A local weather enthusiast wants to see if the last five summers have been warmer than normal for Eloy, Arizona. From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), he knows the 30-year average for July was 90° with a standard deviation of 2.1°. The last five summers recorded have an average of 93.5°. If he uses a = 5%, which of the following would be valid based on the data he has gathered?

If f(x)=2x-6 and g(x)=3x+9, find (f-g)(x)

Ling listed all of the factors of a mystery number: 1,2,4,8,16,32 what is the mystery number?

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
