You have just opened a new nightclub, Russ' Techno Pitstop, but are unsure of how high to set the cover charge (entrance fee). One week you charged $7 per guest and averaged 345 guests per night. The next week you charged $10 per guest and averaged 300 guests per night.
(a) Find a linear demand equation showing the number of guests q per night as a function of the cover charge p. q(p) =

(b) Find the nightly revenue R as a function of the cover charge p. R(p) =

(c) The club will provide two free non-alcoholic drinks for each guest, costing the club $2 per head. In addition, the nightly overheads (rent, salaries, dancers, DJ, etc.) amount to $2,000. Find the cost C as a function of the cover charge p. C(p) =

(d) Now find the profit in terms of the cover charge p. P(p) = Determine the entrance fee you should charge for a maximum profit. p = $ per guest

Answers

Answer 1

(a) The number of guest per night=p,

and the cover charge for one night per person=q.

Let the liner demand equation be [tex]q(p)=mp+c\cdots(i)[/tex],

where m and c are constants.

Given that for the first week: q=345 and p=$7 and

for the second night: q=300 and p=$10.

Put these values in equation (i), we have

345=7m+c

[tex]\Rigntarrow c=345-7m\cdots(ii)[/tex]

and

300=10m+c

[tex]\Rightarrow 300=10m+(345-7m)[/tex] [from equation (ii)]

[tex]\Rightarrow 3m=-45[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow m=-15[/tex]

and from equation (ii),

[tex]c=345-7\times(-15)=450[/tex].

Hence, the required demand equation is:

[tex]q(p)=-15p+450\cdots(iii)[/tex]

(b) Revenue = (Number of guests) x (Cover charge)

R=qp

[tex]\Rightarrow R(p)=(-15p+450)p[/tex] [from equation (iii)]

[tex]\Rightarrow R(p)=-15p^2+450p\;\cdots(iv)[/tex]

(c) The costs per night for drinks for the number of guest p is  $2p and the nightly overheads is $2000.

So, the required cost function is

[tex]C(p)=2p+2000\;\cdots(v)[/tex]

(d) Profit=(Revenue)-(Total costs)

i.e [tex]P(p)=R(p)-C(p)[/tex]

Using equations (iv) and (v), we have

[tex]\Rightarrow P(p)=(-15p^2+450p)-(2p+2000)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P(p)=-15p^2+448p-2000.[/tex]

Now we have the profit function as function of cover charge (entry fee) per person.

So, to get the maximum profit, P, differentiate the profit function with respect to the cover charge, q and equate it to zero to get the eqtremum point.

[tex]\frac {dP}{dq}=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow -30p+448=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow p=14.93[/tex]

This point is either maxima or minima, so differentiate the profit function twice to to ensure the value of p corrosponding to what.

[tex]\frac {d^2P}{dq^2}=-30[/tex]

This the second deravitive is negative, so p=14.93 is the value for maximum profit.

Hence, for the maximum profit, the cover charge per guest is $14.93.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Max = 18\ mins[/tex]

[tex]Min = 12\ mins[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Time = 15\ mins[/tex]

[tex]Variation = 3\ mins[/tex]

Required

Determine the max and min values

The max value is calculated as thus:

[tex]Max = Time + Variation[/tex]

[tex]Max = 15\ mins + 3\ mins[/tex]

[tex]Max = 18\ mins[/tex]

The min value is calculated as thus:

[tex]Min = Time - Variation[/tex]

[tex]Min = 15\ mins - 3\ mins[/tex]

[tex]Min = 12\ mins[/tex]

Cooper is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. He makes a base pay amount of $ 60 per day regardless of sales and he earns a commission of 1.5% of the dollar amount of all sales that he makes. Write an equation for P, in terms of x, representing Cooper's total pay on a day on which he sells z dollars worth of computers.

Answers

Answer:

P = 0.015x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cooper's base pay is $60, he would earn $60 even for selling $0 worth of computers, meaning P= 60 when x=0, which is the y-intercept.

(0,60) is a point on the graph

Since Cooper makes a commision of 1.5% for all sales, the amount of money earned in a given day increases $0.015 for each $1 of sales made (multiply 1 by 0.015). This means the slope of P is equal to 0.015.

Slope of x between (-3, -4) and (1, -3):

[tex] slope(m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-3 -(-4)}{1 -(-3)} = \frac{1}{4} = [/tex]

Slope of y between (-3, -4) and (-5, 4):

[tex] slope(m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4 -(-4)}{-5 -(-3)} = \frac{8}{-2} = -4 [/tex]

Slope of z between (1, -3) and (-1, 5)):

The height h and collar size c , both in centimeters, measured from a sample of boys were used to create the regression line cˆ=−94+0.9h . The line is used to predict collar size from height, both in centimeters, for boys’ shirt collars. Which of the following has no logical interpretation in context?

Answers

Answer:

The C=intercept of the regression line

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression line has a logical interpretation as the average rate of change in collar size for a 1cm increase in height.

A linear regression is represented as [tex]^\wedge y = mx + c[/tex]

The option that has no logical interpretation is: E The c-intercept of the regression line

From the question, we have:

[tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

Using the above representation of a regression line [tex]\wedge y = mx + c[/tex]

[tex]m \to[/tex] the slope

[tex]c \to[/tex] the y-intercept

By comparing [tex]\wedge y = mx + c[/tex] to  [tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

[tex]0.9 \to[/tex] slope

[tex]94 \to[/tex] the y-intercept

While [tex]^ \wedge c[/tex] and [tex]h[/tex] are the variables (i.e. collar size and height)

From the list of given options (see attachment), the option that has no logical interpretation is:

E. The c-intercept of the regression line

This is because c does not represent the intercept of [tex]^\wedge c = 94 + 0.9h[/tex]

Answers

Problem 1

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 5,5,3

--------------------

Explanation:

Take any two sides and add them up. If we get a sum larger than the third side, then a triangle is possible. This is the triangle inequality theorem.

5+5 = 10 is larger than 3

5+3 = 8 is larger than 5

This shows a triangle is possible. The triangle is isosceles because two sides are the same length.

==========================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Yes a triangle can be formed with side lengths 8,8,8

--------------------

Explanation:

This triangle is equilateral because all sides are the same length.

Take any two sides, add them up, and you'll find the sum is larger than the third side.

==========================================================

Problem 3

Answer: No a triangle cannot be formed with sides 7,8,15

--------------------

Explanation:

Yes it is true that

8+15 = 23 is larger than 7

7+15 = 22 is larger than 8

but

7+8 = 15 is not larger than 15

So this means a triangle is not possible.

Imagine you had 3 strips of paper that were 7 inches, 8 inches and 15 inches long. The 7 and 8 inch strips add to 15 inches, but those two smaller strips only form a straight line. We cannot pull them so a triangle forms. If we did, then the third side would be smaller than 15 inches. This is one way to get hands on to see why the triangle inequality theorem works.

==========================================================

Problem 4

Answer: Yes a triangle is possible with side lengths 5,6,10

--------------------

Explanation:

Same idea as before. We can take any two sides, add them, and get a sum larger than the third side. A triangle is possible.

5+6 = 11 is larger than 106+10 = 16 is larger than 55+10 = 15 is larger than 6
