Given :

Marcus bought a booklet of tickets to use at the amusement park.

He used 50% of the tickets on rides, 13% of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage.

To Find :

Marcus says he used 10% of the tickets in the batting cage.

Solution :

We know sum of all the percentage should be equal to 100.

So,

( % used on rides ) + ( % used on video game ) + ( % used in batting cage ) = 100

Let, % of ticket spend on batting cage is x.

50 + 13 + x = 100

x = 100 - ( 50 + 13 )

x = 37%

So, Marcus used 37% in batting cage.

Therefore, the statement by Marcus that he use 10% of the ticket in the cage is wrong.

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
