Please give a detailed solution with an explanation. Please make sure the graph is visible, clear, and detailed. Make sure you label all the x and y coordinates for each one.
with the information given draw a graph, On the x-axis, you would have the number of units sold (from 0 to 800,000 in increments of 100, 000) and on the y-axis, you would have the dollar amount (from 0 to $3,200,000 in increments of $
400,000). Draw a line from the origin with a slope equal to the variable cost per unit ($2.5) to represent total variable costs. Draw a horizontal line at $600,000 to represent total fixed costs. The sum of these two lines gives the total cost line.
Draw another line from the origin with a slope equal to the selling price per unit ($4) to represent total sales. The point where the total sales line intersects the total cost line
Long-Life Insurance developed a linear model to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have, based on the head of the household's current age.
The equation is: y = 163 -0.45xwherey = Insurance needed ($000)x = Current age of head of household
Calculate the amount of term life insurance you would recommend for a family of four if the head of the household is 53 years old. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

- MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS An ecommerce company decides to send a gift voucher worth $1000 to a set of customers they believe would make a purchase of at least $5000. They develop a model to identify potential customers who can make a purchase of $5000 if we send the $1000 voucher. Which of the following is more critical about the model? O False negative is worse than False positive if voucher amount crosses $5000 O Both False positive and negative are acceptable O False positive is worse than a False negative O False negative is worse than a False positive Which of the following statements is TRUE? O Tree based models are normally not affected by outliers O Presence of outliers in the data has no effect on Regression models O Standard scaler performs well on features that have outliers O Tree-based models do not rely on dividing the feature space into sub-sectionsarrow_forwardWhile stars are less common on trees, lights are almost always on trees.

- Linear programming has no real-life applications. Do you agree with this statement? Discussarrow_forwardSeas Beginning sells clothing by mail order. An important question is when to strike a customer from the companys mailing list. At present, the company strikes a customer from its mailing list if a customer fails to order from six consecutive catalogs. The company wants to know whether striking a customer from its list after a customer fails to order from four consecutive catalogs results in a higher profit per customer. The following data are available: If a customer placed an order the last time she received a catalog, then there is a 20% chance she will order from the next catalog. If a customer last placed an order one catalog ago, there is a 16% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order two catalogs ago, there is a 12% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order three catalogs ago, there is an 8% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order four catalogs ago, there is a 4% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. If a customer last placed an order five catalogs ago, there is a 2% chance she will order from the next catalog she receives. It costs 2 to send a catalog, and the average profit per order is 30. Assume a customer has just placed an order. To maximize expected profit per customer, would Seas Beginning make more money canceling such a customer after six nonorders or four nonorders?arrow_forward
