A company is planning to manufacture mountain bikes. The fixed monthly cost will be $300,000 and it will cost $300
to produce each bicycle.
A) Find the linear cost function.
B) Find the average cost function.

Future Value = Monthly Deposit [(1 + Interest Rate)^(Number of Deposits) - 1] / Interest Rate

First, let's calculate the future value with an interest rate of 0.75% compounded monthly.

The number of deposits can be calculated as follows:

Number of Deposits = (60 - 25) 12 = 420 deposits

Using the formula:

Future Value = $1,80  [(1 + 0.0075)^(420) - 1] / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80  (1.0075^420 - 1) / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80 (1.492223 - 1) / 0.0075

Future Value = $1,80  0.492223 / 0.0075

Future Value = $118.133

Therefore, with an interest rate of 0.75% compounded monthly, you would have approximately $118.133 in your pension plan at the age of 60.

Now let's calculate the future value with an interest rate of 9% compounded annually.

The number of deposits remains the same:

Number of Deposits = (60 - 25)  12 = 420 deposits

Using the formula:

Future Value = $1,80  [(1 + 0.09)^(35) - 1] / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  (1.09^35 - 1) / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  (3.138428 - 1) / 0.09

Future Value = $1,80  2.138428 / 0.09

Future Value = $42.769

Therefore, with an interest rate of 9% compounded annually, you would have approximately $42.769 in your pension plan at the age of 60.

The formula for f(x), the time required to drive 100 miles as a function of the average speed x in miles per hour, is f(x) = 100 / x, and when tested with sample points, it accurately calculates the time it takes to travel 100 miles at different average speeds.

To find a formula for f(x), the time required to drive 100 miles as a function of the average speed x in miles per hour, we can use the formula for time:

time = distance / speed

In this case, the distance is fixed at 100 miles, so the formula becomes:

f(x) = 100 / x

This formula represents the relationship between the average speed x and the time it takes to drive 100 miles.

Let's test this formula with some sample points:

f(50) = 100 / 50 = 2 hours (as given in the example)

At an average speed of 50 miles per hour, it would take 2 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(60) = 100 / 60 ≈ 1.67 hours

At an average speed of 60 miles per hour, it would take approximately 1.67 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(70) = 100 / 70 ≈ 1.43 hours

At an average speed of 70 miles per hour, it would take approximately 1.43 hours to travel 100 miles.

f(80) = 100 / 80 = 1.25 hours

At an average speed of 80 miles per hour, it would take 1.25 hours to travel 100 miles.

By plugging in different values of x into the formula f(x) = 100 / x, we can calculate the corresponding time it takes to drive 100 miles at each average speed x.

20 heads of lettuce were sold each day.

In this scenario, Arthur Applegate, the produce manager, stacked the display case with 80 heads of lettuce on Monday. On Tuesday, the manager surveyed the display case and counted the number of heads that were left. He decided to add an equal number of heads. This means that the number of heads of lettuce was doubled. So, now the number of lettuce heads in the display was 160. He sold the same number of heads as he did on Monday, i.e., 80 heads of lettuce. On Wednesday, the manager decided to triple the number of heads that he had left.

Therefore, he tripled the number of lettuce heads he had left, which was 80 heads of lettuce on Tuesday. So, now there were 240 heads of lettuce in the display. He sold the same number of lettuce heads that day too, i.e., 80 heads of lettuce. Therefore, the number of lettuce heads sold each day was 20 heads of lettuce.

Therefore, the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well is 4h lb.

To find the work done in pulling the bucket to the top of the well, we need to consider the weight of the bucket and the work done against gravity. The work done against gravity can be calculated by multiplying the weight of the bucket by the height it is lifted.

Given:

Weight of the bucket = 4 lb

Rate of pulling the bucket = 0.2 lb/s

Let's assume the height of the well is h.

Since the bucket is lifted at a rate of 0.2 lb/s, the time taken to pull the bucket to the top is given by:

t = Weight of the bucket / Rate of pulling the bucket

t = 4 lb / 0.2 lb/s

t = 20 seconds

The work done against gravity is given by:

Work = Weight * Height

The weight of the bucket remains constant at 4 lb, and the height it is lifted is the height of the well, h. Therefore, the work done against gravity is:

Work = 4 lb * h

Since the weight of the bucket is constant, the work done against gravity is independent of time.

The polynomial with the given zeros is f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8.

To find a polynomial with the given zeros, we need to start by using the zero product property. This property tells us that if a polynomial has a factor of (x - r), then the value r is a zero of the polynomial. So, if we have the zeros 2, 1+2i, and 1-2i, then we can write the polynomial as:

f(x) = (x - 2)(x - (1+2i))(x - (1-2i))

Next, we can simplify this expression by multiplying out the factors using the distributive property:

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1) - 2i)((x - 1) + 2i)

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1)^2 - (2i)^2)

f(x) = (x - 2)((x - 1)^2 + 4)

Finally, we can expand this expression by multiplying out the remaining factors:

f(x) = (x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8)

Therefore, the polynomial with the given zeros is f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 9x - 8.

u(x,t) = C is constant in time, and we have proved our result.

Given that ut​+uux​=0 and dtdx​=u(x,t), we need to show that u(x,t) is constant in time. We can prove this as follows:

Consider the function F(x(t), t). We know that dtdx​=u(x,t).

Therefore, we can write this as: dt​=dx​/u(x,t)

Now, let's differentiate F with respect to t:

∂F/∂t​=∂F/∂x ​dx/dt+∂F/∂t

= u(x,t)∂F/∂x + ∂F/∂t

Since u(x,t) satisfies the differential equation ut​+uux​=0, we know that

∂F/∂t=−u(x,t)∂F/∂x

So, ∂F/∂t=−∂F/∂x ​dt

dx​=−∂F/∂x ​u(x,t)

Substituting this value in the previous equation, we get:

∂F/∂t=−u(x,t)∂F/∂x

=−dFdx

Now, we can solve the differential equation ∂F/∂t=−dFdx to get F(x(t), t)= C (constant)

Therefore, F(x(t), t) = u(x,t)

Assume that P(t), the population, in millions, 1 years after 1995, is decreasing according to the exponential decay model. A) The value of k = e^(14k). B) Tthe population of the country in 2019 = 33.6 million. E) After about 116 years (since 1995), the population of the country will be 1 million according to this model.

a) We need to find the value of k, and write the equation.

Given that the population of a country dropped from 52.4 million in 1995 to 44.6 million in 2009.

Assume that P(t), the population, in millions, 1 years after 1995, is decreasing according to the exponential decay model.

To find k, we use the formula:

P(t) = P₀e^kt

Where: P₀

= 52.4 (Population in 1995)P(t)

= 44.6 (Population in 2009, 14 years later)

Putting these values in the formula:

P₀ = 52.4P(t)

= 44.6t

= 14P(t)

= P₀e^kt44.6

= 52.4e^(k * 14)44.6/52.4

= e^(14k)0.8506

= e^(14k)

Taking natural logarithm on both sides:

ln(0.8506) = ln(e^(14k))

ln(0.8506) = 14k * ln(e)

ln(e) = 1 (since logarithmic and exponential functions are inverse functions)

So, 14k = ln(0.8506)k = (ln(0.8506))/14k ≈ -0.02413

The equation for P(t) is given by:

P(t) = P₀e^kt

P(t) = 52.4e^(-0.02413t)

b) We need to estimate the population of the country in 2019.

1 year after 2009, i.e., in 2010,

t = 15.P(15)

= 52.4e^(-0.02413 * 15)P(15)

≈ 41.7 million

In 2019,

t = 24.P(24)

= 52.4e^(-0.02413 * 24)P(24)

≈ 33.6 million

So, the estimated population of the country in 2019 is 33.6 million.

e) We need to find after how many years will the population of the country be 1 million, according to this model.

P(t) = 1P₀ = 52.4

Putting these values in the formula:

P(t) = P₀e^kt1

= 52.4e^(-0.02413t)1/52.4

= e^(-0.02413t)

Taking natural logarithm on both sides:

ln(1/52.4) = ln(e^(-0.02413t))

ln(1/52.4) = -0.02413t * ln(e)

ln(e) = 1 (since logarithmic and exponential functions are inverse functions)

So, -0.02413t

= ln(1/52.4)t

= -(ln(1/52.4))/(-0.02413)t

≈ 115.73

Therefore, after about 116 years (since 1995), the population of the country will be 1 million according to this model.

General solution is the sum of the complementary function and the particular solution:

y(x) = y_c(x) + y_p(x)

= c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x) + (1/6)e^(3x)

To solve the given differential equation using the method of undetermined coefficients, we first need to find the complementary function by solving the homogeneous equation:

dx^2 d^2y/dx^2 - 5 dx/dx dy/dx + 6y = 0

The characteristic equation is:

r^2 - 5r + 6 = 0

Factoring this equation gives us:

(r - 2)(r - 3) = 0

So the roots are r = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the complementary function is:

y_c(x) = c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x)

Now, we need to find the particular solution y_p(x) by assuming a form for it based on the non-homogeneous term e^(3x). Since e^(3x) is already part of the complementary function, we assume that the particular solution takes the form:

y_p(x) = Ae^(3x)

We then calculate the first and second derivatives of y_p(x):

dy_p/dx = 3Ae^(3x)

d^2y_p/dx^2 = 9Ae^(3x)

Substituting these expressions into the differential equation, we get:

dx^2 (9Ae^(3x)) - 5 dx/dx (3Ae^(3x)) + 6(Ae^(3x)) = e^(3x)

Simplifying and collecting like terms, we get:

18Ae^(3x) - 15Ae^(3x) + 6Ae^(3x) = e^(3x)

Solving for A, we get:

A = 1/6

Therefore, the particular solution is:

y_p(x) = (1/6)e^(3x)

The general solution is the sum of the complementary function and the particular solution:

y(x) = y_c(x) + y_p(x)

= c1e^(2x) + c2e^(3x) + (1/6)e^(3x)

If we take a sample of size n from a random variable X with mean μ and variance σ^2, the distribution of X - μ will have a mean of 0 and the same variance σ^2 as X.

The random variable X - μ represents the deviation of X from its mean μ. The distribution of X - μ can be characterized by its mean and variance.

Mean of X - μ:

The mean of X - μ can be calculated as follows:

E(X - μ) = E(X) - E(μ) = μ - μ = 0

Variance of X - μ:

The variance of X - μ can be calculated as follows:

Var(X - μ) = Var(X)

From the properties of variance, we know that for a random variable X, the variance remains unchanged when a constant is added or subtracted. Since μ is a constant, the variance of X - μ is equal to the variance of X.

Therefore, the distribution of X - μ has a mean of 0 and the same variance as X. This means that X - μ has the same distribution as X, just shifted by a constant value of -μ. In other words, the distribution of X - μ is centered around 0 and has the same spread as the original distribution of X.

In summary, if we take a sample of size n from a random variable X with mean μ and variance σ^2, the distribution of X - μ will have a mean of 0 and the same variance σ^2 as X.

a. T: R^2 → R^2 is not a linear transformation. b. T: P^5 → P^5 is not a linear transformation. c. T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is a linear transformation.

(a) The function T: R^2 → R^2 given by T(x₁, x₂) = (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂) is **not a linear transformation**.

To show this, we need to verify two properties for T to be a linear transformation: **additivity** and **homogeneity**.

Let's consider additivity first. For T to be additive, T(u + v) should be equal to T(u) + T(v) for any vectors u and v. However, in this case, T(x₁, x₂) = (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), but T(x₁ + x₁, x₂ + x₂) = T(2x₁, 2x₂) = (e^(2x₁), 2x₁ + 8x₂). Since (e^(2x₁), 2x₁ + 8x₂) is not equal to (e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), the function T is not additive, violating one of the properties of a linear transformation.

Next, let's consider homogeneity. For T to be homogeneous, T(cu) should be equal to cT(u) for any scalar c and vector u. However, in this case, T(cx₁, cx₂) = (e^(cx₁), cx₁ + 4cx₂), while cT(x₁, x₂) = c(e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂). Since (e^(cx₁), cx₁ + 4cx₂) is not equal to c(e^(x₁), x₁ + 4x₂), the function T is not homogeneous, violating another property of a linear transformation.

Thus, we have shown that T: R^2 → R^2 is not a linear transformation.

(b) The function T: P^5 → P^5 given by T(f(x)) = x²f''(x) + 4f(x) is **not a linear transformation**.

To prove this, we again need to check the properties of additivity and homogeneity.

Considering additivity, we need to show that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) for any polynomials f(x) and g(x). However, T(f(x) + g(x)) = x²(f''(x) + g''(x)) + 4(f(x) + g(x)), while T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) = x²f''(x) + 4f(x) + x²g''(x) + 4g(x). These two expressions are not equal, indicating that T is not additive and thus not a linear transformation.

For homogeneity, we need to show that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)) for any scalar c and polynomial f(x). However, T(cf(x)) = x²(cf''(x)) + 4(cf(x)), while cT(f(x)) = cx²f''(x) + 4cf(x). Again, these two expressions are not equal, demonstrating that T is not homogeneous and therefore not a linear transformation.

Hence, we have shown that T: P^5 → P^5 is not a linear transformation.

(c) The function T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is **a linear transformation**.

To prove this, we need to confirm that T satisfies both additivity and homogeneity.

For additivity, we need to show that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T

(g(x)) for any polynomials f(x) and g(x). Let's consider T(f(x) + g(x)). We have T(f(x) + g(x)) = [(f(x) + g(x) + 1))^2 = (f(x) + g(x) + 1))^2 = (f(x + 1) + g(x + 1))^2. Expanding this expression, we get (f(x + 1))^2 + 2f(x + 1)g(x + 1) + (g(x + 1))^2.

Now, let's look at T(f(x)) + T(g(x)). We have T(f(x)) + T(g(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 + (g(x + 1))^2. Comparing these two expressions, we see that T(f(x) + g(x)) = T(f(x)) + T(g(x)), which satisfies additivity.

For homogeneity, we need to show that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)) for any scalar c and polynomial f(x). Let's consider T(cf(x)). We have T(cf(x)) = (cf(x + 1))^2 = c^2(f(x + 1))^2.

Now, let's look at cT(f(x)). We have cT(f(x)) = c(f(x + 1))^2 = c^2(f(x + 1))^2. Comparing these two expressions, we see that T(cf(x)) = cT(f(x)), which satisfies homogeneity.

Thus, we have shown that T: P^2 → P^4 given by T(f(x)) = (f(x + 1))^2 is a linear transformation.

The estimated change in concentration when t changes from 40 to 50 minutes is approximately -0.0009 mg/ml.

To estimate the change in concentration, we need to find the difference in concentration values at t = 50 minutes and t = 40 minutes.

Given the concentration function:

C(t) = 4 + (2t)/(1 + t^3) - e^(-0.08t)

First, let's calculate the concentration at t = 50 minutes:

C(50 minutes) = 4 + (2 * 50) / (1 + (50^3)) - e^(-0.08 * 50)

Next, let's calculate the concentration at t = 40 minutes:

C(40 minutes) = 4 + (2 * 40) / (1 + (40^3)) - e^(-0.08 * 40)

Now, we can find the change in concentration:

Change in concentration = C(50 minutes) - C(40 minutes)

Plugging in the values and performing the calculations, we find that the estimated change in concentration is approximately -0.0009 mg/ml.

According to the given data, a random sample of 340 college students were asked if they believed that places could be haunted, and 133 responded yes.

The aim is to estimate the true proportion of college students who believe in the possibility of haunted places with 95% confidence. Also, it is given that according to Time magazine, 37% of Americans believe that places can be haunted.

The point estimate for the true proportion is:

P-hat = x/

nowhere x is the number of students who believe in the possibility of haunted places and n is the sample size.= 133/340

= 0.3912

The standard error of P-hat is:

[tex]SE = sqrt{[P-hat(1 - P-hat)]/n}SE

= sqrt{[0.3912(1 - 0.3912)]/340}SE

The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is:

ME = z*SE

where z is the z-score associated with 95% confidence level. Since the sample size is greater than 30, we can use the standard normal distribution and look up the z-value using a z-table or calculator.

For a 95% confidence level, the z-value is 1.96.

ME = 1.96 * 0.0307ME = 0.0601

The 95% confidence interval is:

P-hat ± ME0.3912 ± 0.0601

The lower limit is 0.3311 and the upper limit is 0.4513.

Thus, we can estimate with 95% confidence that the true proportion of college students who believe in the possibility of haunted places is between 0.3311 and 0.4513.

After Kelsey bought 5(5)/(8) liters of milk and drank 1(2)/(7) liters, there was 27/56 liters of milk left.

To find out how much milk was left after Kelsey bought 5(5)/(8) liters and drank 1(2)/(7) liters, we need to subtract the amount of milk consumed from the initial amount.

The initial amount of milk Kelsey bought was 5(5)/(8) liters.

Kelsey drank 1(2)/(7) liters of milk.

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 8 and 7 is 56.

Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 56:

5(5)/(8) liters = (5*7)/(8*7) = 35/56 liters

1(2)/(7) liters = (1*8)/(7*8) = 8/56 liters

Now, let's subtract the amount of milk consumed from the initial amount:

Amount left = Initial amount - Amount consumed

Amount left = 35/56 - 8/56

To subtract the fractions, we keep the denominator the same and subtract the numerators:

Amount left = (35 - 8)/56

Amount left = 27/56 liters

It's important to note that fractions can be simplified if possible. In this case, 27/56 cannot be simplified further, so it remains as 27/56. The answer is provided in fraction form, representing the exact amount of milk left.

The solution to the equation (2)/(x+3) + (5)/(x-3) = (37)/(x^(2)-9) is obtained by finding the values of x that satisfy the expanded equation 7x^3 + 9x^2 - 63x - 118 = 0 using numerical methods.

To solve the rational equation (2)/(x+3) + (5)/(x-3) = (37)/(x^2 - 9), we will follow a systematic approach.

Step 1: Identify any restrictions

Since the equation involves fractions, we need to check for any values of x that would make the denominators equal to zero, as division by zero is undefined.

In this case, the denominators are x + 3, x - 3, and x^2 - 9. We can see that x cannot be equal to -3 or 3, as these values would make the denominators equal to zero. Therefore, x ≠ -3 and x ≠ 3 are restrictions for this equation.

Step 2: Find a common denominator

To simplify the equation, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions involved. The common denominator in this case is (x + 3)(x - 3) because it incorporates both (x + 3) and (x - 3).

Step 3: Multiply through by the common denominator

Multiply each term of the equation by the common denominator to eliminate the fractions. This will result in an equation without denominators.

[(2)(x - 3) + (5)(x + 3)](x + 3)(x - 3) = (37)

Simplifying:

[2x - 6 + 5x + 15](x^2 - 9) = 37

(7x + 9)(x^2 - 9) = 37

Step 4: Expand and simplify

Expand the equation and simplify the resulting expression.

7x^3 - 63x + 9x^2 - 81 = 37

7x^3 + 9x^2 - 63x - 118 = 0

Step 5: Solve the cubic equation

Unfortunately, solving a general cubic equation algebraically can be complex and involve advanced techniques. In this case, solving the equation directly may not be feasible using elementary methods.

To obtain the specific values of x that satisfy the equation, numerical methods or approximations can be used, such as graphing the equation or using numerical solvers.

The given function is h(x) = (4x² + 5)(2x + 2)/(7x - 9). We are to find its derivative.To find the derivative of h(x), we will use the quotient rule of differentiation.

Which states that the derivative of the quotient of two functions f(x) and g(x) is given by `(f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x))/[g(x)]²`. Using the quotient rule, the derivative of h(x) is given by

h'(x) = `[(d/dx)(4x² + 5)(2x + 2)(7x - 9)] - [(4x² + 5)(2x + 2)(d/dx)(7x - 9)]/{(7x - 9)}²

= `[8x(4x² + 5) + 2(4x² + 5)(2)](7x - 9) - (4x² + 5)(2x + 2)(7)/{(7x - 9)}²

= `(8x(4x² + 5) + 16x² + 20)(7x - 9) - 14(4x² + 5)(x + 1)/{(7x - 9)}²

= `[(32x³ + 40x + 16x² + 20)(7x - 9) - 14(4x² + 5)(x + 1)]/{(7x - 9)}².

Simplifying the expression, we have h'(x) = `(224x⁴ - 160x³ - 832x² + 280x + 630)/{(7x - 9)}²`.

Therefore, the derivative of the given function h(x) is h'(x) = `(224x⁴ - 160x³ - 832x² + 280x + 630)/{(7x - 9)}²`.

The caloric consumption of 36 adults was measured and found to average 2,173.

Assume the population standard deviation is 266 calories per day.

Given, Sample size n = 36, Sample mean x = 2,173, Population standard deviation σ = 266

a) The 91% confidence interval: The formula for confidence interval is given as: Lower Limit (LL) = x - z α/2(σ/√n)

Upper Limit (UL) = x + z α/2(σ/√n)

Here, the significance level is 1 - α = 91% α = 0.09

∴ z α/2 = z 0.045 (from standard normal table)

z 0.045 = 1.70

∴ Lower Limit (LL) = x - z α/2(σ/√n) = 2173 - 1.70(266/√36) = 2173 - 90.92 = 2082.08

∴ Upper Limit (UL) = x + z α/2(σ/√n) = 2173 + 1.70(266/√36) = 2173 + 90.92 = 2263.92

The annual interest rate for the loan is 15.2125%.

A borrower and a lender agreed that after 25 years loan time the borrower will pay back the original loan amount increased with 117 percent. The loan is compounded.

We need to calculate the annual interest rate.

The formula for the future value of a lump sum of an annuity is:

FV = PV (1 + r)n,

Where

PV = present value of the annuity

r = annual interest rate

n = number of years

FV = future value of the annuity

Given, the loan is compounded. So, the formula will be,

FV = PV (1 + r/n)nt

Where,FV = Future value

PV = Present value of the annuity

r = Annual interest rate

n = number of years for which annuity is compounded

t = number of times compounding occurs annually

Here, the present value of the annuity is the original loan amount.

To find the annual interest rate, we use the formula for compound interest and solve for r.

Let's solve the problem.

r = n[(FV/PV) ^ (1/nt) - 1]

r = 25 [(1 + 1.17) ^ (1/25) - 1]

r = 25 [1.046085 - 1]

r = 0.152125 or 15.2125%.

As per the unitary method,

Sarah bought 5 first-class tickets.

Sarah bought 4 coach tickets.

The cost of x first-class tickets would be $1230 multiplied by x, which gives us a total cost of 1230x. Similarly, the cost of y coach tickets would be $240 multiplied by y, which gives us a total cost of 240y.

Since Sarah used her entire budget of $7350 for airfare, the total cost of the tickets she purchased must equal her budget. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

1230x + 240y = 7350

The problem states that a total of 10 people went on the trip, including Sarah. Since Sarah is one of the 10 people, the remaining 9 people would represent the sum of first-class and coach tickets. In other words:

x + y = 9

Now we have a system of two equations:

1230x + 240y = 7350 (Equation 1)

x + y = 9 (Equation 2)

We can solve this system of equations using various methods, such as substitution or elimination. Let's solve it using the elimination method.

To eliminate the y variable, we can multiply Equation 2 by 240:

240x + 240y = 2160 (Equation 3)

By subtracting Equation 3 from Equation 1, we eliminate the y variable:

1230x + 240y - (240x + 240y) = 7350 - 2160

Simplifying the equation:

990x = 5190

Dividing both sides of the equation by 990, we find:

x = 5190 / 990

x = 5.23

Since we can't have a fraction of a ticket, we need to consider the nearest whole number. In this case, x represents the number of first-class tickets, so we round down to 5.

Now we can substitute the value of x back into Equation 2 to find the value of y:

5 + y = 9

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

y = 9 - 5

y = 4

Therefore, Sarah bought 5 first-class tickets and 4 coach tickets within her budget.

The confidence interval indicates that we can be 90% confident that the true population mean difference in playtime between games AE and C falls between 0.24 and 0.76 hours.

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean difference between games AE and C (denoted as μAE-C), we can use the following formula:

Confidence Interval = (x(bar) AE - x(bar) C) ± Z × √(s²AE/nAE + s²C/nC)

Where:

x(bar) AE and x(bar) C are the sample means for games AE and C, respectively.

s²AE and s²C are the sample variances for games AE and C, respectively.

nAE and nC are the sample sizes for games AE and C, respectively.

Z is the critical value corresponding to the desired confidence level. For a 90% confidence level, Z is approximately 1.645.

Given the following information:

x(bar) AE = 3.6 hours

s²AE = 54 minutes = 0.9 hours (since 1 hour = 60 minutes)

nAE = 43

x(bar) C = 3.1 hours

s²C = (0.4 hours)² = 0.16 hours²

nC = 40

Substituting these values into the formula, we have:

Confidence Interval = (3.6 - 3.1) ± 1.645 × √(0.9/43 + 0.16/40)

Calculating the values inside the square root:

√(0.9/43 + 0.16/40) ≈ √(0.0209 + 0.004) ≈ √0.0249 ≈ 0.158

Substituting the values into the confidence interval formula:

Confidence Interval = 0.5 ± 1.645 × 0.158

Calculating the values inside the confidence interval:

1.645 × 0.158 ≈ 0.26

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean difference between games AE and C is:

(0.5 - 0.26, 0.5 + 0.26) = (0.24, 0.76)

The probability generating functions show that Sn follows a negative binomial distribution with parameters n and β. Expanding the generating function, we find that Gn(z) = E(z^Sn) = E(z^(N1+...+Nn)) = E(z^N1... z^Nn). The probability that Sn takes values less than 40 is approximately 0.0012. The probability that Sn is less than 40 is approximately 0.0012.

(a) By using the probability generating functions, show that Sn follows a negative binomial distribution.

Using probability generating functions, the generating function of Ni is given by:

G(z) = E(z^Ni) = Σ(z^ni * P(Ni=ni)),

where P(Ni=ni) = (1−β)^(ni−1) * β (for ni=1,2,3,...).

Therefore, the generating function of Sn is:

Gn(z) = E(z^Sn) = E(z^(N1+...+Nn)) = E(z^N1 ... z^Nn).

From independence, we have:

Gn(z) = G(z)^n = (β/(1−(1−β)z))^n.

Now we need to expand the generating function Gn(z) using the Binomial Theorem:

Gn(z) = (β/(1−(1−β)z))^n = β^n * (1−(1−β)z)^−n = Σ[k=0 to infinity] (β^n) * ((−1)^k) * binomial(−n,k) * (1−β)^k * z^k.

Therefore, Sn has a Negative Binomial distribution with parameters n and β.

(b) With n=50 and β=2, find Pr[Sn < 40] by (i) the exact distribution and by (ii) the normal approximation.

(i) Using the exact distribution:

The probability that Sn takes values less than 40 is:

Pr(S50<40) = Σ[k=0 to 39] (50+k−1 k) * (2/(2+1))^k * (1/3)^(50) ≈ 0.001340021.

(ii) Using the normal approximation:

The mean of Sn is μ = 50 * 2 = 100, and the variance of Sn is σ^2 = 50 * 2 * (1+2) = 300.

Therefore, Sn can be approximated by a Normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ^2:

Sn ~ N(100, 300).

We can standardize the value 40 using the normal distribution:

Z = (Sn − μ) / σ = (40 − 100) / √(300/50) = -3.08.

Using the standard normal distribution table, we find:

Pr(Sn<40) ≈ Pr(Z<−3.08) ≈ 0.0012.

So the probability that Sn is less than 40 is approximately 0.0012.

The statement P = NP^2 is currently unproven and remains an open question.

To prove that ab is odd if and only if a and b are both odd, we need to show two implications:

If a and b are both odd, then ab is odd.

If ab is odd, then a and b are both odd.

Proof:

If a and b are both odd, then we can express them as a = 2k + 1 and b = 2m + 1, where k and m are integers. Substituting these values into ab, we get:

ab = (2k + 1)(2m + 1) = 4km + 2k + 2m + 1 = 2(2km + k + m) + 1.

Since 2km + k + m is an integer, we can rewrite ab as ab = 2n + 1, where n = 2km + k + m. Therefore, ab is odd.

If ab is odd, we assume that either a or b is even. Without loss of generality, let's assume a is even and can be expressed as a = 2k, where k is an integer. Substituting this into ab, we have:

ab = (2k)b = 2(kb),

which is clearly an even number since kb is an integer. This contradicts the assumption that ab is odd. Therefore, a and b cannot be both even, meaning that a and b must be both odd.

Hence, we have proven that ab is odd if and only if a and b are both odd.

Regarding the statement P = NP^2, it is a conjecture in computer science known as the P vs NP problem. The statement asserts that if a problem's solution can be verified in polynomial time, then it can also be solved in polynomial time. However, it has not been proven or disproven yet.
