A cookie company makes three kinds of cookies, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and shortbread, packaged in small, medium, and large boxes. The small box contains 1 dozen oatmeal raisin and 1 dozen chocolate chip; the medium box has 2 dozen oatmeal raisin, 1 dozen chocolate chip, and 1 dozen shortbread; the large box contains 2 dozen oatmeal raisin, 2 dozen chocolate chip, and 3 dozen shortbread. If you require exactly 15 dozen oatmeal raisin, 10 dozen chocolate chip, and 11 dozen shortbread, how many of each size box should you buy?

Angela and Bob Ray keep a large garden in which they grow cabbage, tomatoes, and onions to make two kinds of relish—chow-chow and tomato. The chow-chow is made primarily of cabbage, whereas the tomato relish has more tomatoes than does the chow-chow. Both relishes include onions, and negligible amounts of bell peppers and spices. A jar of chow-chow contains 8 ounces of cabbage, 3 ounces of tomatoes, and 3 ounces of onions, whereas a jar of tomato relish contains 6 ounces of tomatoes, 6 ounces of cabbage, and 2 ounces of onions. The Rays grow 120 pounds of cabbage, 90 pounds of tomatoes, and 45 pounds of onions each summer. The Rays can produce no more than 24 dozen jars of relish. They make $2.25 in profit from a jar of chow-chow and $1.95 in profit from a jar of tomato relish. The Rays want to know how many jars of each kind of relish to produce to generate the most profit.a.

The blue M&M was introduced in 1995. Before then, the color mix in a bag of plain M&Ms was (30% Brown, 20% Yellow, 20% Red, 10% Green, 10% Orange, 10% Tan). Afterward it was (24% Blue, 20% Green, 16% Orange, 14% Yellow, 13% Red, 13% Brown). A friend of mine has two bags of M&Ms, and he tells me that one is from 1994 and one from 1996. He won't tell me which is which, but he gives me one M&M from each bag. One is yellow and one is green. What is the probability that the yellow M&M came from the 1994 bag?

A Hippogriff is a magical beast that had the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of horse. It is very similar to another magical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. A slightly different breed of Hippogriffs, living in the Rathlin Island-the northernmost point in Northern Ireland, has an initial population of No. From that initial population count, it grew to 705 individuals after 28 years. After 28 more years, the population of hippogriffs in Rathlin Island rose to 2764 individuals. If the carrying capacity of Rathlin Island for this particular specie is 3000 individuals, and calculate for the initial population and the growth rate constant of the said species.

A famine relief effort is being mounted and there are three types of food bundles that can be flown out during each delivery. Bundle 1 has 4 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 12 litres of water. Bundle 2 has 12 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 4 litres of water and Bundle 3 has 8 kg. of flour, 8 kg. of sugar and 8 litres of water. The relief agency has 5200 kg. of flour, 3792 kg. of sugar and 6000 litres of water for each shipment. Bundle 1 can provide for 10 people between deliveries, Bundle 2 for 8 people and Bundle 3 for 11 people. How many bundles of each type should the relief agency send on each flight in order to maximize the number of people being fed. Do this problem by setting up a linear programming problem and determining the vertices of the feasibility set. Enter the number of bundles of types 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) into the answer box below, separated with commas.
The Cheery Cherry Chair Company makes three types of chairs, the Montegue, the Capulet, and the Verona. Each chair requires assembly, finishing, and a certain amount of wood to make. The assembly area can be used for at most 10 hours per day. To keep him busy, the finishing person needs to work at least 6 hours per day. Producing a Montegue requires 1 hour of assembly, 2 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Producing a Capulet requires 1 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Finally, producing a Verona requires 2 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 3 board feet of wood. If the company wants to minimize the amount of cherry wood used, how many should they make of each model? (It is possible to complete a fractional part a chair in a given day; in the long run you end up with completed chairs.) Number of Montegues = Number of Capulets = Number of Veronas = How many board feet of cherry wood would be used each day?
