Answers:
a = 2
b = 3
=======================================================
Explanation:
Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that
y = a*b^x
2 = a*b^0
2 = a*1
2 = a
a = 2
Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b
y = a*b^x
y = 2*b^x
54 = 2*b^3
2b^3 = 54
b^3 = 54/2
b^3 = 27
b = (27)^(1/3)
b = 3
So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x
Mean is 64 and the mean absolute deviation is 12.5
The answer is $80 because it's $40 per person so two people is $80
