1. The department of nature resources reports that a fish is unsafe to eat if the polychlorinated biphenol (PCB) concentration e

xceeds 4.0 parts billion (ppb). 10 fish were taken randomly from a local lake and the value of the PCB concentration for each fish was measured. The data are listed blow. 2.9 7.6 4.8 5.2 5.1 4.7 6.9 4.9 3.7 3.8 Let µ = the true mean value of the PCB concentration for all the fish in the lake. We want to test to determine whether the fish from this lake should not be eaten. Write down the null and alternative hypotheses

Answer:

H0 rejected as μ>4

and a fish is unsafe to eat from the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Let the null hypothesis be  H0 : mu ≤4 against the alternate Ha: mu > 4 ppb

H0: μ ≤4   against the claim Ha:  μ>4

2) X`= ∑x/ n= 2.9 +7.6+ 4.8+ 5.2+ 5.1+ 4.7+ 6.9+ 4.9+ 3.7+ 3.8/10

= 49.6/10= 4.96

The standard deviation can be calculated  sigma= 1.344767 ( using statistic calculator)

3) The significance level is taken to be  ∝=0.05

The value of z at 0.05 for 1 sided test is z >± 1.645

i.e the critical region is less than - 1.645 and greater than +1.645

4) Taking the distribution to be approximately normal

Z= x`- u / s/ √n

Z= 4.96-4/ 1.345/10

Z= 4.96-4/ 1.345/3.1622

Z= 0.96/0.4253

Z= 2.257

5) Since the calculated value of z = 2.257 falls in the critical region we reject our null hypothesis and conclude that true mean value of the PCB concentration is greater than 4 (ppb) and that a fish is unsafe to eat from the lake.

Joe charges 5 dollar to wash each floor, How many floors does joe need to wash to make at least $32?
Elza [17]
Divide 32 by 5, you get 6.4
You can’t have 6.4 floor washes, so round down to 6.

Answer is 6 floor washes. I hope that helps!

The graph below illustrates the linear function of how the total amount that a landscaper charges for a job changes depending on
liberstina [14]

First, given graph is very inaccurate. I suppose that you made net with pen.

a) The slope is the angle ( tan∡) between your graph and x axis.

The slope represent the level of the earnings growth.

b) According to the given graph y-intercept= 30$

Y-intercept represent starting amount of money.

c) If we accept that y=70 is connected with x=2 and y=30 with x=0

The  slope is S= (70-30)/2= 40/2=20

Linear equation for this function is

y= 20x+30

d) When we replace y=300$ in the equation we get

20x+30=300 => 20x=300-30 => 20x=270 => x=270/20=13.5h

x=13.5h

Good luck!!!

What are some ways you can make a rectangle 10,000 cm squared (I NEED A AWNSER QUICK)​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

2 longer sides would be 4000 each, so that's 8000 total

and the 2 shorter sides could be 1000 each, so that's 2000 total

8000+2000=10,000

Solve x and y please need it for tomorrow
Evgen [1.6K]
Solve for x by cross multiplying then isolating the variable:
\frac{9}{15}= \frac{x}{10}                     cross multiply
15x=90                     Isolate the variable
x=6
Solve for y by cross multiplying then isolating the variable:
\frac{9}{15} = \frac{6}{y}          cross multiply
9y=90               Isolate the variable
y=10
