Answer:
The differential equation is
Step-by-step explanation:
Differential equation for the rate of change in radiation level:
Radiation level is R.
Rate of change indicates that the radiation level R varies in function of time t, which mathematically means that we have:
After the reactor is shut down, the radiation from the nitrogen-17 decreases in such a way that the rate of change in the radiation level is directly proportional to the radiation level.
Rate of change is k. Decreases means that k is negative. Proportional to the radiation level of R means that -k multiplies R. So the differential equation is:

Answer:
The value of the test statistic is
Step-by-step explanation:
Before finding the test statistic, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Sample 1:
Sample 2:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, is the value tested at the null hypothesis, and s is the standard error.
0 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that
Distribution of the difference:
