The manager of a vacation resort believes that the ages of adult visitors to the resort can be modeled by a normal distribution.
The manager surveyed a random sample of 765 visitors and recorded their age. A summary of the responses is shown in the frequency table, where x represents the age of the visitor. a) Construct a histogram of the distribution of ages. (b) Write a few sentences to describe the distribution of ages of the adult visitors to the resort.
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) A histogram is like a bar graph, but with ranges instead of values.
(b) The distribution is approximately uniform, with slightly more people at the younger and older ends than in the middle.
(c) The ages do not appear to come from a normal distribution. Normal distributions are bell-shaped, tall in the middle and short on the sides.

The equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is
Data;
- cost of machine = 1500
- annual depreciation value = x
This is an equation written to represent a word problem into mathematical statement and this is easier to solve.
To write a linear depreciation model for this machine would be
For number of years, the cost of the machine would become
This is properly written as
where x represents the number of years.
For example, after 5 years, the value of the machine would become
The value of the machine would be $500 at the end of the fifth year.
From the above, the equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is f(x) = 1500 - 200x
