The Dataville Dispatch wants to analyze sales

The Dataville Dispatch is a popular news magazine, read by most of Dataville’s residents. And the Dispatch has a very specific question for you: they want to tie the number of articles per issue to sales of their magazine and find an optimum number of articles to write.

They want each issue be as cost effective as possible. If putting a hundred articles in each issue doesn’t get them any more sales than putting fifty articles in each issue, they don’t want to do it. On the other hand, if fifty article issues correlate to more sales than ten article issues, they’ll want to go with the fifty articles.
