Alvin and Dariah took their 3 young children to the movies in nearby Westwood. An adult ticket costs 3 times the cost of a child’s ticket. If they paid a total of $27.00, what is the cost of each adult ticket?
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
Let each adult ticket cost be x thus the ticket cost of child ticket is .
As Alvin and Dariah are adults thus total adult tickets are 2x.
As there are three children thus the total children ticket will be .
