- Cell Phone Plans Gwendolyn is mulling over the three cell phone plans shown in the table. Gigabytes GB of data included Monthly Cost Each additional megabytes MB Plan A Plan B Plan C 1 1 1 25.00 40.00 60.00 2.00 1.50 1.00 From past experience, Gwendolyn knows that she will always use more than 1GB of cell phone data every month. aMake table of values that shows the cost of each plan for 1 GB to 4 GB, in 500 MB increments. bFind formulas that give Gwendolyns monthly cost for each plan, assuming that she uses x gigabytes of data per month where x1. cWhat is the charge from each plan when Gwendolyn uses 2.2 GB? 3.7 GB? 4.9 GB? d Use your formulas from part b to determine the number of gigabytes of data usage for which: (i) Plan A and Plan B give the same cost. (ii) Plan A and Plan C give the same cost. (iii) Plan B and Plan C give the same cost.arrow_forwardGrade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A 4 points B 3 points C 2 points D 1 point F 0 point For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit course earns 43=12 grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A students grade point average GPA for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)8=3.375. a Find a formula for the GPA of a student who earns a grade of A in a units of course work, B in b units, C in c units, D in d units and F in f units. b Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3-unit courses, B in one 4-unit courses and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardIf during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forward

Use the same calculation that you did for your Avatar's typical monthly food costs. First determine how much Alex spends on food in a week. Then determine how much Alex would spend in a year (use the approximation that there are 52 weeks in a year). From that value, determine Alex's typical monthly food costs by using the idea that there are 12 months in a year.

Express percentages as decimals (instead of 25.6%, use .256) Cell phone users in Boise can choose between three carriers: Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon. Advertising by all three companies results in a continual shift of customers. Each year, Sprint loses 30% of customers to AT&T and 30% to Verizon. AT&T loses 20% to Sprint and 10% to Verizon. Verizon loses 25% to Sprint and 25% to AT&T. Currently, Sprint has 25% of the market, AT&T has 35%, and Verizon has 40%. Use the order Sprint (S), AT&T (A), Verizon (V) throughout this assignment. 1. State the probability vector: 2. Create the transition matrix, labeling rows and columns, and draw the transition diagram.
