imaterials iused iin ione ishirt icost i$8, iand iGina ican isell ithese ifor i$15 ieach.




(a) How imany ishirts imust iGina isell ito ibreak ieven?

(b) What iis ithe itotal irevenue ifor ithis?

Mark iyour ianswer icarefully. iPartial icredit iwill ibe iawarded ieither ipart-a ior ipart-bianswer
icorrectly iand ifull icredit iif iboth iparts iare ianswered icorrectly




Selectedi
Answer:
Part-a) i50 iand iPart-b) i750

f i = i 350 s i = i 15 v i = i8

Responsei f i = i 350 s i = i 15 v i = i8
Feedback: a) iBEP i = if/(s i − iv) i = i350/(15 i − i8) i = i50 iunits
b)Total irevenue = 50(15) = $750

If iGina isells i20 ishirts, iwhat iwill iher itotal irevenue ibe? iWhatiwill
iher itotal ivariable icost ibe?


c) iTotal irevenue i = i20(15) i = i$300
id))Total ivariable icost i = i20(8) i = i$160

Part-a) iBEP i= i25 i Part-b) iBEP i= i18.33

Responsei a) i f i = i 300 i + i 75 i =
Feedback: i375 s i = i 20 iv i = i 5
BEP i = if/(s i– iv) i = i375/(20 i–

, BEP i = if/(s i − iv) i = i275/(20 i − i5) i =

Which iof ithe ifollowing iis ia irequired icondition ifor ia idiscrete iprobability ifunction?

, D. i∑p(x) i= i1 ifor iall ivalues iof ix

5 ipoints
QU iE STION i 2

Assume iyou ihave iapplied ifor itwo ischolarships, ia iMerit ischolarship i(M) iand ian
iAthleticischolarship i(A). iThe iprobability ithat iyou ireceive ian iAthletic ischolarship iis i0.18. iThe
iprobability iof ireceiving iboth ischolarships iis i0.11. iThe iprobability iof igetting iat ileast ione iof

ithe ischolarships iis i0.3.


a). Are ievents iA iand iM imutually iexclusive? iWhy ior iwhy inot?

Two ievents iare isaid ito ibe imutually iexclusive iif ithe ievents ihave ino isample ipoints iin
icommon.iThat iis, itwo ievents iare imutually iexclusive iif, iwhen ione ievent ioccurs, ithe iother

icannot ioccuri(i.e. iP(MA) i= i0)




P(A iM) i =.3 i ≠ i 1 i and i P(A i ∩ i M) i =.11 i ≠ i 0 i A i and i M i are i not i mutually i exclusive.

b). Are ithe itwo ievents iA, iand iM, iindependent? iWhy ior iwhy

not?iTwo ievents iA iand iB iare isaid ito ibe iindependent iif iand

only iif:

P(A i∩ iM)P(A|B)
i=.11 i= iP(A) ior,P(A)
iequivalently,
iP i(M) i=.18 ix.P(B|A) i= iP(B)
i23 i= i.0414 i≠ iP(A i ∩ iM)




Therefore, iA iand iM iare inot iindependent.
