Question
How is the distance from the sun for planets in our solar system related to the mean temperature of each planet? To find out, a
Based on the scatterplot and computer output, a reasonable estimate of mean temperature in Kelvin for Saturn, which is 886.7 million miles away from the sun is:
4.822 degrees Kelvin because ŷ = −0.4536(In 886.7) + 7.9009 = 4.822.
124.2 degrees Kelvin because and e4.822 = 124.2.
709.0 degrees Kelvin because and e6.564 = 709.0.
0.05 degrees Kelvin because and e−3.008 = 0.0494.

In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 02 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is appraximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level af significance, to support that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Cy.

The data set included the type of pitch thrown (curveball, changeup, slider, etc.) as well as the speed of the ball as it left the pitcher's hand. A histogram of speeds for all 30,740 four-seam fastballs thrown by these pitchers during the 2009 season is shown below, from which we can see that the speeds of these fastballs follow a Normal model with mean u = 92.12 mph and a standard deviation of o = 2.43 mph. 85 90 95 100 speed (mph) Compute the z-score of pitch with speed 99 mph.
