Three students answer a true-false question on a test randomly. A random variable x represents the number of answers of true among the three students, taking on the value 0, 1, 2, or 3.
(a) Find the frequency distribution for x.
(b) Find the probability distribution for x.
For the same random variable x as the previous problem, find the following:

The business manager of a 90 unit apartment building is trying to determine the rent to be charged. From past experience with similar buildings, when rent is set at $400, all the units are full. For every $20 increase in rent, one additional unit remains vacant. What rent should be charged for maximum total revenue? What is that maximum total revenue? To help solve the above scenario, perform an internet search for Profit Parabola or Applications of Quadratic Functions. List the URL of one of the applications that you find.

Go to http://www.purplemath.com/modules/quadprob3.htm to see the process used for determining the quadratic function for revenues R(x) as a function of price hikes x on page 3 with the canoe-rental business problem. Use this process to determine the quadratic function that models the revenues R(x) as a function of price hikes x in the apartment building scenario above.
