Solution Steps

To solve the given problem, we need to calculate the relative frequency distribution and the proportion of tickets for New York.

(a) To construct a relative frequency distribution, we divide the frequency of each city by the total number of tickets.

(b) The proportion of tickets for New York is calculated by dividing the frequency of New York tickets by the total number of tickets.

Step 1: Calculate Total Number of Tickets

First, we calculate the total number of tickets purchased by summing the frequencies for all cities: \[ \text{Total Tickets} = 1121 + 1035 + 956 + 498 + 672 = 4282 \]

Step 2: Construct Relative Frequency Distribution

To find the relative frequency for each city, divide the frequency of each city by the total number of tickets. The relative frequency for each city is calculated as follows:

  • Las Vegas: \[ \frac{1121}{4282} \approx 0.2618 \]
  • Orlando: \[ \frac{1035}{4282} \approx 0.2417 \]
  • New York: \[ \frac{956}{4282} \approx 0.2233 \]
  • Chicago: \[ \frac{498}{4282} \approx 0.1163 \]
  • San Diego: \[ \frac{672}{4282} \approx 0.1569 \]
Step 3: Calculate Proportion of Tickets for New York

The proportion of tickets purchased for New York is calculated by dividing the frequency of New York tickets by the total number of tickets: \[ \frac{956}{4282} \approx 0.2233 \]

Final Answer

  • The relative frequency distribution is:

    • Las Vegas: \(\boxed{0.2618}\)
    • Orlando: \(\boxed{0.2417}\)
    • New York: \(\boxed{0.2233}\)
    • Chicago: \(\boxed{0.1163}\)
    • San Diego: \(\boxed{0.1569}\)

  • The proportion of tickets for New York is: \(\boxed{0.2233}\)

One pump can empty a pool in 7 days, whereas a second pump can empty the pool in 10 days. How long will it take the two pumps, working together, to empty the pool? (Fractional answers are OK.) The first pump's rate is per day. The second pump's rate is per day. The combined pumps rate is per day. It will take the two pumps days to empty the pool together.
