The cruise boat can carry up to 45 passengers. The company wants to know the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise to c

over its costs. This number is called the break-even point. A formula for calculating the break-even point is: Break-even point = (fixed costs) ÷ (income per passenger – costs per passenger) The company collects the following data:
Fixed cost (per cruise)
CREW SALARY $350
FUEL $120
OVERHEADS $170

Varible costs( per passenger)
REFRESHMENTS $6.50
REFUND $3.64

SALES INCOME (PER PASSENGER)
AVERAGE TICKET INCOME $36.40

Based on this data, what is the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit?

Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.

Martin is interested in the effects of different kinds of instruction on videogame performance. Martin asks 30 college freshmen
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Between - groups variance

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we see that the college freshmen are assigned to one of the three given groups. This means that they are exposed to different experimental conditions and thus it means that the variation differs as a result of different experimental conditions between the groups.

Thus, these differences reflect between - group variance.

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3).
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

An equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3) will be:

y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-4,1)
  • (4,3)

Finding the slope between the points (-4,1) and (4,3)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:3\right)

m=\frac{3-1}{4-\left(-4\right)}

Refine

m=\frac{1}{4}

Point slope form:

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • (x₁, y₁) is the point

in our case,

  • m = 1/4
  • (x₁, y₁) = (-4,1)

substituting the values m = 1/4 and the point (-4,1) in the point slope form of line equation.

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)

y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)

Thus, an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-4,1) and (4,3) will be:

y-1=\frac{1}{4}\left(x+4\right)
