Question

The concept of the integral arose from the need to calculate the area of a curved region. For example, calculating the area delimited by the region above the x-axis and below the graph of the function f(x) = x3 in a given limited interval is not such a simple task if we consider the knowledge acquired throughout basic education. But the definition of Definite Integral allows us to obtain this area precisely. Thus, given the function f(x) = x3, the area of the region below the graph of f, above the x-axis in the interval from 0 to 2 is equal to.

1. \ \text{Evaluate the definite integral of the function:}
A = \int_{0}^{2} x^3 \, dx

2. \ \text{Find the antiderivative of} \ x^3:
\int x^3 \, dx = \frac{x^4}{4}

3. \ \text{Apply the limits of integration} \ (0 \ \text{to} \ 2):
A = \left[ \frac{x^4}{4} \right]_{0}^{2}

4. \ \text{Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper limit (2) and lower limit (0):}
A = \frac{2^4}{4} - \frac{0^4}{4}

5. \ \text{Simplify the expression:}
A = \frac{16}{4} - 0

6. \ \text{Finish the calculation:}
A = 4

\text{Therefore, the area is} \ 4

The average weekly earnings in the leisure and hospitality industry group for a re‐ cent year was $273. A random sample of 40 workers showed weekly average ear‐ nings of $285 with the population standard deviation equal to 58. At the 0.05 level of significance can it be concluded that the mean differs from $273? Find a 95% con‐ fidence interval for the weekly earnings and show that it supports the results of the hypothesis test.
