Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(x-1)² + (x-2)² = x²

x²-2x+1 + x²-4x+4 = x²

reduce:

2x²-6x+5 = x²

subtract x² from each side:

x²-6x+5 = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x=1 but because shorter leg would be 0, a triangle would be impossible.

x=5

Bond [772]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we are being told that:

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean temperature, μ, of 42°F

i. e  mean  μ = 42

The owner of the brewery does not agree with the refrigerator manufacturer, and claims he can prove that the true mean temperature is incorrect.

Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.

From above;

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

\mathbf{H_o : \mu  = 42} \\ \\ \mathbf {H_1 : \mu \neq 42}

Here , the hypothesis test of the claim is the alternative hypothesis.

The conclusion based on the decision rule:  is to reject the null hypothesis

∴

The conclusion in non technical terms is that :

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg
