2. A newspaper started an online version of its paper 14 years ago. In a recent presentation to stockholders, the lead marketing executive states that the revenues for online ads have more than doubled that of the revenues for printed ads since starting the online version of the paper.
A. Use the graph below to justify the lead executive’s statement.
B. Determine the approximate year that the two ad revenues were equal.
A. To justify the lead executive's statement, we can use the graph below to compare the revenues for online ads with the revenues for printed ads over time.

Unfortunately, since you haven't provided an actual graph, I am unable to use it to justify the executive's statement. However, in a general sense, if the graph shows an increasing trend for online ad revenues compared to printed ad revenues over the years, it would support the executive's claim of online ad revenues exceeding printed ad revenues.
B. To determine the approximate year when the two ad revenues were equal, we need data that shows the specific revenue figures for both online and printed ads over time. Without this data, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of the year when the ad revenues were equal. However, if you have the revenue figures for both online and printed ads for different years, we can analyze the data to find the approximate year when they were equal.
To perform this analysis, take the revenue figures for online and printed ads for each year and compare them. Look for the year when the revenue figures for both types of ads are closest to each other. This would indicate the approximate year when the revenues were equal. However, keep in mind that this estimation will be based on available data points and may not be exact.
Overall, to accurately determine the year when the two ad revenues were equal, you would need the specific revenue figures for both online and printed ads for each year.
