The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.

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

Gemiola [76]

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.
