The weekly revenue of a business selling gummy bear bags is a function of price. Weekly revenue is $10,816 when the price is $1.

60 but is $9,344 when the price is $3.20 Find a quadratic model that fits this information. Also know that the revenue is $0 if the price is $0. Let p = the price of a bag of gummy bears. Then: Revenue = R ( p ) =

Answer:

R(p) = -2400p² + 10600p

Step-by-step explanation:

p = The price of a bag of gummy bears

R(p) = Revenue

A quadratic model for the revenue R(p) can be written as:

R(p) = ap² + bp + c...............(1)

When R = $10,816  p = $1.60

10816 = a(1.60)² + b(1.60) + c

10816 = 2.56a + 1.6b + c...........(2)

When R = $9,344  p = $3.20

9344 = a(3.20)² + b(3.20) + c

9344 = 10.24a + 3.20b + c............(3)

When R = $0, p = $0

0 = a(0)² + b(0) + c

c = 0

Therefore, equations (1) and (2) become:

10816 = 2.56a + 1.6b..........(4)

9344 = 10.24a + 3.20b.......(5)

From the two simultaneous equations above:

a = -2400, b = 10600

Therefore the quadratic model in equation becomes:

R(p) = -2400p² + 10600p

A random sample of 6 homes in Gainesville, Florida between 1800 and 2200 square feet had a mean of 212990 and a standard deviati
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average price of a home in Gainesville of this size is between 183,772.5 square feet and 242,207.5 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation of the sample, so we use the students t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 0.95(t_{95}). So we have T = 2.015

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.015*14500 = 29217.5.

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 212990 - 29217.5 = 183,772.5 square feet

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 212990 + 29217.5 = 242,207.5 square feet

The 95% confidence interval for the average price of a home in Gainesville of this size is between 183,772.5 square feet and 242,207.5 square feet.

Let the random variable x have a discrete uniform distribution on the integers 8 ≤ x ≤ 10. determine the mean, μ, and variance,
arsen [322]
The discrete uniform distribution is on the interval 8 ≤ x ≤ 10.
Therefore the probability density function (shown in the figure) is
P(x) = 1/3 = 1/3 for x = 8, 9, 10
       = 0 otherwse

The mean is μ = 1/3.

The variance is 
σ² = Σp(x) (x- μ)²

Because x - μ = 0 for x = 8,9,10, therefore
σ² = 0

Answer:
μ = 1/3
σ² = 0
