Suppose that you have constructed a stem-and-leaf diagram and discover that it is only moderately useful because there are too few stems. How can you remedy the problem?
Suppose you work for Amazon Prime delivery services. You are assigned a new town to deliver packages to. You discover that the streets are small enough that you can throw the mail to each persons house on both sides of the street as you drive by. (You may not be the greatest mailman but you sure do finish everything pretty fast!) The photo attached is a representation of all the stops you must make. The locations marked with a red dot are those who have mail that needs to be delivered. You decide to complete all your deliveries as efficiently as possible today. To be most efficient you must drive past each delivery stop only once and you also decide to only drive down roads that have a delivery stop. You must start and end at the exact same spot (that way you can get back to your own car quickly).
(i) Is this a possible scenario for a route in which all your wants are met? Describe a route or prove a contradiction.
(ii) Unfortunately, as you make your way to the starting point you get…
The Phony TV company makes two different types of television sets,
OLED and LED, which are assembled by two different assembly lines.
When Line One operates it assembles 30 units of the OLED model
and 50 units of the LED model per hour. Line Two assembles 40 units
of the OLED model and 40 units of the LED model per hour. Let x
be the number of hours that Line One operates and y the number of
hours Line Two operates. Phony needs to produce at least 3000 units
of the OLED model and 4000 units of the LED model to fill an order.
(a) Write down the inequalities that describe the assembly constraints.
(b) Graph the feasible region determined by these constraints.
