- QUESTION 3 A wholesaler must decide how many computers to purchase before they know how many they will be able to sell to local retailers. The wholesaler purchases the computers for S300 each and sells them to retailers for $350 each. If the wholesaler is not able to sell them to a retailer then the wholesaler can return them to the manufacturer (for a refund of the S300 cost), but the wholesaler must pay $40 per computer that it returns to the manufacturer (in shipping, handling, and insurance costs). The following probability distribution describes the number of computers the wholesaler may possibly sell to local retailers: there is a 21% chance that they will sell 900 computers, a 56% chance that they will sell 1200 computers; otherwise, they will sell 1500 computers.

This function would have the form f(x)={g(x)h(x)ififx∈Ax∈Bf(x)={g(x)ifx∈Ah(x)ifx∈B What functions g(x)g(x) and h(x)h(x) make up the piecewise function f(x)f(x)? g(x)=g(x)= for A = h(x)=h(x)= for B = Hint: A and B are intervals. If an interval uses ±∞±∞ write inf or -inf . (c) Using the above function, what is the cost of 26 kWh? dollars. (d) For 3 dollars, what is the maximum kWh usage for one…arrow_forward
- The line graphs in Figure show the percentages of marriages ending in divorce based on the wife’s age at marriage.Here are two mathematical models that approximate the data displayed by the line graphs:In each model, the variable n is the number of years after marriage and the variable d is the percentage of marriages ending in divorce.a. Use the appropriate formula to determine the percentage of marriagesending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time ofmarriage.b. Use the appropriate line graph in Figure to determine the percentageof marriages ending in divorce after 10 years when the wife is over 25 at the time of marriage.c. Does the value given by the mathematical model underestimate or overestimate the actual percentage of marriages ending in divorce after10 years as shown by the graph? By how much?arrow_forwardQUESTION 5 A hardware store sells hammers and screwdrivers. The hammers cost $19 each and the screwdrivers cost $16 each. On a certain day, the store sells twice as many hammers as screwdrivers. If the store sold $162 worth of these items on that day, how many hammers did they sell?arrow_forwardDespite booming new car sales with their cha-ching sounds, the average age of vehicles on roads is not going down. The bar graph shows the average price of new cars in Country A and the average age of cars on roads for two selected years. In 2014, the average price of a new car was $37,600. For the period shown, new-car prices increased by approximately $1250 per year. If this trend continues, how many years after 2014 will the price of a new car average $43,850? In which year will this occur?arrow_forward
