Question

1-2 travel expenses exam a certain rail company uses a method called demand pricing for setting the prices of their seats. the price per seat starts at a fixed amount. as the train starts to fill up, the prices gradually increase. a consumer watchdog agency selected a random coach car on a train travelling between new york and philadelphia. they asked each traveler for the price paid for the seat. the following is the result of their survey.

price	frequency	cumulative frequency
$45	17	29
$55	14	43
$70	7	50
$88	5	55
$107	4	59

how many passengers paid a fare at or

Explanation:

The question seems to be incomplete (the full question about "at or" what price is missing). But assuming we need to find cumulative frequency for a certain price, for example, if we want to find how many passengers paid at or below a certain price, we use the cumulative frequency column.

If we assume the question is "How many passengers paid a fare at or below $55$", we can use the cumulative frequency for the price $55$.

Step1: Identify the cumulative frequency for $55$

From the table, for the price $55$, the cumulative frequency is given as $43$.

(Note: If the actual question was different, for example, "at or below $70$", the cumulative frequency for $70$ is $50$, etc. Since the question is cut off, but based on the table, if we take a common question, let's assume it's about a price where we can use the cumulative frequency. Let's proceed with the example of $55$ as a likely candidate.)

Answer:

If the question is about fare at or below $55$, the number of passengers is $43$. (If the actual price in the full question is different, use the corresponding cumulative frequency from the table. For example, for $70$ it's $50$, for $88$ it's $55$, for $107$ it's $59$, for $45$ it's $29$, for $39$ it's $12$.)
