property owner wants to fence a garden plot adjacent to a road, as shown in the figure. The fencing next to the road must be sturdier and costs RM5 per foot, but the other fencing costs just RM3 per foot. The garden is to have an area of 1200 ft. (a) Find a function that models the cost of fencing the garden. (b) Find the garden dimensions that minimize the cost of fencing. (c) If the owner has at most RM600 to spend on fencing, find the range of lengths he can fence along the road.

A production process produces and packages soap in boxes weighing 140 grams. Owing to inspection carried out by several large municipalities, the penalty for placing, on the average, less than 140 grams in a box can be severe. Likewise it would also be wasteful for the company if they place, on the average, more than 140 grams in a box. Hence, the machine was adjusted to put 140 grams of soap in a box. After a year, the company wants to check if there is a need to readjust the machine. The company wishes to perform a test of hypothesis at 0.01 level of significance using the following data collected from a random sample: (photo attached). • State Ho and Ha.• Write the formula of the test statistic to be used.• State the decision rule at 0.01 level of significance.• Compute for the value of the test statistic.• Is there sufficient evidence at 0.01 level of significance for the company to conclude that mean weight of soap packaged in a box is not anymore 140 grams so that there is a need…

How many minutes of each medium should be used if TV costs $800 per minute, radio costs $200 per minute, and the candidate wishes to minimize costs? TV min radio min
Dr. Aukuculus is exploring the effects of bluelight on college students' sleep schedule. He uses 16 students to test his theory, 8 using bluelight 30 minutes before they go to bed and 8 using no bluelight 30 minutes before bed. He believes that students who use the bluelight will have struggles falling asleep, compared to students who do not use the bluelight. He has collected data to support his hypothesis, the higher the number the longer it takes the student to fall asleep, and the lower the number the shorter it takes the student to fall asleep. Values are the number of minutes. Bluelight No Bluelight 14 14 22 13 30 12 25 12 23 20 16 17 23 10 30 13 Please calculate the test statistic and pvalue. What can be concluded? Support your answer.

UG can only properly release a limited number of games, even though they have a number of candidates in development. They are trying to figure out which game they should release next quarter among four possibilities (and in so doing, gain some insight into how to make such decisions in the future). There is some uncertainty as the projected profitability of the release depends on the state of the gaming market 6 months in the future. Based on their experience, UG has provided an estimate of profit for a “good” gaming market and a “bad” gaming market for the four candidate games (see below). Even with these estimates, though, UG managers are unsure which game to choose. UG managers consider themselves to be optimistic about the future but would like to consider a large variety of ways to make this decision. When asked how likely they think it is that the market will be good, UG said “about a 65% chance”. UG mentioned that they are curious about “opportunity loss”, but they have…

The supervisor at the Precision Machine Shop wants to determine the staffing policy that minimizes total operating costs. The average arrival rate at the tool crib, where tools are dispensed to the workers, is eight machinists per hour. Each machinist’s pay is $25 per hour. The supervisor can staff the crib either with a junior attendant who is paid $13 per hour and can process 12 arrivals per hour or with a senior attendant who is paid $16 per hour and can process 16 arrivals per hour. Which attendant should be selected, and what would be the total estimated hourly cost?

The regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency annually hires second-year law students as summer interns to help the agency prepare court cases. The agency is under a budget and wishes to keep its costs at a minimum. However, hiring student interns is less costly than hiring full-time employees. Accordingly, the agency wishes to hire the maximum number of students without overstaffing. On the average, it takes two interns all summer to research a case. The interns turn their work over to staff attorneys, who prosecute the cases in the fall when the circuit court convenes. The legal staff coordinator has to place his budget request in June of the preceding summer for the number of positions he wishes to maintain. It is therefore impossible for him to know with certainty how many cases will be researched in the following summer. The data from the preceding summers are as follows Year: 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Cases: 6…
A corporation is selecting where to develop a restaurant with a capital of Php 2,000,000. They can put it in the center of a business district to raise prices, but it will have to compete with other restaurants in the area. They could even establish it in front of a school, where they would have to charge less sincethey would be competing with fewer restaurants.The company analyzed the considerations and data shows that building a restaurant in a commercial district has an 80% chance of earning Php 1 million and a 20% chance of losing the entire capital, whereas building a restaurant in front of a school has a 95% chance of earning Php 500 thousand and a 5% chance of losing the entire capital. Where should the corporation establish the restaurant based on the predicted profit?
