Answer:

p(x) = 38500 - 1500x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average attendance was 25000 when the ticket price at $9. The average attendance rose to 28000 when the price lowered to $7.

Therefore, if the demand function p(x) where, x is the value of each tickets is linear then we have p(9) = 25000 and p(7) = 28000.

Hence, the demand function will be given as

\frac{p(x) - 28000}{28000 - 25000} = \frac{x - 7}{7 - 9}

⇒ p(x) - 28000 = 1500(7 - x)

⇒ p(x) = 28000 + 10500 - 1500x

⇒ p(x) = 38500 - 1500x. (Answer)

The circumference of ruby's old swimming pool is 47.1 feet. Her new swimming pool has a diameter of 21 feet. How much larger is
Alla [95]

The new pool is 18.84 feet larger in circumference than the old one.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Circumference of the pool = 47.1 feet

Diameter of the new pool, d = 21 feet

radius, r = 21/2 feet

Circumference of the new pool = ?

We know:

Circumference = 2πr

where,

r is the radius

On substituting the value:

C = 2 X 3.14 X \frac{21}{2}

C = 65.94 feet

The difference in circumference of the two pools = 65.94 - 47.1 feet

                                                                                  = 18.84 feet

Therefore, the new pool is 18.84 feet larger in circumference than the old one.

A fair coin is tossed four times. What is the probability that the number of heads appearing on the first two tosses is equal to
alekssr [168]

Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a fair coin, then generally, P(Head) = P(Tail) = ½

And since we've been asked to find the probability that the number of heads in the first two tosses be equal to the number of heads in the second two tosses, tossing a fair coin four times, the possible outcomes of having equal number of heads in first two tosses and second two tosses becomes:

[HHHH] or [HTHT] or [THTH] or [TTTT] or [HTTH] or [THHT]

=[½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½]

=1/16 * 6

=6/16

=3/8.

Solve the problem.When exposed to ethylene gas, green bananas will ripen at an accelerated rate. The number of days for ripening
Alex Ar [27]

The table and the plotted data are in the attachment.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: A line of best fit is the best approximation of the given data. It is used to show the relation of two variables and it can be determined, more accurately, by the Least Square Method.

To use the method, follow the steps:

1) Calculate the mean of the two variables:

X = \frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}

Y=\frac{\Sigma y_{i}}{n}

2) The Slope of the line is given by:

m=\frac{\Sigma (x_{i}-X)(y_{i}-Y)}{\Sigma (x_{i}-X)^{2}}

3) The y-intercept is found by the formula:

b=Y-mX

For the ripening of bananas, the least square method gives the line:

y = -0.142x + 5.56

The rate of change of a line equation is its slope, so

Rate of change = -0.14

The rate of change of ripening time with respect to exposure time is -0.14, which means the more expose the fruit is, the less time it needs to ripe.
