An initial investment of $100 is now valued at $150. the annual interest rate is 5%, compounded continuously. the equation 100e0.05t = 150 represents the situation, where t is the number of years the money has been invested. about how long has the money been invested? use your calculator and round to the nearest whole number. years

(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.)
