Box, Hunter, and Hunter have analyzed the dispersion of an aerosol spray as a function of its age. The dispersion y is measured as the reciprocal of the number of particles in a unit volume. Age x is measured in minutes. The experiments were performed in random order, but their results are listed here in increasing order of x:

Age, x	Dispersion, y
8	6.16
22	9.88
35	14.35
40	24.06
57	30.34
73	32.17
78	42.18
87	43.23
98	48.76

Find a 95% prediction interval estimate of the dispersion for an individual aerosol

spray of age 90.

Which of the interval in h) and i) is the widest? Explain why.

Find the correlation coefficient.

Two students in your class, Hunter and Maggie, are disputing a function. Hunter says that for the function, between x = –2 and x = 2, the average rate of change is 0. Maggie says that for the function, between x = –2 and x = 2, the graph goes up through a turning point, and then back down. Explain how Hunter and Maggie can both be correct, using complete sentences.

Crime scene investigators have determined that an acrylic spray paint (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) was used to deface the Mona Lisa. Leonardo used linseed oil. We would like a solvent that interacts more strongly with acrylic than with linseed oil. Based on their chemical structures, we can approximate the SSCED parameters of linseed oil as n-hexadecane and acrylic paint as methylethylketone. Do you recommend CHCl_3, toluene, or acetone as the solvent? Explain.

Assume that you have a box of resistors that have a Gaussian distribution of resistances with mean µ = 100 Ω and standard deviation σ = 20 Ω (i.e., 20% resistors). Suppose that you wish to form a subgroup of resistors with µ = 100 Ω and standard deviation 5 Ω (i.e., 5% resistors) by selecting all resistors with resistance between the two limits r1 = µ−a and r2 = µ+a.
