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.

The vertex of this parabola is at (-4,-1). When the y-value is 0, the xvalue is 2
yaroslaw [1]
The standard form for this parabola is x = a(y-k)^2 + h because this is a sideways-opening parabola. Our h and k values for the vertex are (-4, -1). And it goes through (2,0). We just need to solve for the a. Filling in accordingly, 2 = a(0+1)^2-4 so 2 = a - 4. a = 6. A above.

correct answer is 6!
