Marginal cost At a certain factory the marginal cost is 3(q-4)^2 dollars per unit when the level of production is q units.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a.) C(q) = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q + OH b.) $170

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Marginal cost is defined as the decrease or increase in total production cost if output is increased by one more unit. Mathematically:

Marginal cost (MC) = change in total cost/change in quantity

Therefore, to derive the equation for total production cost, we need to integrate the equation of marginal cost with respect to quantity. Thus:

Total cost (C) = Integral [3(q-4)^2] dq = -(1/4)*(q-4)^3 + k

where k is a constant.

The overhead (OH) = C(0) = -(1/4)*(0-4)^3 + k = -16 + k

C(q) = -(1/4)*(q^3 - 12q^2 + 48q - 64) + k = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q -16 + k

Thus:

C(q) = -(1/4)*q^3 + 3q^2 - 12q + OH

(b) C(14) = -(1/4)*14^3 + 3*14^2 - 12*14 + 436 = -686 + 588 - 168 + 436 = $170

HELP PLEASE HELP!!!!! 20 POINTS!!!

ivann1987 [24]

The answer should be C. By combining like terms you can find the answer. 1.75a+2.75a = 4.5a
2.25b + 1.75b = 4b
2.25c + 1.25c = 3.5c

According to a survey, 10% of Americans are afraid to fly. Suppose 1100 Americans are sampled. a) What is the probability that 1

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a) 14.46%

b) 0.00%

c) 1.54%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the survey, 10% of Americans are afraid to fly.

This means $p=0.10$ and $q=1-0.10=0.90$ .

If 1100 Americans are sampled, then the sample size is $n=1100$ .

The mean of the distribution is $\mu=np$ .

This means $\mu=1100\times 0.10=110$

The standard deviation is $\sigma=\sqrt{npq}$

We substitute the values to get:

$\sigma=\sqrt{1100\times 0.1\times 0.9}=9.95$

a) We want to find the probability that 121 or more Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We first apply the continuity correction factor to get: $P(X\ge121)=P(X\:>\:121-0.5)\\P(X\ge121)=P(X\:>\:120.5)$

We now convert to Z-scores to get:

$P(X\:>\:120.5)=P(z\:>\:\frac{120.5-110}{9.95})=1.06\\$

From the standard normal distribution table P(z>1.06)=0.1446

As a percentage, the probability is 14.46%

b) We want to find the probability that 165 or more Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We apply the CCF to get:

$P(X\ge165)=P(X\:>\:165-0.5)\\P(X\ge165)=P(X\:>\:164.5)$

We convert to z-scores:

$P(X\:>\:164.5)=P(z\:>\:\frac{164.5-110}{9.95})=5.48$

From the normal distribution, P(z>164.5)=0

c) First, 8% of 1100 is 88.

We want to find the probability that 88 or less Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We apply the CCF to get:

$P(X\le88)=P(X\:$

We convert to z-scores:

$P(X\:$

From the normal distribution, P(z>\:-2.16)=0.0154

As a percentage, we get 1.54%

Shelby mixes a 25% bleach solution with 5 cups of a 10% bleach solution, resulting in a 20% bleach solution. The table shows the

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of equations to solve this.

Cups of 25% bleach solution used = x

Cups of 1-% bleach solution used = 5

Cups of solution we get = y

The first equation becomes:

x + 5 = y

Using the decimal forms of each percentage solution

25% solution for x cups = 0.25x

10% solution for 5 cups = 0.1(5)

20% solution for y cups = 0.2 y

The second equation becomes:

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

So the system of equations is:

x + 5 = y

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

Solve both equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y:

x = 10 cups

y = 15 cups
