7:49 PM Sat Mar 21 * 98% 28. Marginal profit. The profit, in thousands of dollars, from the sale of x thousand candles can be estimated by Р (<) — 2х — 0.3x In x. a. Find the marginal profit, P (x). b. Find P (150), and explain what this number represents. c. How many candles (in thousands) should be sold in order to achieve a marginal profit of $750 per thousand candles? Social and Life Sciences 29. Forgetting. As part of a study, students in a psychology class took a final exam and then took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. After t months, the average score S(t), as a percentage, was found to be given by S(t) = 78 – 15 In(t + 1), 0 <1< 80. a. What was the average score when the students initially took the test? b. What was the average score after 4 months? c. What was the average score after 24 months? d. Find S (t). e. Find S (4) and S (24), and interpret the meaning of these numbers. 30. Walking speed. Bornstein and Bornstein found in a study that the average walking speed v, in feet per second, of a person living in a city of population p, in thousands, is v(p) = 0.37 In p+ 0.05. (Source: M. H. Bornstein and H. G. Bornstein, “The Pace of Life," Nature, Vol. 259, pp. 557–559 (1976).) a. The population of Seattle is 660,000 (p = 660). What is the average walking speed of a person living in Seattle? b. The population of New York is 8,550,000. What is the average walking speed of a person living in New York? c. Find v (660) and v (8550), and interpret the meaning of these numbers. d. The average walking speed in a city is 2.31 ft/sec. What is this city's approximate population?
