A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 58000 spectators. With the ticket price at $12 the average attendance has been 25000. When the price dropped to $9, the average attendance rose to 29000. Assume that attendance is linearly related to ticket price.

Required:
a. Find the demand function p(x), where x is the number of the spectators.
b. How should ticket prices be set to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to assume that the relationship is linear.

a) Remember that a linear relation is written as:

y = a*x + b

then we will have:

p(x) = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we know that the line passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d), then the slope can be written as:

y = (d - b)/(c - a)

In this case, we know that:

if the ticket has a price of $12, the average attendance is 25,000

Then we can define this with the point:

(25,000 , $12)

We also know that when the price is $9, the attendance is 29,000

This can be represented with the point:

(29,000, $9)

Then we can find the slope as:

a = ($9 - $12)/(29,000 - 25,000) = -$3/4,000 = -$0.00075

Then the equation is something like:

y = (-$0.00075)*x + b

to find the value of b we can use one of the known points.

For example, the point (25,000 , $12) means that when x = 25,000, the price is $12

then:

$12 = (-$0.00075)*25,000 + b

$12 = -$18.75 + b

$12 + $18.75 = b

$30.75 = b

Then the equation is:

p(x) = (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75

b) We want to find the ticket price such that it maximizes the revenue.

The revenue will be equal to the price per ticket, p(x) times the total attendance, x.

Then the revenue can be written as:

r(x) = x*p(x) = x*( (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75 )

r(x) =  (-$0.00075)*x^2 + $30.75*x

So we want to find the maximum revenue.

Notice that this is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient, thus the maximum will be at the vertex.

Remember that for an equation like:

y = a*x^2 + bx + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then in our case, the x-value will be:

x = -$30.75/(2*(-$0.00075)) = 20,500

Then the revenue is maximized for x = 20,500

And the price for this x-vale is given by:

p( 20,500) =  (-$0.00075)*20,500 + $30.75 = $15.375

which should be rounded to $15.38

1. What is an extraneous solution and what type of functions might they occur in?

2. Given a vertical asymptote and horizontal asymptote, how would you begin to find an expression for a rational function?

Answers

Answer:

1.

An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation as it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

It emerges from the process of solving the problem as a equation.

2.I begin like:

The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero:

for example:

x² − 4=0

x²= 4

doing square root on both side

x = ±2

Thus, the graph will have vertical asymptotes at x = 2 and x = −2.

To find the horizontal asymptote, the degree of the numerator is one and the degree of the denominator is two.

The calculation of the mean of a population and the expected value of the probability mass function of a Random Variable (RV) are quite similar. Consider a probability mass function that contains 4 unique Random Variables: 100, 200, 300, 400. If the expected value of the RV can be calculated by simply taking the average of the RVs, what can be said about the corresponding probabilities of each of the 4 RVs

Answers

Answer: Hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options.

A.) The probabilities of the RVs may be equal

B.) The sum of the probabilities of the RVs exceed 1

C.) This is an impossible occurrence

D.) The probabilities of the RVs must be equal

E.) None of the above

A mid-sized company has decided to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and management suspects that many of its employees are concerned about the planned implementation. Managers are considering holding informational workshops to help decrease anxiety levels among employees. To determine whether such an approach would be effective, they randomly select 16 employees to participate in a pilot workshop. These employees were given a questionnaire to measure anxiety levels about ERP before and after participating in the workshop. Do the data indicate that anxiety levels about ERP decreases as a result of the workshop

Answers

Answer:

From the data The anxiety levels decreases as a result of the workshop

given that the mean value of the differences = -1.1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of randomly selected employees = 16

From the data It can be noticed that the difference in anxiety levels decrease ( Tends towards values below 0 )

To determine this we have to determine the mean value of the differences

(-3) + (-3) + (-2) +(-2) +(-2) + (-2 ) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1 ) + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0  + 1 / 16

= -18 / 16 = - 1.1125

mean value = -1.1125.

Answers

Answer:

The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they will develop hypertension, or they will not. The probability of a person developing hypertension is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

Suppose that the probability that a person will develop hypertension over a life time is 60%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]

13 graduating students from the same college are selected at random.

This means that [tex]n = 13[/tex]

Find the mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time

[tex]E(X) = np = 13*0.6 = 7.8[/tex]

The mean number of the students who develop hypertension over a life time is 7.8.

exterior angles + corresponding interior angles = 180º

that means the two other angles of the triangle are:

180 - 140 = 40º

and

180 - 90 = 90º

the sum of interior angles in a triangle = 180

p = 180 - (40 + 90)

p = 180 - 130

p = 50º

A normal distribution has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 4. Determine the z-score for the data value of 42.

Answers

Answer:

Z = (42-20)/4 = 5.5

Z = X-μ / σ

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for the data value of 42 is 5.5.

What is a z-score?

A z-score is defined as the fractional representation of data point to the mean using standard deviations.

Formula of z-score = (X - μ) / σ

Given,

μ = 20

σ = 4

X = 42

z-score = (X - μ) / σ

Substitute the values,

z-score =  (42-20)/4

z-score = 22/4

z-score =  5.5

Hence, the z-score for the data value of 42 is 5.5.

What is the length of de?

Answers

Answer: length of DE = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles of these two triangles are the same, we can assume that they are similar triangles. To solve for a missing side of a triangle that is similar, you can set up a proportion:

[tex]\frac{27}{15}=\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

To solve for x (the missing length), you would do:

27 × 10 ÷ 15 = 18

You can set up the proportion in any way between the two triangles as long as the two sides correspond to each other. For example, you could have also used the following proportion to solve for x:

[tex]\frac{x}{27} =\frac{10}{15}[/tex]

When you solve for x using this proportion, you would get the same value for x:
