Question 1201131: Formulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve.
A private investment club has $400,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium-risk stocks, 10%/year; and low-risk stocks, 6%/year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $40,000/year on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment is invested.)
high-risk stocks $
medium-risk stocks $

Question 938535: Hello, I am having issues with my system of equations homework. I was wondering of you could help me. I generally know how to solve them but I cannot get mine to turn out.
The system is:
x+y+z+w=6
2x+3y-w=0
-3x+4y+z+2w=4
x+2y-z+w=0
Thanks in advance! :)

Question 1165132: Prose rhythm is characterized as the occurrence of five-syllable sequences in long passages of text. This characterization may be used to assess the similarity among passages of text and sometimes the identity of authors. The following information is based on an article by D. Wishart and S. V. Leach appearing in Computer Studies of the Humanities and Verbal Behavior (Vol. 3, pp. 90-99). Syllables were categorized as long or short. On analyzing Plato's Republic, Wishart and Leach found that about 26.1% of the five-syllable sequences are of the type in which two are short and three are long. Suppose that Greek archaeologists have found an ancient manuscript dating back to Plato's time (about 427 - 347 B.C.). A random sample of 317 five-syllable sequences from the newly discovered manuscript showed that 61 are of the type two short and three long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five syllable sequence is different (either way) from the text of Plato's Republic? Use α = 0.01.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic.

Question 1165134: Let x be a random variable representing dividend yield of bank stocks. We may assume that x has a normal distribution with σ = 2.6%. A random sample of 10 bank stocks gave the following yields (in percents).
5.7 4.8 6.0 4.9 4.0 3.4 6.5 7.1 5.3 6.1
The sample mean is x bar = 5.38%. Suppose that for the entire stock market, the mean dividend yield is μ = 4.9%. Do these data indicate that the dividend yield of all bank stocks is higher than 4.9%? Use α = 0.01.
Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

Question 1165202: Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna). (Reference: Hummingbirds, K. Long, W. Alther.) Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows.
3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1
The sample mean is x bar = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 0.64 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is μ = 4.30 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.30 grams? Use α = 0.10

Question 1178476: According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating
and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE), a nonsmoking classroom
should have a ventilation rate of 15 ft3 per min for each person in the room.
(a) Write an equation that models the total ventilation V (in cubic feet per hour)
necessary for a classroom with x students.
(b) A common unit of ventilation is air change per hour (ach). One ach is equivalent
to exchanging all the air in a room every hour. If x students are in a classroom
having volume 15,000 ft3, determine how many air exchanges per hour (A) are
necessary to keep the room properly ventilated.
(c) Find the necessary number of ach (A) if the classroom has 40 students in it.
(d) In areas like bars and lounges that allow smoking, the ventilation rate should
be increased to 50 ft3 per min per person. Compared to classrooms, ventilation
should be increased by what factor in heavy smoking areas?

Question 1184642: A landscaping supply company produces decorative stones. A ton of coarse stones requires 2 hours ofcrushing, 5 hours of sifting, and 8 hours of drying. A ton of fine stones requires 6 hours of crushing, 3hours of sifting, and 2 hours of drying. The coarse stones sell for$400 per ton. The fine stones sell for$500per ton. In a work week, the plant is capable of 36 hours of crushing, 30 hours of sifting, and 40 hours ofdrying. Based on the demand forecast, the quantity of coarse stones produced should be at least twice thequantity of fine stones produced.
First
1. Formulate an optimization model to decide how much of each kind of stones to produce to maximizetotal revenue.
2. Solve your model using the Excel solver.
3. Using a two-dimensional plot, solve your model graphically.
Then, by modifying your two-dimensional plot, answer the following questions:
4. How much would it be worth to get another hour of crushing time?
5. How much would it be worth to get another hour of sifting time?
6. Could you find the range of the prices for the fine stones such that in the optimal solution, thequantity of coarse stones produced is exactly twice the quantity of fine stones produced.
