Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for children and adults package be represented with x and y respectively.

For the first week the sum of the package will be as follows:

3x+8y = 126

For the two weeks after:

6x+4y= 108

So, we will be having two equations

3x+8y = 126..... (1)

6x+4y= 108.......(2)

These are simultaneous equations

From equation 1

3x+8y = 126

3x = 126-8y

X = 126-8y/3 ............. (3)

Put equation 3 into 2

6 ( 126-8y)/3 +4y = 108

756-48y/3 +4y = 108

756-48y+12y/3 = 108

Cross multiplying

756-48y+12y= 108×3

756-48y+ 12y = 324

Collecting like terms

756-324 = 48y-12y

432= 36y

Divide both sides by 36

432/36 = 36y/36

y= 12

Substituting y into equation 1

3x+8= 126

3x+96=126

3x= 126-96

3x= 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Hence for each of the packages for children and adults. It will be 10 and 12 respectively.

Comparing Standard Deviations
inessss [21]

Explanation:

There may be a couple of reasons for this:

1. Each team represents a sample of the players in the league. The averages of (random) samples can be expected to have a standard deviation that is smaller than the population standard deviation by a factor related to sample size.

2. A team average will result from the players who are played the most. Each team can be expected to field players more often whose averages are among the highest. The standard deviation of a set of the top tier of players will necessarily be smaller than the standard deviation of the set of all players.
