B. $381.00 D. $342.99
2. Find result of performing row operation 0.5
3. Customers shopping at a particular supermarket spend a mean time shopping of 47 minutes,
with a standard deviation of 11 minutes. Assuming a normal distribution, what is the probability
that a randomly chosen customer will spend between 36 and 58 minutes shopping in the
supermarket?
A. 0.3413 C. 0.6826
B. 0.9544 D. 0.7580
4. Find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function P = 9x + 5y for the feasible
region shown below.
A. (x, y) = (10, 0)
B. (x, y) = (8, 10)
C. (x, y) = (5, 15)
D. (x, y) = (0, 20)
5. Two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 2 red and 5 white balls. The balls
are drawn without replacement. What is the probability that both balls drawn are red?
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 6. ______
A. If all of the data values in a data set are identical, then the standard deviation is 0.
B. The variance can be a negative number.
C. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
D. The variance is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a distribution about its mean.
7. If K = {3, 7, 11, 15} and M = {7, 12, 15, 18}, list
8. Determine which shaded region corresponds to the solution region of the system of linear
inequalities:
9 – 10. At Burger Heaven a “double” contains 2 meat patties and 6 pickles, whereas a “triple”
contains (wait for it!) 3 meat patties and 3 pickles. Near closing time one day, only 24 meat
patties and 48 pickles are available. If a “double” sells for $1.50 and a “triple” sells for $2.00,
then how many of each should be made in order to maximize profit? Let x represent number of
“double” burgers and y represent number of “triple” burgers.
9. Identify the production constraint for meat patties:
A. 6
