A cafeteria is trying to scale a small pancake recipe up in order to feed a group of tourists. The recipe feeds 6 people and the cafeteria is trying to feed 75. The recipe calls for 4 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of milk and ½ cup of sugar (as well as some other minor ingredients such as baking powder). a) One 10 pound bag of flour contains 38 cups of flour. Will it be enough for this recipe? Justify.

b) If one 10 pound bag of flour contains 38 cups of flour, how many pounds of flour will be needed for this recipe? Round to the nearest tenth of a pound.

c) If there are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon, will we need more or less than a gallon of milk for this recipe?

d) The cafeteria has a 1.5 kilogram bag of sugar. If a cup of sugar weighs 0.5 pounds and there are 2.2 pounds per kilogram, does the cafeteria have enough sugar to make this recipe?

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.
