Answer:

80 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit, y, modeled by the equation, y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200, where x is the number of tickets sold, we are to find the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even. To do that we will simply substitute y = 0 into the given the equation and calculate the value of x;

y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

0 = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

x^2 – 40x – 3,200 = 0

x^2 – 80x  + 40x – 3,200 = 0

x(x-80)+40(x-80) = 0

(x+40)(x-80) = 0

x = -40 and x = 80

x cannot be negative

Hence the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even is 80 tickets

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 0.50477

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sugar content of the syrup is canned peaches is normally distributed.

We assume the can is designed to have standard deviation \sigma=5 milligrams.

The sampling distribution of the sample variance is chi-square distribution.

Also,The data yields a sample standard deviation of s=4.8 milligrams.

Sample size : n= 10

Test statistic for chi-square :\chi^2=\dfrac{s^2(n-1)}{\sigma^2}

i.e. \chi^2=\dfrac{(4.8)^2(10-1)}{(5)^2}=8.2944

Now, P-value = P(\chi^2>8.2944)=0.50477  [By using the chi-square distribution table for p-values.]

Hence, the chance of observing the sample standard deviation greater than 4.8 milligrams = 0.50477
