48 adult tickets and 24 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one adult ticket = $8

Cost of one child ticket = $3

Total worth of sold tickets = $456

Let,

Number of adult tickets sold = x

Number of child ticket sold = y

According to given statement;

8x+3y=456     Eqn 1

x = 2y              Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

8(2y)+3y=456\\16y+3y=456\\19y=456

Dividing both sides by 19

\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{456}{19}\\y=24

Putting y=24 in Eqn 2

x=2(24)\\x=48

48 adult tickets and 24 children tickets were sold.

In a random sample of 80 teenagers, the average number of texts handled in a day is 50. The 96% confidence interval for the mean
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) \bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is \alpha=1-0.96=0.04 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.02 and the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}

And replacing we got:

\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45

b) ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n=80 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

Part a

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

For this case we can calculate the mean like this:

\bar X =\frac{46+54}{2}=50

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= \frac{54-46}{2}= 4

The confidence level is 0.96 and the significance level is \alpha=1-0.96=0.04 and the value of \alpha/2 =0.02 and the margin of error is given by:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We can calculate the critical value and we got:

z_{\alpha/2} = 2.05

And if we solve for the deviation like this:

\sigma = ME * \frac{\sqrt{n}}{z_{\alpha/2}}

And replacing we got:

\sigma =4 *\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2.05} =17.45

Part b

For this case is the sample size is doubled the margin of error would be:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2.05 *\frac{17.45}{\sqrt{160}}=2.828

And as we can see that the margin of error would be lower than the original value of 4, the margin of error would be reduced by a factor \sqrt{2}

Expand the expression (3-2y)^6 using binomial theorem
Nitella [24]

She should have added 2 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 2.

2x -2 = 14

Add 2 to both sides:

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 8

The engine of a car has a displacement of 305 cubic inches. what is the displacement in cubic feet? round your answer to 2 decim
ipn [44]
 solution
 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Therefore, to convert to cubic measurements
 (1 in)³ = (2.54 cm)³
 Thus;
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Hence 305 cubic inches will be equivalent to
  305 × 16.387
 = 4998.035 cm³
