Answer:
A)
Note that
Lower Bound = X - z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
Upper Bound = X + z(alpha/2) * s / sqrt(n)
where
alpha/2 = (1 - confidence level)/2 = 0.025
X = sample mean = 1723.4
z(alpha/2) = critical z for the confidence interval = 1.959963985
s = sample standard deviation = 89.55083319
n = sample size = 30
Thus,
Lower bound = 1691.355235
Upper bound = 1755.444765
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 1691.355235 , 1755.444765 ) [ANSWER]

b)
We assumed taht the distirbution of these observations is approximately normally distributed.

c)
Yes, because the values are not far away from each other.
Answer:
The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence is geometric if each term (after the first one) is equal to the term before it times some constant number, called the 'common ratio'.
Examples: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... has a common ratio of 2 because 2*2 = 4, and 4*2 = 8, and so on.
Also, --> 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4/ 1/8, ... has a common ratio of 1/2 because
4 * 1/2 = the next term 2, and 2 * 1/2 = the next trem 1/4, and son on.
In this case, 3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2
Let x be the number of pages of advertisements.
Write a proportion from the table:
of a page of advertisment - 5 pages in a magazine
x pages of advertisment - 98 pages in a magazine,
then
Find x:
Answer: 13 whole pages and 
of 14th page are advertisments, so 14 pages contain advertisments.
