Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we have to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.

Sample mean:

\overline{x} = \frac{381.3+394.8+396.1+380}{4} = 388.05

Sample standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{\frac{(381.3-388.05)^2+(394.8-388.05)^2+(396.1-388.05)^2+(380-388.05)^2}{3}} = 8.58

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 4 - 1 = 3

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 3.1824

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.1824\frac{8.58}{\sqrt{4}} = 13.65

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 388.05 - 13.65 = 374.4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 388.05 + 13.65 = 401.7

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

1. We need to plug in values of x into the functions f(x) and g(x):

f(2) = 2.5 * 2 - 10.5 = -5.5                         g(2) = 64 * (0.5^2) = 16

f(3) = 2.5 * 3 - 10.5 = -3                            g(3) = 64 * (0.5^3) = 8

f(4) = 2.5 * 4 - 10.5 = -0.5                         g(4) = 64 * (0.5^4) = 4

f(5) = 2.5 * 5 - 10.5 = 2                             g(5) = 64 * (0.5^5) = 2

f(6) = 2.5 * 6 - 10.5 = 4.5                          g(6) = 64 * (0.5^6) = 1

2.

(a) Notice that at 14 on the x-axis, the blue line is above 4. Meanwhile, at 14, the red line is less than 2. Obviously, we can see that if the printed ad revenue was less than 2 and the online ad revenue was greater than 4, that's more than a double, so the lead marketing executive is correct.

(b) The approximate year that the revenues were equal is the place where the lines intersect. It's approximately at Year 7.5.

3.

(a) The Western Beach is clearly decreasing; it is decreasing by 2 ft per year. Meanwhile, the Dunes Beach is clearly increasing; it's increasing by 5 ft per year. (I'm not sure what kinds of "patterns" you're looking for).

(b) Year 11 and 12; this is because here, Western is going from 78 to 76 ft and Dunes is going from 75 to 80, so they'll likely coincide sometime in that time interval.

(c) One thing you can do is to create equations (of the form y = mx + b) for each of the beaches and then set those linear equations equal to each other.

$500 = 80t

t = $500 ÷ 80
t = 6.25 years
