A week of adventure often starts at the airport or in the family car. Any news about falling gasoline or air ticket prices is, therefore, good news. Crude oil is used to make both gasoline and jet fuel. Sometimes we hear big news that the price of crude is going down, but the price at the pump seems stubborn to stay the same. News reporters tell us, however, that as the price of crude goes down, the less gasoline will eventually cost at the pump. These same reporters exclaim that it is only a matter of time before plane fares begin to plummet as well. Does history confirm these claims?

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria.the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time.create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

The weights of players in a basketball league are distributed normally. the distance (d) of each player's weight (w) from the mean of 86 kilograms was computed as follows: d = |w - 86| if d is greater than 7 for approximately 5% of the players, what is the approximate standard deviation of the players' weights? a. 1.75 kilograms b. 3.5 kilograms c. 4.3 kilograms d. 7 kilograms
