An engineer who accidentally inhaled poisonous fumes was given treatment for it.
The concentration of poison in the engineer's blood was measured every hour.
The table below shows the record:

ug/ cm)
The data in the table can be modelled by h = a +b lIn C, where h is the number of
hours since the accident and C is the concentration of poison in the blood.
If the engineer is allowed to return to work when the concentration of poison falls
below 0.2, how many days must they wait to return to work? (Round your answer UP
to the nearest day).

1. Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag
of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly
assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water
until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the
balloons burst.
Here's the data:
Air (ft')
Water (ft)
0.52
0.44
0.58
0.41
0.50
0.55
0.46
0.61
0.38
0.45
Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than
water filled balloons?

The Wade Tract in Thomas County, Georgia, is an old-growth forest of longleaf pine trees (Pinus palustris) that has survived in a relatively undisturbed state since before the settlement of the area by Europeans. A study collected data on 584 of these trees. One of the variables measured was the diameter at breast height (DBH). This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet, and the units are centimeters (cm). Only trees with DBH greater than 1.5 cm were sampled. Here are the diameters of a random sample of 40 of these trees: PINES 27 10.5 13.3 26.0 18.3 52.2 9.2 26.1 17.6 40.5 31.8 47.2 11.4 2.7 69.3 44.4 16.9 35.7 5.4 44.2 2.2 4.3 7.8 38.1 2.2 11.4 51.5 4.9 39.7 32.6 51.8 43.6 2.3 44.6 31.5 40.3 22.3 43.3 37.5 29.1 27.9 (a) Find the five-number summary for these data.
