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 inverse, converse and contrapositive of a statement are used to determine the true values of the statement

<h3>How to determine the inverse, converse and contrapositive</h3>

As a general rule, we have:

If a conditional statement is: If p , then q .

Then:

  • Inverse -> If not p , then not q .
  • Converse -> If q , then p .
  • Contrapositive -> If not q , then not p .

Using the above rule, we have:

<u>Statement 1</u>

  • Inverse: If a parallelogram does not have a right angle, then it is not a rectangle.
  • Converse: If a parallelogram is a rectangle, then it has a right angle.
  • Contrapositive: If a parallelogram is a not rectangle, then it does not have a right angle.

All three statements above are true

<u>Statement 2</u>

  • Inverse: If two angles of one triangle are not congruent to two angles of another, then the third angles are not congruent.
  • Converse: If the third angles of two triangle are congruent, then the two angles are congruent to two angles of another
  • Contrapositive: If the third angles of two triangle are not congruent, then the two angles are not congruent to two angles of another

All three statements above are also true

a student bought a juice pouch for $2.50 and 3 bags of chips. the total cost was $5.05 write and solve an equation to determine
Wittaler [7]

First, write it as an equation

2.50+3x=5.05

Next, subtract 2.50 from both sides

2.50-2.50+3x=5.05-2.50

3x=2.55

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=2.55/3

x=0.85

The cost of a bag of chips is 0.85

hope i helped :D

What is the value of the expression 2 + 32 ⋅ (4 − 1)? <br> A: 24<br> B: 29 <br> C: 33 <br> D: 37
Paul [167]

For this case we have the following expression:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (4 - 1)

Rewriting the expression we have:

1) First we subtract the numbers within the parenthesis:

2 + 3 ^ 2 * (3)

2) Then, we solve the exponents:

2 + 9 * (3)

3) Then, multiplication:

2 + 27

4) Finally, the addition of numbers is made:

29

Answer:

the value of the expression is:

B: 29
