Question

The Tides are playing at home for the weekend. The Friday night game draws a crowd of 25,400 people and the Saturday afternoon game draws a crowd of 23,700 people. How many people can attend the Sunday evening game to have an average attendance for the weekend of at most 24,000?

Answer 1

22900

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the mean(average)

Mean = sum of samples/sample size

Crowd number on Friday night = 25400

Crowd number in Saturday afternoon = 23700

Crowd number Sunday evening = x

Average attendance = 24,000

Total days = 3

Substitute into the formula and get x

24000 = 25400+23700+x/3

Cross multiply

24000×3 = 49100+x

72000 = 49100+x

X = 72000-49100

X = 22900

Hence 22900 can attend on Sunday evening to have average of 24000
