A business offers educational tours to Patagonia, a region of South America that includes parts of Chile and Argentina. The profit P for x number of persons is P(x) = −25x^2 + 1250x − 5000. The trip will be rescheduled if the profit is less than $7500. How many people must have signed up if the trip is rescheduled?

13.82 or 14 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set equation equal to 7500

7500 = -25x² + 1250x - 5000

Step 2: Solve

0 = -25x² + 1250x - 12500

0 = -25(x² - 50x + 500)

0 = x² - 50x + 500

When you use the quadratic formula, you should get 13.82, rounded to 14 people as your answer.

Alternatively, we can graph the expression and see where $7500 for x people is.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

5   1/4   miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

15   3/4 / 3 = 5   1/4
