7. Solve using the graphical method. Choose your variables, write the objective function and the constraints, graph the constraints, shade the feasibility region, label all corner points, and determine the solution that optimizes the objective function.
Dr. Lum teaches part-time at two different community colleges, Hilltop College and Serra College. Dr. Lum can teach up to 5 classes per semester. For every class taught by him at Hilltop College, he needs to spend 3 hours per week preparing lessons and grading papers, and for each class at Serra College, he must do 4 hours of work per week. He has determined that he cannot spend more than 18 hours per week preparing lessons and grading papers. If he earns $4,000 per class at Hilltop College and $5,000 per class at Serra College, how many classes should he teach at each college to maximize his income, and what will be his income?
8. * Use a tree diagram solving this problem:
The Long Life Light Bulbs claims that the probability that a light bulb will go out when first used is 15%, but if it does not go out on the first use the probability that it will last the first year is 95%, and if it lasts the first year, there is a 90% probability that it will last two years. What is the probability that a new bulb will last two years?
9. Do this problem using the expected value concepts.
During her four years at college, Niki received A's in 30% of her courses, B's in 60% of her courses, and C's in the remaining 10%. If A=4, B=3, and C=2, find her grade point average.
10. John's probability of passing statistics is 40%, and Linda's probability of passing the same course is 70%. If the two events are independent, find the following probabilities.
1. P(both of them will pass statistics)
1. P(at least one of them will pass statistics)
11. CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY
Do this problem using the conditional probability formula: P(A∣B)=P(A∩B)P(B).
At De Anza College, 20% of the students take Finite Math, 30% take History, and 5% take both Finite Math and History. If a student is chosen at random, find the following conditional probabilities.
1. Student is taking Finite Math given that said student is taking History.
1. Srudent is taking History given that said student is taking Finite Math.
12. MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS AND THE ADDITION RULE
Determine whether the following pair of events are mutually exclusive.
1. A = {A person earns more than $25,000} B = {A person earns less than $20,000}
1. A card is drawn from a deck: C = {It is a King} D = {It is a heart}
1. A single, fair, 6-sided die is rolled: E = {An even number shows} F = {A number greater than 3 shows}
13. A jar contains four marbles numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. If two marbles are drawn, find the following probabilities.
a. P (the sum of the number is 5)
b. P (the sum of the numbers is odd)
c. P (the sum of the numbers is 9)
d. P (one of the numbers is 3)

16. *Solve the given linear programming problem graphically:
Nutrition: A dietitian is to prepare two foods to meet certain requirements. Each pound of Food I contains 100 units of vitamin C, 40 units of vitamin D, and 10 units of vitamin E and costs 20 cents. Each pound of Food II contains 10 units of vitamin C, 80 units of vitamin D, and 5 units of vitamin E and costs 15 cents. The mixture of the two foods is to contain at least 260 units of vitamin C, at least 320 units of vitamin D, and at least 50 units of vitamin E. How many pounds of each type of food should be used to minimize the cost?
