Answer:

Number of children=57

Number of adults=54

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by forming simultaneous equations from the information provided.

Let the number of children be x and adults be y, then the the sum of the amount collected from both children and adults=3.25x+4y=401.25

The total number of people in attendance x+y=111

Let us solve these equations simultaneously.

3.25x+4y=401.25

x+y=111

Using substitution method.

y=111-x

3.25x+4(111-x)=401.25

3.25x+444-4x=401.25

-0.75cx=-42.75

x=57

Number of children=57

Adults=111-57

=54

Answer:

57 children

54 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

Then we know that:

x + z = 111

We also know that:

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

-Multiplay the first equation by -4 and add it to the second equation:

-4x - 4z = -444

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

----------------------------------

-0.75x = -42.75

x =\frac{-42.75}{-0.75}\\\\x=57

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

57 + z = 111

z = 111-57

z = 54

Find the mean, standard deviation, and variance of Lucas's lunch expenditures. Round to the nearest thousandth.
olga2289 [7]
So mean is pretty easy to calculate; you just add everything up and divide by the number of things you added. Variance is pretty tricky because it involves subtracting the mean from each number, squaring that, adding all of the numbers up, and then dividing by the number of things. Then standard deviation is just the square root of the variance. Although some might enjoy spending hours figuring these out (I actually had to take a class where we only did this and stuff like it), most of us who use statistical tests do not want to waste our time on it. It is for that reason that there are websites that will compute all of these and all you have to do is put in the numbers. A pretty good one is:

http://www.calculator.net/standard-deviation-calculator.html

This one will calculate these and almost any other tests you need.

Now to your problem, if we add all of them up and divide by N (the # of things added), then we will get a mean of (μ=$5.10). From this, we can do further descriptive statistics. Standard Variance of the sample was calculated to (s^2=0.254). If we take the square root of the variance, we get a standard deviation of (s=0.504). I hope that this helps you with this problem and I hope that I helped for future problems by introducing the variance and standard deviation calculator to you!

Sophie [7]

Answer: 540

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A polling company reported that 53​% of 1018 surveyed adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."

To find: The exact value of 53​% of 1018.

53\%\text{  of }1018 = \dfrac{53}{100}\times1018  [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into a fraction of decimal]

=\dfrac{53954}{100}=539.54\\\\\approx540

Hence, the 540  adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."

Thus, the exact value = 540
