Let μ denote the true average radioactivity level(picocuries per liter). The value 5 pCi/L is considered thedividing line betwee

n safe and unsafe water. Would you recommend testing H0: μ = 5 vs Ha: μ > 5 or H0: μ =5 vs Ha: μ < 5?

Answer:

H0: μ = 5 versus Ha: μ < 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

μ = true average radioactivity level(picocuries per liter)

5 pCi/L = dividing line between safe and unsafe water

The recommended test here is to test the null hypothesis, H0: μ = 5 against the alternative hypothesis Ha: μ < 5.

A type I error, is an error where the null hypothesis, H0 is rejected when it is true.

We know type I error can be controlled, so safer option which is to test H0: μ = 5 vs Ha: μ < 5 is recommended.

Here, a type I error involves declaring the water is safe when it is not safe. A test which ensures that this error is highly unlikely is desirable because this is a very serious error. We prefer that the most serious error be a type I error because it can be explicitly controlled.

Which of the following is the graph of y = 4x + 3?
Neporo4naja [7]
The graph shown is not the correct graph. The graph of y =4x + 3 will have a y-intercept of 3, meaning it will pass through the point (0, 3). It will also have a slope of 4, so the graph will be a line pointing upward rather steeply. 
It will pass through the following points:
(-2, -5) ,(-1,-1), (1, 7), (2, 11), (3, 15).

How many x intercepts appear on the graph of this polynomial function?
MArishka [77]
f (x) = x ^ 4-x ^ 3 + x ^ 2-x 
 For this case what we can do is graph the function and see the behavior of it.
 We have then that the function grows upwards (see attached image)
 It has two cutting points with the x axis in:
 x = 0
 x = 1
 Therefore, the other roots of the polynomial are imaginary.
 Answer:
 2 x intercepts appear on the graph of this polynomial function
