A manufacturing company finds that they can sell 625 items at $ 1.50 per item and 400 items at $ 3.00 per item. If the relationship between the number of items sold x and the price per item p is a linear one: Find a formula that gives x in terms of p : x =

Now use the formula to find the number of items they will sell if the price per item is$ 2.00. They will sell ___ items if the price is $ 2.00.

At the "no mutants allowed" country farm, every sheep has 4 legs, every chicken has two legs, and all animals have only 1 head. asked to count how many sheep and chicken are in the fields, a farm boy reports back that there are 140 feet and 50 heads. how many sheep and chicken are there? there are sheep and chicken at the farm.

Which equation represents a direct linear variationa. y=x2b. y=2/5xc. y=1/xd. y=x+3

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
