The weight of full–grown tomatoes at a farm is modeled by a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 18.4 grams. the 95 percent confidence interval for the mean weight of the tomatoes is calculated using a sample of 100 tomatoes. what is the margin of error (half the width of the confidence interval)?

Saline iv fluid bags cost $64.20 for 24, 1000 ml bags from one supplier. a new supplier sells 500 ml bags for $2 each. the hospital uses about 10,000, 1000 ml bags each month. nurses report that about half of the bags are more than half full when they are discarded. if you are going to use only one supplier, which size bag provides the best deal, and how much will you save each month? compare the cost of the new supplier to the current one.

A. plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 9 x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) -4 -2 0 2 4 b. which function could be described as exponential and which as linear? explain. c. if the functions continue with the same pattern, will the function values ever be equal? if so, give estimates for the value of x that will make the function values equals. if not, explain why the function values will never be equal.
