Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations.

Let's say that the number of tickets bought by students in the first year is x, and the number bought by continuing students is y. From there, you can set it up like this:

0.4x+0.2y=160

x+y=500

Now, you can multiply the first equation by 5 on both sides to get:

2x+y=800

Subtracting the second equation from the first equation now yields:

x=300

y=200

Since 300 of the 500 tickets bought were from the first year students, and 300/500 is 0.6, 60% of the students who bought the ticket were first year students. Hope this helps!

Which sample is representative of the population being studied?
Lesechka [4]
First, let's break down what the difference between a sample and population is. A sample is a small part or quantity intended to show what the whole is like. A population is all inhabitants of a town, country, or the world. Samples are only representative of the population if the data collected is being collected in a fair manner. In answer choices A - C, the researcher is collecting data in locations specific to what is being studied. The outcome is likely to be bias because of the method in which the data is being collected. It is for that reason that the correct answer is D. To learn how many students at her school spend more than $10 on books in a month, Mia speaks to every sixth student she meets in the school hallway.
