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.

The length of a rectangle is given by the function l(x)=2x+1, and the width of the rectangle is given by the function w(x)=x+4.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

a(x)=2x^2+9x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the length and width, as well as the formula to find the area:

Length: 2x + 1

Width: x + 4

A = l * w

A = (2x + 1)(x + 4)

2x^2 + 8x + x + 4

We can add like terms now:

2x^2 + 9x + 4

Our area is 2x^2 + 9x + 4

Our answer would be a(x)=2x^2+9x+4

29 — 6x=5(1 – 6x)<br> Please show me the steps
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

x= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>START</em></u> 29 - 6x = 5(1 - 6x)

1.  Distribute

29 - 6x = 5 - 30x

2. Isolate the variable

~ <u>2a</u>. Add 30x to both sides

29 - 6x + 30x = 5 - 30x + 30x

~ <u>2b</u>. Subtract 29 from both sides

29 - 29 - 6x + 30x = 5 - 29 - 30x + 30x

3. Simplify

24x = -24

4. Solve

x = -1

<em><u>END</u></em>
