The total dollar amount earned, E, is a function of the number of members who perform community service, n. Is 24 a possible output value?

Answer 1

E(n) = 24

E(n) = 8n

n= number of members earning $8 per person

$24 is the output when n = 3

output is the dependent variable E,

input is the independent variable n

often written as f(x)

that's if I understand your question

although community service usually is done for free

so E(n) = 0, with only 0 as the possible output regardless of what n equals

or maybe they earn money but donate it all to some charity

community service is often part of a judge's sentence of probation

don't do the community service and you get a probation violation and likely jail term

proof of guilt doesn't require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, just more likely than not standard of proof for allegations of probation violations
