The owners of an industrial plant want to determine which of two types of fuel (gas or electricity) will produce more useful energy at a lower cost. The cost is measured by plant investment per delivered quad ($ invested /quadrillion BTUs). The smaller this number, the less the industrial plant pays for delivered energy. Suppose we wish to determine if there is a difference in the average investment/quad between using electricity and using gas. Our null and alternative hypotheses would be:

Which elements in the set are integers? –8, 3⁄4, √ 18 , 0, √ 16 , 5, –2⁄7, 6 a. –8, 0, 5, 6 b. –8, 0, √ 16 , 5, 6 c. 3⁄4, √ 18 , √ 16 , 5, –2⁄7 d. –8, 0, √ 18 , 5, 6

Suppose you are analyzing the relationship between time and distance given in a table, and there are 4 values for each quantity. you divide distance 2 minus distance 1 by time 2 minus time 1.you then divide distance 4 minus distance 3 by time 4 minus time 3 and get a different answer. what can you say about the relationship?

Data on oxide thickness of semiconductors are as follows: 426 432 418 418 421 436 418 408 431 435 423 426 411 434 435 432 411 426 407 439 422 426 412 416 consider this data as a sample of the population. (a) calculate a point estimate of the mean oxide thickness for all wafers in the population. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) (b) calculate a point estimate of the standard deviation of oxide thickness for all wafers in the population. (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) (c) calculate the standard error of the point estimate from part (a). (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) (d) calculate a point estimate of the median oxide thickness for all wafers in the population. (express your answer to 1 decimal places.) (e) calculate a point estimate of the proportion of wafers in the population that have oxide thickness greater than 430 angstrom. (round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
