(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
     28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
     24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
     24/2 = p....simplify
     12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week

2. a. A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

A. -12 meters

B. 28 meters

C. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of the ocean would be 0.

Taking this into account, 12 meters below would be 0 - 12, which is -12. Therefore A's elevation would be -12.

For the sea bird, 28 meters above the surface, which is again 0, would be 0 + 28. B's elevation is 28.

Since the fish is 12 meters below the surface and the sea bird is 28 meters above the surface, simply add the two numbers up to get a total of 40 meters. C would be 40 meters.

The tuft bind strength of a synthetic material used to make carpets is known to have a mean of 100 lb and standard deviation of
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is: H_{0}: \mu = 100

The alternative hypothesis is: H_{a}: \mu > 100

Step-by-step explanation:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is equal to a certain value.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean is less than, more than, or different from the value tested at the null hypothesis.

The tuft bind strength of a synthetic material used to make carpets is known to have a mean of 100 lb and standard deviation of 20 lb.

This means that the null hypothesis is: H_{0}: \mu = 100

Could it be that the average tuft strength is above 100 lb?

The world above means that the appropriate alternative hypothesis is: H_{a}: \mu > 100
