Chapter 4.4, Problem 6E
Does It Make Sense? For Exercises 5–8, determine whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these statements have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
6. Batteries. A manufacturer uses two different production sites to make batteries for cell phones. There is a defect rate of 2% at one of the sites and a defect rate of 4% at the other site. Therefore, the overall rate of defects must be 3%.

Your best friend is adamant about competing in a mini-triathlon that consists of first a 2km endurance run, then a 2km hilly cycling, and lastly a 2km freestyle swim. She wants YOU, the mathematics expert, to design a guideline for her training. You determined that, to have a shot at winning, she must maintain an average speed of 5 km/h throughout the entire triathlon. She must run at 15 km/h and cycle at 30 km/h. What should be her swimming speed if she is to have a shot at winning?

Why should we have little confidence in this estimate?arrow_forwardA business wants to lower its price level to increase sales of its goods. However, for the price reduction to be beneficial, the increase in sales after the price decrease must be greater than 10%. After the business lowers its prices, it monitors its sales for 60 days and determines that the rate of increase in sales is 13% on average. Should the business maintain the low price level practice?

- The marketing team at P&G Company is developing an advertising campaign to promote their specialty products. They are considering the usage of Television (TV) and Social Media (SM) as the advertising media for their proposed campaign. The cost of making one TV ad is $1200 and the cost of making one SM ad is $600. P&G's advertising budget has been set at $30,000. The TV exposure rate is 600,000 per ad and SM exposure rate is 200,000 per ad. The following additional guidelines are to be considered. • Do not use more than 25 Social Media ads. • Use at least 35 combined TV and Social Media ads. • Ensure a minimum of 5000 exposures through Social Media exposures • The number of Social Media ads cannot be less than the number of TV ads. The Management at P&G would like to know how many TV and how many SM ads should be used to maximize the overall exposure rates of the advertising campaign • Describe the case briefly indicating its dimension (number of variables and…arrow_forwardThe U.S. government wants to determine whether immigrants should be tested for a contagious disease, and it is planning to base this decision on financial considerations. Assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and has the disease costs the country $100,000. Also, assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and does not have the disease will contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percent of all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S. government can choose to admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants, or test immigrants for the disease before determining whether they should be admitted. It costs T dollars to test a person for the disease, and the test result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease test negative. The government’s goal is to maximize the expected net financial benefits per…arrow_forward1.At what price should the company sell their product if they wish to make as much revenue as possible?

It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on the shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points B and D are 8 km apart. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) In general, if it takes 1.3 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area?arrow_forward
