Answer:

68 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1 week costs $11.50.

so, how many such weekly each cycles fit into the price of new machines ?

if they wait to long (to many weeks) they spend in total more money than buying a new machine.

but if they stay still below that max. number of weeks, they have at least the illusion that they are cheaper of with the weekly laundromat investment (but they forget, sooner or later they will need the new machines).

so the break even point is simply

782 / 11.5 = 68 weeks.

after 68 weeks it has cost them exactly the same amount of money, as if they had bought new machines right away at the beginning.

Answer:

C) 24 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of adults and C be the number of children.

If a ticket costs $8 per adult, we can express this as 8A

If a ticket costs $5 per child, we can express this as 5C

Combining the two expressions, we can write 8A+5C=272 as our first equation since the total amount of money collected is $272.

Our second equation would be A+C=40 since there are 40 people.

Now, we can take the second equation and write it as C=40-A so we can substitute the value of C into the first equation as 40-A so we only have to deal with one variable, the amount of adults that went to the theater.

The first equation now becomes 8A+5(40-A)=272 and is much easier to solve:

8A+5(40-A)=272

8A+200-5A=272

3A+200=272

3A=72

A=24

Therefore, there are 24 adults

The estimate obtained from a sample of which of the following sizes would most likely be closest to the actual parameter value o
SOVA2 [1]

To obtain an estimate of a parameter of a population, we use confidence intervals.

Confidence intervals:

The larger the sample size, the closest the parameter estimate is to the value of the population, as the margin of error of confidence intervals is inversely proportional to the sample size, that is, a greater sample leads to a smaller margin of error.

Thus, you should select the highest sample size in the options.
