Consolidated Power, a large electric power utility, has just built a modern nuclear power plant. This plant discharges waste wat

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

We conclude that the plant should shut down.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 60

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 61.498

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 6

a) First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis such that the power plant will be shut down when the null hypothesis is rejected.

$H_{0}: \mu \leq 60\\H_A: \mu > 60$

We use One-tailed(right) z test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{61.498 - 60}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{100}} } = 2.49$

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = 1.64$

Since,

$z_{stat} > z_{critical}$

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, the temperature of waste water discharged is greater than 60°F. We conclude that the power plant will shut down.

Calculating the p-value from the z-table:

P-value = 0.0063

Since,

P-value < Significance level

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, the temperature of waste water discharged is greater than 60°F. We conclude that the power plant will shut down.

Bob took his family out to lunch. He bought 3 hot dogs and 2 hamburgers for $11. If the guy in front of him bought 2 hot dogs an

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Hotdog: $1.50

Hamburger: $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You write down the 2 equations based off of the information as I did:

Let x = cost of a hotdog

Let y = cost of a hamburger

and so:

3x + 2y = 11

2x + 4y = 16

Now, we need to find x and y:

We will make both equations equal to y to compare them to each other.

2y = 11 - 3x

y = 5.5 - 1.5x

4y = 16 - 2x

y = 4 - 0.5x

4 - 0.5x = 5.5 - 1.5x

x = $1.5

Now plugging in x into the equation:

2(1.5) + 4y = 16

3 + 4y = 16

4y = 13

y = $3.25

And so hotdog = $1.5 and hamburger = $3.25

8+(3+4) rewrite using the associative property

Goshia [24]

The Associative Property allows you to "regroup" addition and multiplication problems. You can group this problem in two other ways,
(8 + 4) + 3 and (8 + 3) + 4.

Answer= (3 x b)+6

Because you multiply to find the total of the golf balls. Then you'll have to add 6.
