Una compañía sabe que si produce "x" unidades mensuales su utilidad "u" se podría calcular con la expresión: u(x)=-0.04x^2+44x-4000 donde "u" se expresa en dólares. Determine la razón del cambio promedio de la utilidad cuando el nivel de producción cambia de 600 a 620 unidades mensuales. Recuerde que la pendiente de la recta secante a la gráfica de la función representa a la razón de cambio promedio.

The ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month is -24 : 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

A company knows that if it produces "x" monthly units its utility "u" could be calculated with the expression: u (x) = - 0.04x ^ 2 + 44x-4000 where "u" is expressed in dollars. Determine the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month. Remember that the slope of the secant line to the graph of the function represents the average rate of change.

Solution:

The expression for the utility is:

It is provided that the slope of the secant line to the graph of the function represents the average rate of change.

Then the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes is:

Compute the values of u (x₁) and u (x₂) as follows:

x₁ = 600

x₂ = 620

Compute the average rate of change as follows:

Thus, the ratio of the average change in profit when the level of production changes from 600 to 620 units per month is -24 : 5.

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
