Peter= x
Phil=3x
Implies that 4x=48 which means x=12
Implies that Phil has 36 rocks
36-12=
24 more rocks

Let x = the number of marbles for Phil
Then 3x = the number of marbles for Peter
Together they have 3x+x=48 or 4x=48 and x=12
So Phil has x = 12 marbles and Peter has 3x, let x = 12, 3(12) = 36 marbles.
Peter has 24 more marbles than Phil.

A researcher in environmental science is conducting a study to investigate the impact of a particular herbicide on fish. He has

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The herbicide has no impact on fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental research includes to divide the concerned group 'fishes' here into 'treatment' & 'control' group, to study impact of a treatment. Hypothesis test the statistical significance of propositions. Null hypothesis signifies no impact, alternate hypothesis signifies impact.

Let averages enzyme level of treatment & control be Xt & Xc

Null Hypothesis [H0] : Xt = Xc, or Xt - Xc = 0
Alternate Hypothesis [H1] : Xt ≠ Xc, or Xt - Xc ≠ 0

If hypothesis test suggests that there is no significant difference between treatment & control group enzyme level, so we reject H0 & accept H1. It implies that the herbicide has no significant impact on fishes enzymes.

Hitman42 [59]

The rejection region is give by

$|z_{test}|\ \textgreater \ z_{\alpha/2}$

where the test statistics is given by

$\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{980-1000}{100/\sqrt{75}} \\ \\ = \frac{-20}{100/8.6603} = \frac{-20}{11.5470} =-1.73$

i.e. $|z_{test}|=|-1.73|=1.73$

Thus, $z_{\alpha/2}=1.73$

Using the statistical table, the level of the test is 0.04.
