The Pitts Barbecue Company makes three kinds of barbecue sauce: Extra Hot, Hot, and Mild. Pitts’ vice president of marketing estimates that the company can sell 8,000 cases of its Extra Hot sauce plus 10 extra cases for every dollar it spends promoting this sauce; 10,000 cases of Hot sauce plus 8 extra cases for every dollar spent promoting this sauce; and 12,000 cases of its Mild sauce plus 5 extra cases for every dollar spent promoting this sauce. Although each barbecue sauce sells for $10 per case, the cost of producing the different types of sauce varies. It costs the company $6 to produce a case of Extra Hot sauce, $5.50 to produce a case of Hot sauce, and $5.25 to produce a case of Mild sauce. The president of the company wants to make sure the company manufactures at least the minimum amounts of each sauce that the marketing vice president thinks the company can sell. A budget of $25,000 total has been approved for promoting these items of which at least $5,000 must be spent advertising each item. How many cases of each type of sauce should be made, and how do you suggest that the company allocate the promotional budget to maximize profits?

a. Formulate an LP model for this problem.
b. Create a spreadsheet model for this problem, and solve it using Solver.
c. What is the optimal solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Case of Extra hot sauce     8000 cases

Case of Hot Sauce            10000 cases

Case of Mild Sauce           12000  + 2000 =  14000

z´(max) =  143500 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit of each product:

                                                     sale price $     cost  $       Profit $

Case of Extra hot sauce                       10                6                  4

Case of Hot Sauce                                10                5.5               4.5

Case of Mild Sauce                               10                5.25             4.75

The President of the company already orders the minimum of each case of sauce  as follows:

Case of Extra hot sauce  8000

Case of Hot Sauce          10000

Case of Mild Sauce        12000

Let´s call

x₁ quantity of cases of Case of Extra hot sauce  over 8000 cases

x₂ quantity of cases of Case of hot sauce  over 10000 cases

x₃ quantity of cases of Case of mild sauce  over 12000 cases

Then Objective function will be:

z  =  4*x₁  +  4.5*x₂  + 4.75*x₃    to maximize

Promoting budget constraint:

each dollar investing in promoting x₁   will become  10*x₁  ( cases)

each dollar investing in promoting x₂   will become   8*x₂(cases )

each  dollar investing in promoting x₃   will become  5*x₃ ( cases)

Total investment in promotion is 10000 $ again here we need by sure to invest 5000 $ in promotion for each type of sauce, leaving only extra 10000 $, then:

Constraint due to promotional budge:

10*x₁  +  8*x₂  +  5*x₃  ≤  10000

General constraints:

x₁  ≥  0     x₂  ≥0     x₃   ≥  0   all integers

Then the model  is:

z  =  4*x₁  +  4.5*x₂  + 4.75*x₃    to maximize

Subject to:

10*x₁  +  8*x₂  +  5*x₃  ≤  10000

x₁  ≥  0     x₂  ≥0     x₃   ≥  0   all integers

After 6 iterations using an on-line solver we got optimal solution:

x₁  =  x₂  =  0     x₃ = 2000

z(max) =  9500 $

Then as previous comments, the production will be:

Case of Extra hot sauce     8000 +  0   =  8000

Case of Hot Sauce            10000  +  0  =  10000

Case of Mild Sauce           12000  + 2000 =  14000

The whole profits :

z´  =  4*8000  + 4.5*10000 +  4.75 ( 12000 + 2000)

z´(max) = 32000 + 45000 +  66500

z´(max) = 143500 $

Aditional comments:

If we have n products at the same price it looks obvious that we manufacture the one wich the lowest cost. In this problem, the sales price is the same for the three sauces, and the production cost is the lowest for the Mild sauce, therefore as a consequence, it will be more profitable to manufacture Mild sauce.

Dan's car depreciates at a rate of 7% per year.
By what percentage has Dan's car depreciated after 6 years?
Give your answer to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The car is depreciated at a rate of 7% per year

We need to find out the percentage when the car is depreciated after 6 years

So,

Since the car is depreciated by 7% so we can say it can be 0.93 times in a year

Now after 6 years, it would make

= 0.93^3

= 0.80

So, the percentage is

= 1 - 0.80

= 0.20

= 20%

Suppose that the logons to a computer network follow a Poisson process with an average of 3 logons per minute. (a) What is the mean time between logons (in minutes)

Answers

Answer:

The mean time between logons is of 0.3333 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson process with an average of 3 logons per minute.

This means that the time between logons follows an exponential distribution, which mean is given by:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda}[/tex]

For this question, we have that [tex]\lambda = 3[/tex], and thus:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{3} = 0.3333[/tex]

Answer:

a.) a = -34 and b = 2

b.) a = -91.11 b = 2.22

c.) David scored 124, nancy scored 84.27

David scored higher

Step-by-step explanation:

for those in the 3rd grade

mean u = 67

s = 10

we used the z formula

[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{x-67}{10}[/tex]

we have the new score

u = 100

s = 20

we use this formula [tex]z*s+u[/tex]

[tex][\frac{x-67}{10} ]20\\[/tex] + 100

multiply through by 20

[tex][\frac{20x-1340}{10} ] +100[/tex]

dividing the bracket by 10

= [tex]2x-134+100[/tex]

= [tex]2x-34[/tex]

from this solution above,

a = -34 and b = 2

b.)

we solve for those in the 6th grade

u = 86

s = 9

[tex]\frac{x-86}{9}[/tex]

for new score,

y = 100

s = 20

[tex][\frac{x-86}{9} ]20+100[/tex]

[tex]2.22x-191.11+100\\= 2.22x - 91.11[/tex]

from this solution

a = -91.11

b = 2.22

c.) if David scored 79

[tex]= 2(x)-34[/tex]

= 2(79) - 34

= 158 - 34

= 124

if nancy scored 79

= 2.22(79) - 91.11

= 175.38 - 91.11

= 84.27

from these scores we can see that David scored higher in his grade

A research team conducted a study showing that approximately 30% of all businessmen who wear ties wear them so tightly that they actually reduce blood flow to the brain, diminishing cerebral functions. At a board meeting of 30 businessmen, all of whom wear ties, what are the following probabilities?

a. at least one tie is too tight
b. more than two ties are too tight
c. no tie is too tight
d. at least 18 ties are not too tight

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.9998

b) 0.9979

c) 0.7

d) 0.9155

Step-by-step explanation:

P( people who wear their ties tightly ) = 0.3

P( people who do not wear their ties tightly ) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

sample size ( n ) = 30

Given that the events are independent and there are only two outcomes we will apply Binomial distribution

a) P( at least one tie is too tight )

P ( x ≥ 1 ) = 1 - P ( x < 1 ) = 1 - P ( x = 0 )

       = 1 - 0.00002 = 0.9998 ( excel function: 1 - BINOMDIST(0,30,0.3,0) )

b) P( more than two ties are too tight )

P ( x > 2 ) = 1 - P ( x ≤ 2 ) = 1 - BINOMDIST(2, 30, 0.3, 1 )

                                       = 1 - 0.002113178

                                       = 0.9979

c) P ( no tie is tight )

P ( x = 0 ) = 0.7

d) P( at least 18 ties are not too tight )    i.e. ( P = 0.7 )

   P ( x ≥ 18 ) = 1 - P( x ≤  17 )

                     = 1 - BINOMDIST ( 17, 30, 0.7, 1 )

                     = 1 -  0.08447006

                    = 0.9155

you and your friend start biking to opposite directions from the same point. You travel 108 feet every 8 seconds. Your friend travels 63 feet every 6 seconds. a) how far apart are you and your friend after 15 minutes? b) after 20 minutes you take a 5- minutes rest, but your friend does not. How far apart are you and your friend after 40 minutes? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

To find your distance apart, you can convert 15 minutes to seconds because that is what the rate is given in.

15 mins x 60 seconds = 900 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 900 seconds, there are 900/8=112.5 groups of 8 seconds. This means there are 112.5 groups of 108 feet.

112.5 x 108 = 12150 feet

12150 feet/5280 feet is approximately 2.3 miles.

For your friend you take 900/6 = 150 groups of 6 seconds.

150 x 63 = 9540 feet

9540 feet/5280 feet = 1.79 miles

1.79 miles + 2.3 miles = 2.09 miles

You and your friend are about 2.09 miles apart after 15 minutes.

B). If you go 2.3 miles every 15 minutes, that means you travel about 0.77 miles every 5 minutes. If you travel 20 more minutes (40-15-5) that would be 0.77x 4=3.07 miles more

3.07 + 2.3 = 5.37 miles after 40 minutes (you).

Your friend travels 1.79 in 15 minutes, so 1.79/3 = 0.6 miles every 5 minutes

0.6 x 5 (5 x 5 = 25 minutes)= 3 miles

1.79 + 3 miles= 4.79 miles (friend)

4.79 + 5.37 = 10.16 miles

You and your friend are about 10.16 miles apart after 40 minutes.

1. A drama club earned $662.50 from a production where 85 adult tickets were sold and 65
student tickets were sold. An adult ticket costs $2.50 more than a student ticket. Which
system of equations can be used to find a, the cost of an adult ticket, and s, the cost of a
student ticket?

Answers

Answer: The cost of adult ticket is $6.1 and that of student ticket is $2.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of adult ticket be 'x' and cost of student ticket be 'y'

From the question, the equations formed are:

[tex]662.5=85x+65y[/tex]                .....(1)

[tex]x=2.5y[/tex]                                ......(2)

Putting value of 'y' from equation 2 to equation 1:

[tex]662.5=85(2.5x)+65y\\\\662.5=271.5y\\\\y=\frac{662.5}{271.5}=\$ 2.44[/tex]

Now, solving for 'x', we get:

[tex]x=2.5(2.44)=\$ 6.1[/tex]

Hence, the cost of adult ticket is $6.1 and that of student ticket is $2.44

You are told that a random sample of 150 people from Manchester New Hampshire have been given cholesterol tests, and 60 of these people had levels over the "safe" count of 200. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people in New Hampshire with cholesterol levels over 200.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people in New Hampshire with cholesterol levels over 200 is (0.3216, 0.4784).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

You are told that a random sample of 150 people from Manchester New Hampshire have been given cholesterol tests, and 60 of these people had levels over the "safe" count of 200.

This means that [tex]n = 150, \pi = \frac{60}{150} = 0.4[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4*0.6}{150}} = 0.3216[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4*0.6}{150}} = 0.4784[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people in New Hampshire with cholesterol levels over 200 is (0.3216, 0.4784).
