A truck driver is driving from Nome, Alaska to Death Valley, California. Because he is traveling between locations with extreme

temperatures, he needs to check the weather continuously to make sure the gas in his truck remains in liquid form. The gas he uses freezes at −40° F and evaporates at 140° F. Part A: Write an inequality to represent the temperatures at which the gas in the truck will remain in liquid form. (2 points) Part B: Describe the graph of the inequality completely from Part A. Use terms such as open/closed circles and shading directions. Explain what the solutions to the inequality represent. (4 points) Part C: In January 1989, the temperature in Nome, Alaska dropped to −49° F. Would the gas in the driver's truck have remained in liquid form so he could have driven on this day? Why or why not? (4 points)
I need part b

Also I need it asap please and thanks

The inequality to represent the temperatures at which the gas in the truck will remain in liquid form is -40 < x < 140

<h3>Part A: The inequality</h3>

Let the temperature of the gas be represented with x.

When the temperature hits −40° F (or below), the gas freezes.

This means that the gas temperature must always exceed −40° F to remain being a liquid

i.e x > −40

Also, when the temperature hits 140° F (or above), the gas evaporates.

This means that the gas temperature must always be less than 140° F to remain being a liquid

i.e x < 140

So, we have:

x > −40 and x < 140

Rewrite as:

-40 < x and x < 140

Combine both inequalities

-40 < x < 140

Hence, the inequality to represent the temperatures at which the gas in the truck will remain in liquid form is -40 < x < 140

<h3>Part B: The description of the graph</h3>

In (a), we have:

-40 < x < 140

The end points of the inequalities use a less than sign.

Less than signs are represented by open circle.

Hence, the graph would use an open circle, and intervals between -40 and 140 would be shaded

<h3>Part C: Would −49° F gas remained in liquid form?</h3>

We have:

-40 < x < 140

The number -49 is not in the range -40 < x < 140

Hence, the gas would not remain in liquid form (in fact, it would freeze because it is less than -40)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}} - \frac{3}{ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} } = \\ = \frac{4( \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} ) - 3( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2} ) }{( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2} )\times ( \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{2} )} = \\ = \frac{4 \sqrt{5} - 4 \sqrt{2} - 3 \sqrt{5} - 3 \sqrt{2} }{5 - \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10} - 2 } = \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{5} - 7 \sqrt{2} }{3}$

The USDA conducted tests for salmonella in produce grown in California. In an independent sample of 252 cultures obtained from w

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife
