The function C(x) = 600x – 0.3x2 represents total costs for a company to produce a product, where C is the total cost in dollars

and x is the number of units sold. What number of units would produce a maximum cost? What is the maximum cost?

Answer:

1000 units produces a maximum cost of $300,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = -0.3x² + 600x

The equation is a downward parabola.  Its maximum is at the vertex, which can be found with:

x = -b / (2a)

Here, a = -0.3 and b = 600.

x = -(600) / (2 × -0.3)

x = 1000

The maximum cost is:

C(1000) = 300,000

1000 units produces a maximum cost of $300,000.

You can also use calculus to find the maximum.

C(x) = -0.3x² + 600x

C'(x) = -0.6x + 600

0 = -0.6x + 600

x = 1000

Answer:

a) P-value = 0.0968

b) P-value = 0.2207

c) P-value = 0.0239

d) P-value = 0.0040

e) P-value = 0.5636

Step-by-step explanation:

As the hypothesis are defined with a ">" sign, instead of an "≠", the test is right-tailed.

For this type of test, the P-value is defined as:

P-value=P(z>z^*)

being z* the value for each test statistic.

The probability P is calculated from the standard normal distribution.

Then, we can calculate for each case:

(a) 1.30

P-value=P(z>1.30) = 0.0968

(b) 0.77

P-value=P(z>0.77) = 0.2207

(c) 1.98

P-value=P(z>1.98) = 0.0239

(d) 2.65

P-value=P(z>2.65) = 0.0040

(e) −0.16

P-value=P(z>-0.16) = 0.5636

borishaifa [10]
Find each probability separately and then multiply the two together


Probability for even number is 3/6 or 1/2 because their are 3 even numbers out of 6 numbers

Probability to get a black chip is 1 black chip out of 3 totals so 1/3

Multiply 1/3 by 1/2

Answer 1/6

EastWind [94]
(0,346)(2,344.8)
slope = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0) = -1.2 / 2 = -0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.6
use either of ur points (0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub and find b, the y int
346 = -0.6(0) + b
346 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.6x + 346

after 4 weeks....x = 4
y = -0.6(4) + 346
y = -2.4 + 346
y = 343.6 <=== after 4 weeks it will be 343.6
