Question 1183271: Gemma's mother owns a manufacturing company that produces key rings. Last year, she collected data about the
number of key rings produced per day and the corresponding profit. The data can be modeled by the relation
𝑷 = βˆ’πŸπ’Œ^𝟐 + πŸπŸπ’Œ βˆ’ 𝟏𝟎, where 𝑷 is the profit in thousands of dollars and π’Œ is the number of key rings in
thousands. You must solve the following questions by factoring.
a) How many key rings must be produced so that there is no profit and no loss [𝑷 = 𝟎]?
b) How many key rings must be produced for the maximum profit?
c) What is the maximum profit?

Question 1183274: The standard test for the HIV virus is the ELISA test, which tests for the presence of HIV antibodies. If an individual does not have the HIV virus, the test will come back negative for the presence of HIV antibodies 99.7% of the time and will come back positive for the presence of HIV antibodies 0.3% of the time (a false positive). If an individual has the HIV virus, the test will come back positive 99.7% of the time and will come back negative 0.3% of the time (a false negative). Approximately 0.67% of the world population has the HIV virus. What is the probability that a randomly selected individual has the HIV virus if the test comes back positive?
