A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 20 toasters are randomly selected, find appropriate numbers x and y such that
a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.5;
(b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.8.
Philip, who teaches 6-year-olds, believes that educational television programs promote reading ability in young children. He announces his idea to his students and their parents. Some parents respond enthusiastically when he asks for volunteers to participate in a three-month experiment to test his hypothesis. Ten volunteers are assigned to the experimental group and instructed to have their children watch a one-hour educational program each day after school. The parents of 10 other students, who are picked at random from the remaining members of the class, receive the same instructions, except that the program they watch is a one-hour non-educational cartoon. After the three-month period, Philip administers a standardized reading test to both groups. He is delighted to find that the average test score of the students in the experimental group is substantially higher than that of the students in the comparison group.
2. What is Philip’s hypothesis?

QUESTION THREE
A poultry farmer in Lufyanyama has obtained a loan from the Bank to boost his poultry
business. He provides you with data to help him optimize the sales. The data is that Old
hens can be bought for K2 each but young one cost K5 each. The old hens lay 3 eggs
per week and young ones 5 eggs per week, each egg being worth 30ngwee. A hen cost
K1 per week to feed. If a person has only K80 to spend on hens, how many of each kind
should he buy to get a profit of more than K6 per week assuming that he can’t house
more than 20 hens?
a)Formulate the problem as a linear programming model [8 Marks]
b)Using the graphical method procedure, how many hens should he buy of each kind to
maximize the profit per week? [10 Marks]
c) Determine the ranges of optimality for the objective function coefficients
