Chapter 4.2, Problem 24E
Set up and solve Exercises 23–29 by the simplex method.
Profit The Muro Manufacturing Company makes two kinds of plasma screen television sets. It produces the Flexscan set that sells for $350 profit and the Panoramic I that sells for $500 profit. On the assembly line, the Flexsean requires 5 hours, and the Panoramic I takes 7 hours. The cabinet shop spends 1 hour on the cabinet for the Flexscan and 2 hours on the cabinet for the Panoramic I Both sets require 4 hours for testing and packing. On a particular production run, the Muro Company has available 3600 work-hours on the assembly line. 900 work-hours in the cabinet shop, and 2600 work-hours in the testing and packing department. (See Exercise 10 in Section 3.3.)
(a) How many sets of each type should it produce lo make a maximum profit? What is the maximum profit?
(b) Find the values of any nonzero slack variables and describe what they tell you about any unused time.

2. Hypothesis Testing - Two Sample Means
A nutritionist is investigating the effect of two different diet programs, A and B, on weight loss. Two
independent samples of adults were randomly assigned to each diet for 12 weeks. The weight losses (in kg)
are normally distributed.
Sample A: n = 35, 4.8, s = 1.2
Sample B: n=40, 4.3, 8 = 1.0
Questions:
a) State the null and alternative hypotheses to test whether there is a significant difference in mean weight
loss between the two diet programs.
b) Perform a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level and interpret the result.
c) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference in means and interpret it.
d) Discuss assumptions of this test and explain how violations of these assumptions could impact the results.
1. Sampling Distribution and the Central Limit Theorem
A company produces batteries with a mean lifetime of 300 hours and a standard deviation of 50 hours. The lifetimes are not normally distributed—they are right-skewed due to some batteries lasting unusually long.
Suppose a quality control analyst selects a random sample of 64 batteries from a large production batch.
Questions:
a) Explain whether the distribution of sample means will be approximately normal. Justify your answer using the Central Limit Theorem.
b) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
c) What is the probability that the sample mean lifetime of the 64 batteries exceeds 310 hours?
d) Discuss how the sample size affects the shape and variability of the sampling distribution.

- Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a.
