one student at random from the list and going through the list and choosing every fifth student until she has 25 names.
Choosing one student at random means every student has an equal chance of getting chosen.
This is a random sampling.
D. Separating the students on the list into boys and girls and choosing a sample from each group that is proportional to the size of the group.
The students are separated into boys and girls and the sample is chosen from each group so we are selecting the sample from the separated group.
This can not be a random sampling.
Thus,
The option that is not a random sample is:
Separating the students on the list into boys and girls and choosing a sample from each group that is proportional to the size of the group.
Option D is the correct answer.
