Suppose that it is known that the number of items produced in a factory during a week is a random variable with mean 50. If the standard deviation of a week's production is 5, then what can be said about the probability that this week's production will be between 40 and 60?

Suppose that output q represents the number of products produced,K is the number of machines used, and L the number of workers used. To produce one unit of q, one must can use 1 machine OR 4 workers. The cost of a unit of K is r= 100, and the cost of a unit of L is w= 20:First, draw the isoquant for q= 10. Next, draw the isocost line for C= $2000.Using your isocost-isoquant diagram, identify the cost-minimizing number...

Consider a large clothing shop in Sydney. Suppose it is known that the number of business suits sold per day is normally distributed with a mean, μ = 22 and standard deviation, σ = 10.  Mr Wood is employed to sell business suits. The number of business suits he sells each day for 35 days is recorded and the mean number per day calculated. What is the probability that Mr Wood's average daily sales will be more than 26 business suits?  (4...
