The answer is $25.

x - the price of an adult ticket
y - the price of a child ticket

The Jones <span>paid $74 for 2 adults and 2 children: 2x + 2y = 74
The Tuckers paid </span><span>$86 for 2 adults and 3 children: 2x + 3y = 86

This is the system of two equations:
</span>2x + 2y = 74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Multiply the first one by (-1)
2x * (-1) + 2y * (-1) = 74 * (-1)
2x + 3y = 86
____
-2x - 2y = -74
2x + 3y = 86
____
Sum the equations:
2x - 2x + 3y - 2y = 86 - 74
y = 12
____
Substitute y in the first equation to find x:
2x + 2 * 12 = 74
2x + 24 = 74
2x = 74 - 24
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25

So, the price of the adult ticket is $25 and the price of the child ticket is $12.

Fiona recorded the mean math exam grade for six random samples of students from the entire seventh-grade class. Sample Sample Me
Charra [1.4K]

The reason why Fiona cannot make a valid prediction based on the mean of the population is that the variation of Fiona’s samples is too large.

<h3>Why can't Fiona use the means she recorded?</h3><h3 />

Mean is quite sensitive to outliers so it is best used when the variation between variables is not too much.

In Fiona's case, there variation is quite high with high variable of 95 compared to a low value of 45.
