Answer:

a) For Pawnee:

Range = 11, Mean = 3.13, Mean deviation = 2.44

For Chickpee:

Range =  7, Mean = 4.25, Mean deviation = 1.59

b) Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

c) variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

For Pawnee:

3 1 0 0 2 11 5 3

Max = 11

Min = 0

Range = Max - Min

Range = 11-0 = 11

Range = 11

For Chickpee:

3 6 8 4 4 5 3 1

Max = 8

Min = 1

Range = Max - Min

Range = 8 - 1

Range = 7

For mean of Pawnee:

Mean = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3)/8

Mean = 25/8

Mean = 3.125

For mean deviation, we find the difference from the mean of each point.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0.

Differences from the mean of each point =

(3-3.13)=0.13, (1-3.31) = 2.13 ,

(0-3.13)=0, (0-3.13)=3.13,

(2-3.13)=1.13, (11-3.13)=7.87,

(5-3.13)=1.87, (3-3.13)=0.13

So, our differences are:

(0.13, 2.13, 0, 3.13, 1.13, 7.87, 1.87, 0.13 )

Mean deviation =  Sum of all differences/8

Mean deviation = (0.13+2.13+3.13+3.13+ 1.13+ 7.87+ 1.87+ 0.13)/8

Mean deviation = 2.44

For mean of Chickpee:

Mean = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1)/8

Mean = 34/8

Mean = 4.25

Similarly, we need to find mean deviation for Chickpee, for that we need to find the differences first as done above for Pawnee.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0

Differences from the mean:

(3-4.25) = 1.25, (6-4.25) =1.75,

(8-4.25) = 3.75, (4-4.25)=0.25,

(4-4.25)=0.25, (5-4.25)= 0.75,

(3-4.25)=1.25, (1-4.25) =3.25

So, the differences are:

Differences = (1.25,1.75,3.75,0.25,0.25,0.75,1.25,3.25)

Mean deviation = (1.25+ 1.75+ 3.75+ 0.25+ 0.25+ 0.75+ 1.25+ 3.25)/8

Mean deviation = 1.59

b) which location has fewer lost days:

This can be found out by the total number of days of Pawnee and chickpee.

Pawnee = Sum of values = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3) = 25 days

Chickpee = Sum of values = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1) = 34 days

Hence, Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

C) which location has less variation?

Formula for variation = ∑(\frac{x^{2} }{8}) - (mean^{2})

where x = values of the set.

For Pawnee:

mean^{2} = 3.13^{2} = 9.8

Sum of square of all the data points of Pawnee = 169

Variation = 169/8 - 98 = 11.325

Similarly,

For Chickpee:

mean^{2}  = 4.25^{2} = 18.06

Sum of square of all the data points of Chickpee = 176

Variation = 176/8 - 18.06

Variation = 22-18.06

Variation = 4

Hence, variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location

Tickets to a concert cost $2 for children, $3 for teenagers and $5 for adults. When 570 people attended the concert, the total t
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: 220

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Children (x): $2

Teens (y): $3, \frac{3}{4}x

Adults: (z): $5

Quantity: x + y + z = 570  ⇒  x + \frac{3}{4}x + z = 570  ⇒ 1.75x + z = 570  

Cost: 2x + 3y + 5z = 1950  ⇒  2x + 3(\frac{3}{4}x) + 5z = 1950  ⇒  2x + 2.25x + 5z = 1950  ⇒  4.25x + 5z = 1950

Qty:    1.75x +  z =  570  →  5(1.75x +  z =  570)  →    8.75x + 5z = 2850

Cost: 4.25x + 5z = 1950 → -1(4.25x + 5z = 1950 → <u> -4.25x - 5z</u> = <u>-1950 </u>

                                                                                  4.50x        =   900

                                                                                          x       =    200

Teens (y): \frac{3}{4}x

           y = \frac{3}{4}(200)

             = \frac{600}{4}

             = 150

Quantity: x + y + z = 570  

              200 + 150 + z = 570

                     350     + z = 570

                                    z = 220
