Problem 3: The equation e=-615m+32,000 describes the elevation (e) of a plane in feet, m minutes after it began to descend toward the runway. Which of the following best describes the meaning of the number -615 in the equation?

(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.)
