Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with this question and I'm not sure how to do it/where to start. Does anyone have a solution to it? It will help me with my future problems on this topic!
Answers
This is quite an interesting problem. I am not sure how high you are in math, but I am going to use calculus I techniques to solve it. First, we need to model an equation. Let P be the total profit and x be every time you increase the cost by $10. If you think about it hard enough you come up with the equation
[tex]P(x)=(200-5x)(250+10x)[/tex]
(200-5x) is the amount of plots you will be able to sell, and (250+10x) is the amount you charge for. So, at x =0
[tex]P(0)=(200-5(0))(250+10(0))=(200)(250)=$50,000[/tex]
This is the initial condition where if we sell 200 plots at $250/plot.
So, this equation makes sense.
Now, let's maximize using the first derivative of the function.
Let's get it into an easily differentiable form.
[tex]P(x)=(200-5x)(250+10x)=-50x^2+2000x-1250x+50000\\=-50x^2+750x+50000[/tex]
From here, differentiate the problem.
[tex]P'(x)=-100x+750[/tex]
Now, set it equal to zero and solve for x.
[tex]P'(x)=-100x+750=0\\x=7.5[/tex]
This a critical point of the function. Let's plug back into the original equation to see what it gives us.
[tex]P(7.5)=(200-5(7.5))(250+10(7.5))=(162.5)(325)=52,812.50[/tex]
You cant sell half a plot, so we need to see what happens if we sell 162 plots and 163 plots, and then compare which one gives us more money.
In order to sell 162 plots
[tex]200-5x=162\\x=7.6[/tex]Plug back into P(x) to see the profit
[tex]P(7.6)=(200-5(7.6))(250+10(7.6))=(162)(326)=52,812[/tex]
Now, do the same for 163 plots
[tex]200-5x=163\\x=7.4\\P(7.4)=(200-5(7.4))(250+10(7.4))=(163)(324)=52,812[/tex]
As we can see, they are the same. So, you can charge either $324 or $326 in rent. But, if your teacher is not looking for a logical answer and you can somehow sell half a plot, you can charge $325 in rent for the maximum profit.

A class of 22 students has taken an exam, and the mean of their scores is 76.5. One student takes the
exam late, and scores 92. After including the new score, what is the mean score for all 23 exams? Round
to the nearest hundredth.
Answers
The mean score for all 23 students is 77.17.
Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number.
The first step is to determine the total scores of the 22 students.
Total scores = mean score x number of students
22 x 76.5 = 1683
The second step is to add the score of the student that took the exam late tot he total scores.
New total score = 1683 + 92 = 1775
The third step is to determine the new mean score.
new mean score = new total score / total number of students
1775 / 23 = 77.17

Hello!
Judging by the link you provided I have come up with the correct solution:
x= 61°
y= 29°
Step-by-step explanation:
I will link my work below:
The first step to finding the two solutions it to first identify one of them.
I chose to identify x first.
To identify the value of x in this problem you have to notice that the x value corresponds with the value "29°" to form a perfect right angle, being 90°.
Thus you can simply find the value of x by doing this formula:
x+29°=90°
You then subtract 29° from both sides to simplify, and you come up with the solution
x=61°
Now we need to find the value of y.
To find the value of y I noticed that again, like x, y corresponds with another variable (being x) to form a perfect right angle (90°).
The way I realized this is a perfect right angle is because, as you can see in the picture you provided, the y+x angle are alternate exterior angles with another angle that is 90°.
Thus you can assume that:
x+y=90°
x= 61°
61°+y=90°
You then subtract 61° from both sides to get:
y=29°

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event.
Let P represents the event that a student passes the course, and C represents the event that a student completes the assignment
(a) The probability a student passed the course given that they completed their homework?
From the table, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{n(P\ n\ C) = 25}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{n(C) = 30}[/tex]
So, the required probability is:
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{n(P\ n\ C)}{n(C)}}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{25}{30}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 0.8333}[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 83.33\%}[/tex]
Hence, the probability a student passed the course given that they completed their homework is 83.33%
(b) The probability a student passed the course given that they didn't complete their homework
From the table, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{n(P\ n\ C'= 7}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{n(C') = 25}[/tex]
So, the required probability is:
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{n(P\ n\ C')}{n(C')}}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{7}{25}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 0.28}[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 28\%}[/tex]
Hence, the probability a student passed the course given that they didn't complete their homework is 28%
(c) The probability a student completed their homework given that passed the course?
From the table, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{n(P\ n\ C) = 25}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{n(P) = 32}[/tex]
So, the required probability is:
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{n(P\ n\ C)}{n(P)}}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{25}{32}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 0.78125}[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 78.125\%}[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 78.13\%}[/tex]
Hence, the probability a student completed their homework given that they passed the course is 78.13%
(d) The probability a student didn't complete their homework given that they didn't pass the course
From the table, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{n(P'\ n\ C'= 18}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{n(P) = 23}[/tex]
So, the required probability is:
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{n(P'\ n\ C')}{n(P')}}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = \frac{18}{23}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 0.7826}[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]\mathbf{Pr = 78.26\%}[/tex]
Hence, the probability a student didn't complete their homework given that they didn't pass the course is 78.26%
