5. The Gardner Theater, a community playhouse, needs to determine the lowest-cost production budget for an upcoming show. Specifically, they have to determine which set pieces to construct and which, if any, set pieces to rent from another local theater at a predetermined fee. However, the organization has only two weeks to fully construct the set before the play goes into technical rehearsals. The theater has two part-time carpenters who work up to 12 hours a week, each at $10 an hour. Additionally, the theater has a part-time scenic artist who can work 15 hours per week to paint the set and props as needed at a rate of $15 per hour. The set design requires 20 flats (walls), two hanging drops with painted scenery, and three large wooden tables (props). The number of hours required for each piece for carpentry and painting is shown below:

Flats, hanging drops, and props can also be rented at a cost of $75, $500, and $350 each, respectively. How many of each unit should be built by the theater and how many should be rented to minimize total costs?

  1. Construct a 95% confidence interval using the above data.  Please do this “by hand” using the formula and showing your work (please type your work).  Use your t-table (found in the last page of our formula packet) to obtain your t* critical value needed for the confidence interval.  Present this confidence as (lower limit, upper limit).

  1. Imagine you were using a hypothesis test to determine if a significant difference exists in mean price between the two stores (the hypotheses would be H0: mD= 0 vs Ha: mD≠0).  What conclusion can be made in this case using only your confidence interval? Provide an answer and a reason for your choice in one or two sentences.  Again, please only use your confidence interval to answer this question (i.e. do not run this hypothesis test).
