Chapter 3.2, Problem 4A
Unfortunately for the snow cone business we studied within the lesson, they’re not the only game in town when it comes to frosty treats. They compete fiercely with Frosty the Cone Man, a nearby ice cream stand. The table describes the profit that Frosty can make based on the number of cones he sells. We’ll be using this information throughout the Applications.
| Cones sold | Profit |
| 200 | −$375 |
| 400 | −$181 |
| 600 | $13 |
| 800 | $207 |
| 1,000 | $401 |
| $595 |

Americans' trust in government and the media has generally been
on a downward trend since pollsters first asked questions on these
topics in the second half of the twentieth century. Trust in
government hit an all-time low of 14% in 2014, while trust in the
media bottomed out at 32% in 2016. The bar graph shows the
percentage of Americans trusting in the government and the media
for five selected years. Use this information to answer parts a-c.

For planning students financial aid, the university Financial Aid office needs to know how much a student has spent on textbooks this quarter. Since contacting all students would be very time consuming, they decide to contact a representative group of one hundred students to get this information. Each student totals the amount he or she spent for textbooks this quarter and gives this number to the Financial Aid office. The Financial Aid office calculates that the average spent per student is $385.62
