67. Break-Even The total revenue function for French door refrigerators is given by R = 550x dollars, and the total cost function for this same product is given by C = 10,000 + 30x + x2, where C is measured in dollars. For both functions, the input x is the number of refrigerators produced and sold.
a. Form the profit function for the refrigerators from the two given functions.
b. What is the profit when 18 refrigerators are produced and sold?
c. What is the profit when 32 refrigerators are produced and sold?
d. How many refrigerators must be sold to break even on this product?

Find the probability of selecting a 1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15 1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15 1-foot sections of new fabricarrow_forwardEach of the following statements is an attempt to show that a given series is convergent or divergent using the Comparison Test (NOT the Limit Comparison Test.) For each statement, enter C (for "correct") if the argument is valid, or enter | (for "incorrect") if any part of the argument is flawed. (Note: if the conclusion is true but the argument that led to it was wrong, you must enter I.) ☐ 1. For all n > 1, seriesΣ In(n) In(n) converges. 2, 1, arctan(n) the series arctan(n) n³ ☐ 4.
