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.

Which point is not on the graph represented by y=x^2+2x-4
Illusion [34]
(-6,20) \\
x=-6 \\ y=20 \\ \Downarrow \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} (-6)^2+2 \times (-6)-4 \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} 36-12-4 \\
20 \stackrel{?}{=} 20 \\
20 = 20 \\
\hbox{the point is on the graph}

(-4,4) \\
x=-4 \\ y=4 \\ \Downarrow \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} (-4)^2+2 \times (-4)-4 \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} 16-8-4 \\
4 \stackrel{?}{=} 4 \\
4 = 4 \\
\hbox{the point is on the graph}

Both points are on the graph.

Mr. Moretti is making welcome bags to give to the 18 students in his homeroom on the first day of school he puts m mechanical pe
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The total number of pencils is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario, the computation of the total number of pencils is as follows:

There are 18 students

And let us assume there is m mechanical pencils that put in each bag

also he put twice of the regular pencil

So if he put the 3 mechanical pencil

So, the total number of pencils is

= 3 × 2

= 6

As it twice of the regular pencil

hence, the  total number of pencils is 6

!!50 POINTS!! Better Buy?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The best buy item is the Frito-Lay mi Variety Pack. Going for only 0.35 per item.

Step-by-step explanation:

All I did was the equations and then I compared the answer, the lowest answer is the best buy since it is the lowest price found.

Frito-Lay:

9.88/28 = 0.35

Unit rate is 35 cents

Pringles:

6.48/18 = 0.36

Unit rate is 36 cents
Pack of 18:

11.21/18 = 0.6

Unit rate is 60 cents

Pack of 24:

15.85/24 = 0.66

Unit rate is 66 cents

GC:

14.75/30 = 0.49

Unit rate is 49 cents

Sweet Treats:

10.75/25 = 0.43

Unit rate is 43 cents

Comparing all of this data, it can easily be seen that the Frito-Lay mi Variety Pack is the best deal you can find out of these 6 deals.
