A potential problem is that you are willing to accept a <u>5% </u>chance of being wrong if you reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that there is a difference when there is actually no difference. Rejecting the true null hypothesis results in a Type I error.

The smaller the value of α the more difficult it is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choosing a low value for α can reduce the likelihood of Type I errors. The result here is that if the null hypothesis is false, it may be more difficult to reject using a lower value for α. The alpha value or statistical significance threshold is arbitrary. Which value to use depends on your field of study.

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Q = 169 BTU

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

V = 12 Fl oz

so it is given in liter as

V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr

V = 2.13 ltr

so its mass is given as

m = 2.13 kg

now the change in temperature is given as

\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF

\Delta T = 20^oC

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

Q = 2.13(4186)(20)

Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J

Q = 169 BTU

How many neutrons does element X have if it’s atomic number is 28 and it’s mass number is 81?
labwork [276]

Well let’s put it this way. To find the neutrons you subtract the atomic atomic Nuremberg from the atomic mass. So

Mass=81-Number=28

81-28=53

Final answer is 53.
