A gardening company sells clay flower pots and plastic flower pots. There must be
at least 2 pots in each shipment, but there cannot be more than 8 in a shipment.
Additionally, the shipment must weigh less than 100 pounds. Each shipment container
weighs 20 pounds, and there is 1 pound of packing material. A clay flower pot weighs
15 pounds, whereas a plastic flower pot weighs 7.5 pounds.
(a) Write a system of inequalities that represents the constraints on the number of pots
that can be included in one shipment.
(b) Suppose that Horace wanted to buy 2 clay pots and 5 plastic pots. Would he be able to get all the pots in one shipment? Explain how you determined your answer.
(c) Suppose that Jaleesa wanted to buy 4 clay pots and 4 plastic pots. Would she be able to get all pots in one shipment? Explain how you determined your answer.
(d) The company wants to fill each shipment as full as it can get when they send shipments to garden supply stores. There id similar demand for each type of pot. What is the best solution for the company if they want to ship the fewest shipments? Justify your reasoning.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
