Bakery has bought 250 pounds of muffin dough. they want to make waffles or muffins in half-dozen packs out of it. half a dozen of muffins requires 1 lb of dough and a pack of waffles uses 3/4 lb of dough. it take bakers 6 minutes to make a half-dozen of waffles and 3 minutes to make a half-dozen of muffins. their profit will be $1.50 on each pack of waffles and $2.00 on each pack of muffins. how many of each should they make to maximize profit, if they have just 20 hours to do everything?

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)

The average u.s. household has $178,600 in life insurance. the standard deviation is $25,500. a local insurance agent would like to see how households in his city compare to the national average, and selects a simple random sample of 30 households from the city. for the households in the city, the average amount of life insurance is $188,800. a. based on the sample results, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true average amount of life insurance for households in the city. b. test the h0 : $178,600 ? ? to determine if the city's sample average is significantly different from the u.s. average amount of life insurance per household. use the conventional levels of significance.
