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.

You collect a random sample of size n from a population and calculate a 90% confidence interval. Which of the following strategi
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Decrease the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error is:

ME = CV × √(σ / n)

where σ is the population standard deviation, or:

ME = CV × √(p (1 − p) / n)

where p is the proportion.

In each case, the margin of error is directly proportional to the critical value, and inversely proportional to √n.

Lowering the confidence level will lower the critical value, which will decrease the margin of error.  Decreasing the sample size will increase the margin of error.
