Answer:

258

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the two equations needed (x is the adult tickets and y is the student tickets)

x+y=372

6x+2y=1776

Solve by elimination

-2(x+y=372)

=-2x-2y=-744

Cancel like figures:

-2x-2y=-744

6x+2y=1776

= 4x=1032

x=258

258 adult tickets were sold.
1) Set up your 2 equations
• 6a +2s= $1776 (remember cost of each type of ticket goes with the total cost)
• a+s= 372 (number of tickets goes with the total number of tickets)
2) Easy way is to use your calculator and the matrix option
(first section: two rows/two columns)
(second section: two rows/one column)
•put the first section to the negative 1 power and multiply it by the second section
-> The answer for # of adult tickets are on top and student is on bottom. I have an example on the bottom
Or a second way
1) Set up equations
• 6a+2s=$1776
• s+a= 372
2) Rearrange bottom equation to use substitution method
• a= 372- s
3) Then substitute a with top equation and distribute
• 6(372-s) + 2s= $1776 = 2232-6s + 2s= $1776
4) Add like terms and solve for s
• 2232-4s= $1776
-> minus 2232 from 1176= -456
-> divide -4s by itself and -456
-> number of student tickets are 114
5) Plug in 114 to equation (a=372-s) Then subtract 372- 114 and you get the number of adult tickets! :)

Determine whether the following is an example of a sampling error or a non-sampling error. 12% of all people are left handed. A
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Sampling Error

Step-by-step explanation:

When the researcher randomly selected 200 people, he is creating an sample or subset from the population, that would be all the people in the earth. The error obtained was product of the fact that the analysis he made was estimated from the sample and not the whole population. There is no other mentioned factor that could cause an error, so the answer would be a sampling Error.

Use the mid-point rule with n = 4 to approximate the area of the region bounded by y = x3 and y = x. (10 points)
USPshnik [31]
See the graph attached.

The midpoint rule states that you can calculate the area under a curve by using the formula:
M_{n} = \frac{b - a}{2} [ f(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1} }{2}) +  f(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}) + ... +  f(\frac{x_{n-1} + x_{n} }{2})]

In your case:
a = 0
b = 1
n = 4
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 1/4
x₂ = 1/2
x₃ = 3/4
x₄ = 1

Therefore, you'll have:
M_{4} = \frac{1 - 0}{4} [ f(\frac{0 +  \frac{1}{4} }{2}) +  f(\frac{ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} }{2}) +  f(\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{3}{4} + 1} {2})]
M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [ f(\frac{1}{8}) +  f(\frac{3}{8}) +  f(\frac{5}{8}) + f(\frac{7}{8})]

Now, to evaluate your f(x), you need to look at the graph and notice that:
f(x) = x - x³

Therefore:
M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - (\frac{1}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{3}{8} - (\frac{3}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{5}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{7}{8} - (\frac{7}{8})^{3})]

M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{512}) + (\frac{3}{8} - \frac{27}{512}) + (\frac{5}{8} - \frac{125}{512}) + (\frac{7}{8} - \frac{343}{512})]

M₄ = 1/4 · (2 - 478/512)
     = 0.2666

Hence, the <span>area of the region bounded by y = x³ and y = x</span> is approximately 0.267 square units.

Solve the equation by using square roots. 2 x 2 − 9 = 11
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 9 = 11 ( add 9 to both sides )

2x² = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{10} ← exact solutions
