Chapter 12.2, Problem 68AYU

Old Faithful Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park named for its regular eruption pattern. Past data indicated that the average time between eruptions is 1 hr 35 m.

Suppose rangers log the first eruption on a given day at 12 : 57 am. Using a 1 = 57 , write a prediction formula for the sequence of eruption times that day in terms of the number of minutes after midnight.

At what time of day (e.g., 7 : 15 am) is the 10 th eruption expected to occur?

At what time of day is the last eruption expected to occur?

Joey planted a tree in his yard. At the time of planting the tree was three years old and measured 0.29 m in height. Joey kept track of how the tree was growing over an eight year span and collected the data in the following table: Age of Tree (years) Height (m) 0.29 4. 0.53 1.62 6. 2.47 219 1.62 6. 2.47 3.18 8. 4.06 Determine the natural logarithm function in the form h(t) = a + bln(t), where h(t), in meters, after time, t, in years. Round the a and b values to the nearest hundredth. How long will it take for the tree to reach at least 10m? Round your answer to the nearest whole year.

arget's annual revenue data from 2005 to 2021 are available for download. Make an Excel graph of the annual data, and fit three trends (linear, quadratic, and exponential) to the time series. Copy and paste the graph in the space below or attach the file. State the three trendline equations from part a and their R2 values. Which trend model do you think is the best one to use to forecast annual revenue? Choose only one model and explain the reasons for your choice. Use the model you chose in part c to forecast the annual revenue for 2022.
