Consider the type of clothes dryer (gas or electric) purchased
by each of five different customers at a certain store.
(a)If the probability that at most one of these purchases an
electric dryer is 0.421, what is the probability that at least two
purchase an electric dryer?
(b)If P(all five purchase gas) = 0.119 and

The John Deere Company has found that the revenue from sales of
heavy-duty tractors is a function of the unit price p that it
charges. If the revenue R is R(p) = –
0.5p2 + 1900p , what unit price p should be
charged to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue? What
recommendations would you give the John Deere Company?

Imagine an economy makes only clothes (QC) and food (QF) and has
two inputs of production: Labor (L) and Capital (K). It takes 4
units of capital and 1 unit of labor to make one unit of clothing.
It takes 1 unit of capital and 1 unit of labor to make one unit of
food. There is no substitutability between the two inputs.
Hint: the total cost of production, TC, is equal to the
wL+rK. You can think of L...
