Consolidated Power, a large electric power utility, has just built a modern nuclear power plant. This plant discharges waste wat

er that is allowed to flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ordered that the waste water may not be excessively warm so that thermal pollution of the marine environment near the plant can be avoided. Because of this order, the waste water is allowed to cool in specially constructed ponds and is then released into the ocean. This cooling system works properly if the mean temperature of waste water discharged is 60°F or cooler. Consolidated Power is required to monitor the temperature of the waste water. A sample of 100 temperature readings will be obtained each day, and if the sample results cast a substantial amount of doubt on the hypothesis that the cooling system is working properly (the mean temperature of waste water discharged is 60°F or cooler), then the plant must be shut down and appropriate actions must be taken to correct the problem.(a)Consolidated Power wishes to set up a hypothesis test so that the power plant will be shut down when the null hypothesis is rejected. Set up the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha that should be used.H0: μ (select) 60 versus Ha: μ (select) 60.(b)Suppose that Consolidated Power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05 and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. If the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is formula310.mml = 61.498, test H0 versus Ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. Perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. Assume σ = 6. (Round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)z =p-value =(Select: Reject or Do not reject) H0. So the plant (Select: Should or Should not) shut down and the cooling system repaired.

Answer:

We conclude that the plant should shut down.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 60

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 61.498

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 6

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  such that the power plant will be shut down when the null hypothesis is rejected.

H_{0}: \mu \leq 60\\H_A: \mu > 60

We use One-tailed(right) z test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{61.498 - 60}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{100}} } = 2.49

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.64

Since,  

z_{stat} > z_{critical}

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, the temperature of waste water discharged is greater than 60°F. We conclude that the power plant will shut down.

Calculating the p-value from the z-table:

P-value = 0.0063

Since,

P-value < Significance level

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, the temperature of waste water discharged is greater than 60°F. We conclude that the power plant will shut down.

Consider an arbitrary ellipse x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1. (Assume a, b &gt; 0.) (a) Find a parametrization of the ellipse using the d
uysha [10]

Answer:

α(t) = (-a*Sin(t), b*Cos (t))    where t ∈ [0, 2π]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an arbitrary ellipse (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1       (a, b > 0)

The parametrization can be as follows

x = -a*Sin(t)

y = b*Cos (t)

then

α(t) = (-a*Sin(t), b*Cos (t))    where t ∈ [0, 2π]

If  t = 0

α(0) = (-a*Sin(0), b*Cos (0)) = (0, b)

If  t = π/2

α(π/2) = (-a*Sin(π/2), b*Cos (π/2)) = (-a, 0)

If  t = π

α(π) = (-a*Sin(π), b*Cos (π)) = (0, -b)

If  t = 3π/2

α(3π/2) = (-a*Sin(3π/2), b*Cos (3π/2)) = (a, 0)

If  t = 2π

α(2π) = (-a*Sin(2π), b*Cos (2π)) = (0, b)

We can see the sketch in the pic.
