A weight lifter wants to mix two types of protein powder. One is a whey protein and one is a soy protein. The fat, carbohydrate, and protein content (in grams) for I scoop of each powder is given in the table.
Fat | Carbohydrates | Protein | |
---|---|---|---|
Whey | 3 g | 3 g | 20 g |
Soy | 2 g | 4 g | 18 g |
Suppose that the weight lifter wants to make at most 60 scoops of a protein powder mixture. Furthermore, he wants to limit the total fat content to at most 150 g and the total carbohydrate content to at most 216 g.
a. Determine the number of scopes of each type of powder that will maximize the total protein content under these constraints.
b. What is the maximum total protein content?
c. If the protein content were reversed between the two brands (that is, 18 g for the whey protein and 20 g for the soy protein), then how much of each type of protein powder should be used to maximize the amount of protein?

- The quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another?
