Jen and Ariel are reading a 400 page novel for their literature class. Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages

each day thereafter. Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days. Which statement BEST compares Jen's reading rate each day to Ariel's daily reading rate?
A) Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel.
B) Ariel reads 10 pages per day less than Jen.
C) Ariel read 20 pages less the first day than Jen read.
D) The reading rate each day for Jen and Ariel is the same.

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages each day thereafter.

Number of pages read by Jen per day = 50

Number of pages read by Jen on first day = 100

Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days.

Number of pages read by Ariel per day = 40

Number of pages read by Ariel on first day = 40 + 80 = 120

Option A:

Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel

Wrong

Option B:

Ariel reads 10 pages per day less than Jen.

Correct

Option C:

Ariel read 20 pages less the first day than Jen read.

Wrong

Option D:

The reading rate each day for Jen and Ariel is the same.

Wrong

Option B is the correct answer.

Find the quantity q that maximizes profit if the total revenue, R(q), and total cost, C(q) are given in dollars by R(q)=3q−0.002
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The value of q that maximize the profit is q=200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The profit is equal to the revenue minus the cost

we have

R(q)=3q-0.002q^{2} ---> the revenue

C(q)=200+2.2q ---> the cost

The profit  P(q) is equal to

P(q)=R(q)-C(q)

substitute the given values

P(q)=(3q-0.002q^{2})-(200+2.2q)

P(q)=3q-0.002q^{2}-200-2.2q

P(q)=-0.002q^{2}+0.8q-200

This is a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the value of q that maximize the profit

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum profit

using a graphing tool

Graph the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (200,-120)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of q that maximize the profit is q=200 units

densk [106]

Answer:

The probability of getting a sample with 80% satisfied customers or less is 0.0125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the results of 1000 simulations, each simulating a sample of 80 customers, assuming there are 90 percent satisfied customers.

Let \hat p = <u><em>sample proportion of satisfied customers</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample proportion is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion of satisfied customers = 90%

            n = sample of customers = 80

Now, the probability of getting a sample with 80% satisfied customers or less is given by = P( \hat p \leq 80%)

  P( \hat p \leq 80%) = P( \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } \leq \frac{0.80-0.90}{\sqrt{\frac{0.80(1-0.80)}{80} } } ) = P(Z \leq -2.24) = 1 - P(Z < 2.24)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.9875 = <u>0.0125</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.24 in the z table which has an area of 0.9875.
