Concept explainers
For the daily output of an industrial operation, let Y1 denote the amount of sales and Y2, the costs, in thousands of dollars. Assume that the density
The daily profit is given by U = Y1 − Y2.
a Find E(U).
b Assuming that Y1 and Y2 are independent, find V(U).

- A soda can has a volume of 25 cubic inches. Let x denote its radius and h its height, both in inches. a. Using the fact that the volume of the can is 25 cubic inches, express h in terms of x. b. Express the total surface area S of the can in terms of x.arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forward
