Answer:
a)
b) 
c) Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
represent the mean for 1
represent the mean for 2
represent the population standard deviation for 1
represent the population standard deviation for 2
sample size for the group 1
sample size for the group 2
z would represent the statistic
Hypothesis to test
We want to check if the two means for this case are equal or not, the system of hypothesis would be:
H0:
H1:
The statistic would be given by:
(1)
Part a
Replacing we got:

Part b
The p value would be given by this probability:

Part c
Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance
In the attachement, there is what I came up with so far. I think that finding 'a' is non-trivial, if possible at all.

Answer:
5/2, 5/2, -3= (5/2)(2)+b, -8, y=(5/2)x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
