Sadie is 3 years older than Kareem, and Kareem is twice as old as Nadra. The sum of their ages is 33.
A student used the steps below to find each person’s age.

Step 1-Write an equation, letting x represent Kareem’s age:
(x + 3) + x + 2 x = 33
Step 2-Solve the equation:
(x + 3) + x + 2 x = 33. 3 + 4 x = 33. 4 x = 30. x = 7 1/2.
Step 3-Sadie is 10 1/2, Kareem is 7 1/2, and Nadra is 3 3/4.

Which corrects the student’s first error?
1. In Step 1, the student should have used One-half x to represent Nadra’s age, and written the equation (x + 3) + x +1/2x = 33.
2. In Step 2, the student should have added 3 on both sides of the equation to find a solution of x = 9.
3. In Step 3, the solution represents Sadie’s age. Therefore, Sadie is 7 1/2, Kareem is 4 1/2, and Nadra is 2 1/4.
4. In Step 3, Nadra’s age is the difference between 33 and Sadie’s and Kareem’s ages, so Nadra is 15.

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
