a) Use confidence intervals to interpret the following statement and apply the result to a graduating class of 1400 students.
In a recent survey, 72% of post-secondary graduates indicated that they expected to earn at least $6000/month by the time they were ready to retire. The survey is considered accurate within ±5.2%, 19 times in 20.
b) How could they increase the confidence level of their result?

Four teams are travelling to a lacrosse tournament in cars and minivans.
• Each team has no more than 2 coaches and 13 athletes.
• Each car can take 4 team members, and each minivan can take 7 team members.
• No more than 5 minivans and 8 cars are available. The school wants to know the combination of cars and minivans that will require the maximum number of vehicles. Create and verify a model to represent this situation.
a) Use the optimization model to determine the combination of cars and minivans that will use the maximum number of vehicles.
b) How many team members can travel in the maximum number of vehicles?
Optimization Model
Let V represent the total number of vehicles.
Let c represent the number of cars.
Let m represent the number of minivans.
Restrictions:
c Î W, m Î W
Constraints:
c pr024-1.jpg 0
m pr024-2.jpg 0
4c + 7m pr024-3.jpg 60
c pr024-4.jpg 8

 25. 

The stylists in a hair salon cut hair for women and men.
• The salon books at least 3 women’s appointments for every man’s appointment.
• Usually there are 120 or more appointments, in total, during a week.
• The salon is trying to reduce the number of hours the stylists work.
• A woman’s cut takes about 60 min, and a man’s cut takes about 25 min.
What combination of women’s and men’s appointments would minimize the number of hours the stylists work? How many hours would this be?
