Q5. (4 points) 20% of packets of a certain kind of cereal contain a free gift. Jane buys one packet
a week for 8 weeks. The number of free gifts that Jane receives is denoted by X . Assuming that
Janes 8 packets can be regarded as a random sample, find
1. P (X = 3),
2. P (X 3),
3. E (X).

Q6. (4 points) Suppose that the mean human IQ is 100, and the standard deviation is 15. Gracie,
a PKU student, has an IQ of 145, whats the percentage of population with a higher IQ than her?
(Please refer to the standard Normal distribution table attached to the last page of this section.)

Part 4

Q 1. The total cost of producing Q units of a commodity is

C(Q) = 2Q2 + 10Q + 32, Q > 0.
Average cost of producing Q units of the commodity is the total cost divided by the amount produced,
Q. Find the value of Q which minimizes the average cost.

Q 2. Find the local extrema of the following function, and clearly identify whether it is a maximum
or minimum or neither.
y = 32x x4

Q 3. A CEO of a Samsung Electronics wrote a contract with Haier for providing a factory device
that can use iron and nickel as the input. Iron and nickel combined, the machine requires 100 units
of input. Moreover, they cost (1 + x)2 and 4t2 where x is the amount of iron and t is that of nickel.
What is the Lagrangian of this problem?

Q 4. In the problem above, how much of each input, the CEO would want to buy in order to
minimize the production cost of the device?
