Bodybuilding Supplements Exercises 33-36 are based on the following data on four bodybuilding supplements. (Figures shown correspond to a single serving.)15
Creatine (grams) | L-Glutamine (grams) | BCAAs (grams) | Cost ($) | |
Xtend (SciVation) | 0 | 2.5 | 7 | 1.00 |
Gainz (MP Hardcore) | 2 | 3 | 6 | 1.10 |
Stronbgevity (Bill Phillips) | 2.5 | 1 | 0 | 1.20 |

Your friend’s new personal trainer suggests that she supplement with no more than 20 grams of creatine but at least 20 grams of L-glutamine and 42 grams of BCAAs each week. She is thinking of combining Xtend and Strongevity to create a week's supply that meets her new trainer's specifications.
a. Can she combine the products in such a way that the number of servings of Xtend exceeds that of Strongevity by as much as possible? If so, how many servings of each should she combine? If not, explain why not.
b. Can she combine the products in such a way that the number of servings of Strongevity exceeds that of Xtend by as much as possible? If so, how many servings of each should she combine? If not, explain why not.

- Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Ho: P1 P2 less than or equal to 0 Ha P1 P2 greater than 0 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? 1,435 1,750 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P1 = population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 = population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year Current year Previous Year .82 .05 p-value = .7997 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? .014 c.
