- Give an example from your life using the phrase ‘at least’.arrow_forwardCholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardSome jobs involve earning a commission on sales.

The accompanying data show the amount spent by a random sample of holiday shoppers during the same weekend in 2017. Complete parts a through c.arrow_forwardRecall the golf tournament example where the weather for the tournament is classified as “good”, “fair”, or “bad”. Further recall that the weather is “good” 60% of the time, and “fair” 30% of the time. Suppose spectator attendance will be 100,000 if the weather is “good”, 70,000 if the weather is “fair”, and 30,000 if the weather is “bad”. On average, how many spectators will attend? Determine the variance and standard deviation for the number of spectators.arrow_forward
- Please do not give solution in image format thanku To help plan the number of meals to be prepared in a college cafeteria, a survey was conducted, and the following data were obtained: 132 students ate breakfast. 182 students ate lunch. 279 students ate dinner. 68 students ate breakfast and lunch. 112 students ate breakfast and dinner. 91 students ate lunch and dinner. 59 students ate all three meals. How many of the students ate exactly two meals in the cafeteria?arrow_forwardAtlanta Airlines routinely overbooks its flight from At- lanta to Boston. Overbooking discounted seats can be expensive because providing a bumped passenger with a last-minute flight on a competing carrier can cost $450. A 120-passenger jet costs about $6000 to operate from Atlanta to Boston. The average ticket price is $300. a. Given the frequency of no-shows in the following table, how many seats should be overbooked? b. Atlanta Air offers special rates on its Atlanta/Boston route for the holidays. How would a $200 ticket price af- fect the number of seats overbooked?arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku. A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consulting trips to Washington, D.C.; 60% of the time she travels on airline #1, 20% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline #1, flights are late into D.C. 40% of the time and late into L.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentages are 30% and 25%, whereas for airline #3 the percentages are 20% and 10%. If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, what are the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines #1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.arrow_forward
