Concept explainers
A zoo has categorized its visitors into three categories: member, school, and general. The member category refers to visitors who pay an annual fee to support the zoo. Members receive certain benefits such as discounts on merchandise and trips planned by the zoo. The school category includes faculty and students from day care and elementary and secondary schools; these visitors generally receive a discounted rate. The general category includes all other visitors. The zoo has been concerned about a recent drop in attendance. To help better understand attendance and membership, a zoo staff member has collected the following data:
- a. Construct a bar chart of total attendance over time. Comment on any trend in the data.
- b. Construct a side-by-side bar chart showing attendance by visitor category with year as the variable on the horizontal axis.
- c. Comment on what is happening to zoo attendance based on the charts from parts (a) and (b).

- The Lawson Fabric Mill Produces five different fabrics. Each fabric can be woven on one or more of the mill’s 36 looms. The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill.

The second allows the rider to purchase a discount card. The cardholder pays $21 at the start of the month plus a fee of S0.50 per ride. Option 3 is a flat fee option where the rider pays $40 for thee month and may ride any bus at no additional cost during the month. Define the variable x to be the number of rides you take each month. Express each option as a function of x. Graph all three functions on the same set of axes. What is the break even number of rides between the options? If you only take 10 rides a month what option should you choose? If you take 40 rides a month what option should you choose? Watch the video posted in the Capstone #1 area involving…arrow_forward
