Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up and solve a system of linear equations here.

Let s and a represent the number of students and adults respectively.

Then s + a = 9, and s = 9 - a.

Total ticket cost for the adults was ($8/adult)(a)

and for the students ($5/student)(s).

Total cost of the tickets was then  ($8/adult)(a) + ($5/student)(s) = $60.

Then our system of linear equations is:

8a + 5s = 60

 a  +  s  = 9, or s = 9 - a.  Substituting 9 - a for s, we get:

8a + 5(9 - a) = 60.

Then 8a + 45 - 5a = 60, or 3a = 15.

Solving for a, we get a = 5.

Solving for s using s = 9 - a, we get   s = 9 - 5, or s = 4.

There were 5 adults in the group (and 4 students).

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

d. If your sample size is very large, the distribution of the sample averages will look more like distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central limit Theorem states that for population distribution if you repeatedly take samples from the distribution, then the normal thing for it to happen would be that the distribution means of the samples will be normally distributed, this is what it states, the option that comes closer to that statement would be  d. If your sample size is very large, the distribution of the sample averages will look more like distribution, because they large sample will create for a normally distributed means distribution.
