Answer:

The number of key rings sold on that day is 4000 key rings

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the information in the problem

- The profit earned (in thousands of dollars) per day by selling n number

  of key rings is given by the function P(n) = n² - 2n - 3, where n is the

  number of key rings in thousands and P is the profit in thousands

  for one day

- On a particular day the total profit is $5,000

∵ 5000 = 5 in thousands

∵ The function P(n) is the profit of n key ring in thousands

∴ P(n) = 5

- Lets solve the function to find the number of key rings

∵ P(n) = n² - 2n - 3

∴ 5 = n² - 2n - 3 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 0 = n² - 2n - 8 ⇒ factorize it

∵ n² = n × n ⇒ 1st terms in the 2 brackets

∵ -8 = -4 × 2 ⇒ 2nd terms in the 2 brackets

∵ n × -4 = -4n ⇒ nears

∵ n × 2 = 2n ⇒ extremes

∵ -4n + 2n = -2n ⇒ the middle term

∴ (n - 4)(n + 2) = 0 ⇒ equate each bracket by 0 to find n

∴ n - 4 = 0 ⇒ add 4 to both sides

∴ n = 4 key ring in thousands = 4000 key rings

- OR

∴ n + 2 = 0 ⇒ subtract 2 from both sides

∴ n = -2 ⇒ we will refused this value because number of key rings

   must be positive

∴ The number of key rings sold on that day is 4000 key rings

Vinil7 [7]
This employee who was randomly chosen represents the population of the company. This means that, any parameter measured through this employee can be considered as the mean or average value for the whole population (the company).

Based on this, taking the age of the employee as the desired parameter, the age of this employee will be considered as the average or mean age for the whole company. This means that the age of the employee and the mean age of all employees are equal.

Therefore, the answer is C) 32, 32
