Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the types of tickets involved.

There are student tickets and adult tickets.

Create a table to organize the information.

Number

   

Value ($)

   

Total Value ($)

 

Student

Adult

,

506

 

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for.

We are looking for the number of student and adult tickets.

Step 3. Name. Represent the number of each type of ticket using variables.

We know the number of adult tickets sold was  

5

 less than three times the number of student tickets sold.

Let  

s

 be the number of student tickets.

Then  

3

s

−

5

 is the number of adult tickets.

Multiply the number times the value to get the total value of each type of ticket.

Step 6. Check. There were  

47

 student tickets at  

$6

 each and  

136

 adult tickets at  

$9

 each. Is the total value  

$1506

?

 We find the total value of each type of ticket by multiplying the number of tickets times its value; we then add to get the total value of all the tickets sold.

Suppose g is the function g(x) = 2^x and g : {1, 2, 3} -&gt;{1, 2, 4, 8}
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that g is a function from g : {1, 2, 3} ->{1, 2, 4, 8}

by the function

g(x) = 2^x

i.e. we have g(1) =2\\g(2) = 4\\g(3) =8

Range = {2,4,8} Since there is an extra element 1 in the co domain which is not in range , g is not on to

But g is one to one as 1,2,3 have different images.

Given a dilation around the origin, what is the scale factor K?<br><br> Do, K = (20,16) → (-5,-4)
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Scale factor, K = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation of any image changes its size and the shape remains same.

The scale factor is the ratio of dilated image to original image.

Dilation rule: (x, y) → (kx, ky), where k is the scale factor.

It means k = x₂/x₁ or y₂/y₁

K = -5/20 = -1/4 or K = -4/16 = -1/4.

<u>The negative value of scale factor (K) indicates dilations with 180 degree rotation of the dilated image.</u>

Hence the scale factor is K = -1/4.

Given that a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all adult males in Idaho measured in inches was [62.532, 76.478]. Us
grigory [225]

Answer:

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

\bar X represent the sample mean  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)  

\sigma represent the population standard deviation  

n represent the sample size  

Assuming the X follows a normal distribution  

X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)

The confidence interval on this case is given by:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (62.532, 76.478)[/tex]

And we can calculate the mean with this:

\bar X = \frac{62.532+76.478}{2}= 69.505

So then the mean for this case is 69.505
