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.

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to the 70 degree angle is also 70 degrees.  We assume that there are four 90-degree angles in the center of the figure.  Thus, 8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 (the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees).

Solving  8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 for x:

              8x - 36 = 20, or 8x = 56.

Dividing both sides by 8 yields x = 7.

Which event has exactly 12 possible outcomes?
lara [203]

Answer:

rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and tossing a coin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will resolve each statement to determine the events that has exactly 12 possible outcomes.

N = number of possible outcomes for a cube

Nc = number of possible outcomes for a coin

Nca = number of possible outcomes for the cards

i. rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and then rolling the number cube again

Nt = N × N

N = 6 ( cube has 6 possible outcomes and its rolled twice)

Nt = 6 × 6 = 36

ii. tossing a coin and randomly choosing one of 4 different cards.

Nt = Nc × Nca

Nc = 2 ( coin has two outcomes)

Nca = 4 ( 4 possible cards )

B = 2 × 4 = 8

iii. rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and tossing a coin.

N = N × Nc

N = 6 ( cube has 6 possible outcomes)

Nc = 2 (coin has two faces)

N = 6 × 2 = 12 (correct)

Iv. tossing a coin 6 times.

N = Nc^6

Nc = 2

N = 2^6 = 64

Therefore, the correct answer is iii.

rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and tossing a coin.
