Determine the number of boxes of each assortment that will maximize profits for Big Round Cheese Company given the initial and final tableaux: x y u v M 7 2 1 0 0 7 31 31 x y u vM 2 5 5 2 1 0 0 45 0 1 0 5 31 31 2 7 0 1 0 49 26 28 -6 -8 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 82 31 31 (initial) (final) Here, x = the number of Holiday boxes per day and y = the number of Noel boxes per day. One day Big Round gets a total of 80 pounds of Brie. How should the production schedule change to maximize profit? What is the new profit? Answer: x = 5, y = 10, M = $110 110) A furniture manufacturer makes TV tables and bookcases in the same workshop. Each item brings in a profit of $18.

Solve the problem. 224) A person claims to have E.S.P. (extrasensory perception). A card is drawn from the following cards 192 times.
The person identified the chosen card correctly 56 times. Does the result of this experiment support the person's claim that he has E.S.P.? Explain. Answer: If the person is guessing, the probability that he correctly identifies at least 56 cards correctly is approximately 0.1056. It is unlikely that the person can guess correctly at least 56 times. The result of the experiment supports the person's claim. 225) Suppose that a fair coin is tossed 100 times.
