The median number of telephone line in thousands is 0

The number of telephone lines in each country = 250000

From the given dot plot

The data set will be

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 250, 250, 250, 250, 250, 500, 750, 750, 1000, 1000, 1250, 1750

The median of the data set is the middle term of the ordered data set. The order of the data set maybe ascending or descending order

There are 28 terms in the data set the middle terms will be 14th and 15th

Both 4th and 15 terms are 0

Therefore, the median is 0

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation:

Let value intially be = P

Then it is decreased by 20 %.

So 20% of P = $\frac{20}{100} \times P = 0.2P$

So after 1 year value is decreased by 0.2P

so value after 1 year will be = P - 0.2P (as its decreased so we will subtract 0.2P from original value P) = 0.8P-------------------------------------(1)

Similarly for 2nd year, this value 0.8P will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of 0.8P = $\frac{20}{100} \times 0.8P = (0.2)(0.8P)$

So after 2 years value is decreased by (0.2)(0.8P)

so value after 2 years will be = 0.8P - 0.2(0.8P)

taking 0.8P common out we get 0.8P(1-0.2)

= 0.8P(0.8)

$=P(0.8)^{2}$ -------------------------(2)

Similarly after 3 years, this value $P(0.8)^{2}$ will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of $P(0.8)^{2} \frac{20}{100} \times P(0.8)^{2} = (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

So after 3 years value is decreased by $(0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

so value after 3 years will be = $P(0.8)^{2} - (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

taking $P(0.8)^{2}$ common out we get $P(0.8)^{2}(1-0.2)$

$P(0.8)^{2}(0.8)$

$P(0.8)^{3}$ -----------------------(3)

so from (1), (2), (3) we can see the following pattern

value after 1 year is P(0.8) or $P(0.8)^{1}$

value after 2 years is $P(0.8)^{2}$

value after 3 years is $P(0.8)^{3}$

so value after x years will be $P(0.8)^{x}$ ( whatever is the year, that is raised to power on 0.8)

So function is best described by exponential model

$y = P(0.8)^{x}$ where y is the value after x years

so thats the final answer

Elza [17]

Question:

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

What is the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders?.

Answer:

60 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of seats = 270

Occupied Seats = 5/9

Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats

Required

The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders

First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.

$Occupied\ Seats = \frac{5}{9} * 270$

$Occupied\ Seats = \frac{1350}{9}$

$Occupied\ Seats = 150$

Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

$Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats$

$Number = 40\%\ of\ 150$

Convert percentage to decimal

$Number = 0.4 * 150$

$Number = 60$

<em>Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.</em>
