Question
### Calculating Average Sales over a Given Period

#### Problem Statement

Annual sales (in millions of units) of a certain model of phone are expected to grow in accordance with the function:

\[ f(t) = 0.3t^2 + 0.14t + 5.1 \]

where \( t \) is measured in years, with \( t = 0 \) corresponding to the year 2018. 

**Question:** Which of the following integrals would be used to determine the **average** number of phones sold over the 4-year period from 2019 to 2023?

#### Given Options:

1. \[
\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{4} \left( 0.1t^3 + 0.07t^2 + 5.1t \right) dt
\]

2. \[
\frac{1}{4} \int_{1}^{5} \left( 0.3t^2 + 0.14t + 5.1 \right) dt
\]

3. \[
\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{4} \left( 0.3t^2 + 0.14t + 5.1 \right) dt
\]

4. \[
\frac{1}{4} \int_{2019}^{2023} \left( 0.3t^2 + 0.14t + 5.1 \right) dt
\]

#### Explanation:

To determine the average number of phones sold over a 4-year period from 2019 to 2023, we must calculate the integral of the sales function over that time period and then divide by the length of the period (which is 4 years).

Let's break down the options:

- **Option 1:** This integral \(\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{4} \left( 0.1t^3 + 0.07t^2 + 5.1t \right) dt\) is incorrect because it does not match the given function \( f(t) \).
  
- **Option 2:** This integral \(\frac{1}{4} \int_{1}^{5} \left( 0.3t^2 + 0.14t + 5.1 \right) dt\
