A snack food manufacturer buys corn for tortilla chips from two cooperatives, one in Iowa and one in Illinois. The price per uni

t of the Iowa corn is $6.00 and the price per unit of the Illinois corn is $5.50.
a. Define variables that would tell how many units to purchase from each source.

b. Develop an objective function that would minimize the total cost.

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12,000 units of corn. The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units, and the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units. Develop constraints for these conditions.

Answer:

a. <u>x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa</u>

   <u>x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois</u>

<u></u>

b. <u>Min 6x1 + 5.5x2</u>

<u></u>

c. <u>x1 + x2 ≥ 12000</u>

   <u>x1 ≤ 8000</u>

   <u>x2 ≥ 6000</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We can consider the variables x1 and x2 as:

<u>x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa</u>

<u>x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois</u>

<u></u>

b. Price per unit of Iowa corn = $6

   Price per unit of Illinois corn = $5.5

Objective function that would minimize the total cost can be written as:

<u>Min 6x1 + 5.5x2</u>

<u></u>

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12000 units of corn which means that the combined number of units from Iowa and Illinois must be greater than or equal to  12000. So, we can write:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units which means that the value of x1 must not be greater than 8000. So, we can write:

x1 ≤ 8000

Similarly, the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units which means that the value of x2 must not be less than 6000. So, we can write:

x2 ≥ 6000.

The constraints for these conditions are:

<u>x1 + x2 ≥ 12000</u>

<u>x1 ≤ 8000</u>

<u>x2 ≥ 6000</u>

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

When Hiroto is writing, there is 0.92 probability that there will be no spelling mistakes on a page. One day, Hiroto writes an e
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability.

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

The probability of a mistake on at least one page is 1 minus the probability of making no mistakes.

P(at least 1) = 1 − P(none)

P = 1 − ₁₁C₀ (0.08)⁰ (0.92)¹¹⁻⁰

P = 1 − (0.92)¹¹

P = 0.60

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.
Nikolay [14]

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>1) You have to find out the different outcomes in the sample space :</u>

  • A "Sample space" is defined as the set of all the possible outcomes of an event.
  • Here, the given event is randomly selecting a letter from the alphabets.

Therefore, the sample space must contain all the possible alphabets that can  be chosen randomly.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

<u>2) The probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name :</u>

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.
