- Satellite Television: Two competing companies offer satellite television to a city with 100,000 households. Gold Satellite System has 25,000 subscribers and Galaxy Satellite Network has 30,000 subscribers. (The other 45,000 households do not subscribe.) The matrix shows the percent changes in satellite subscriptions each year.

Explain how you obtained your answer. (b) Find the number of subscribers each company will have in 2 years using matrix multiplication. Explain how you obtained your answer. (c) Find the number of subscribers each company will have in 3 years using matrix multiplication. Explain how you obtained your answer.

What is happening to the number of nonsubscribers?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_forwardMotion Picture Industry The motion picture industry is a competitive business. More than 50 studios produce a total of 300 to 400 new motion pictures each yea1 and the financial success of each motion picture varies considerably. The opening weekend gross sales ($millions), the total gross sales ($millions). the number of theaters the movie was shown in. and the number of weeks the motion picture was in release are common variables used to measure the success of a motion picture. Data collected for the top 100 motion pictures produced in 2011 are contained in the file named 2011 Movies (Box Office Mojo. March 17,2012).Table 2.20 shows the data for the first 10 motion pictures in this file. Managerial Report Use the tabular and graphical methods of descriptive statistics to learn how these variables contribute to the success of a motion picture.

- A social media app is conducting a study on the amount of time users spend on the app. They collect the following variables. Age Years: How old they are in years? Income: Monthly Income Location: What country do they live in? Device: Do they use an iPhone, Samsung, other? Service: Who provides their mobile phone service? For example: T-Mobile, At&t, Verizon, ect Hours: How many hours do they spend on the app per week. A) Which variable could the research construct a one proportion z-interval for? B) The social media app just launched a new algorithm that suggest content in an effort to increase the amount of time the user spends on the app. The researchers want to use the survey results to see if there is statistically significant evidence that on average users spend more than 10 hours per week on the social media app. The researchers found in their sample of 44 users, the mean hours spent on the app is 10.5 hours with a standard deviation of 5.675 hours.

The dataset includes information for all players who averaged more than 24 minutes per game (n = 182) and 25 variables, including Age, Points (number of points for the season per game), FTPct (free throw shooting percentage), Rebounds (number of rebounds for the season), and Steals (number of steals for the season). A correlation matrix for these five variables is shown. A correlation matrix allows us to see lots of correlations at once, between many pairs of variables. For any pair of variables (indicated by the row and the column), we are given two values: the correlation as the top number and the p-value for a two-tail test of the correlation right beneath it.

- A company produces handmade shawls and afghans. They spin the yarn, dye it, and then weave it. A shawl requires 1 hour of spinning, 1 hour of dyeing, and 1 hour of weaving. An afghan requires 1 hour of spinning, 2 hours of dyeing, and 4 hours of weaving. There are at most 8 hours available each day for spinning, 10 hours for dyeing, and 16 hours for weaving. Summarize the data in a table. Use the table to write a system of inequalities. Then graph the feasible region. Complete the table.

More than 50 studios produce a a to- tal of 300 to 400 new motion pictures each year, and the financial success of each motion picture varies considerably. The opening weekend gross sales, the total gross sales, the number of theaters the movie was shown in, and the number of weeks the motion picture was in the top 60 for gross sales are common variables used to measure the success of a motion picture.
