You and your friend get into an argument about how long the average adult can hold their breath. She claims it is 90 seconds. You disagree insisting that it must be less than that. You decide to sample 20 of your other friends to find out. The mean of this sample is 80 seconds with a standard deviation about 15 second
You decide to use the following hypotheses, where μ represents the mean time a person can hold their breath in seconds.
H0: μ = 90
Ha: μ < 90
Find the P-value of the test (express as a decimal rounded to 4 places).

Education officials in a particular state claim that their state
is especially effective in preparing students for college.
One
assessment of preparation for college is the mathematics part of
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-Math). Suppose that one
wanted to infer the population mean SAT-Math score for students in
this state using the mean of a simple random sample of
SAT-Math scores of students from this state, and one knew that the
population standard deviation σ = 100‡.
sample mean: 525...

Your friend is about to drive away after moving out and you notice that they left behind their basketball, so you decide to throw it at a 45 degree from the horizontal towards the truck. If the truck is 7.3 m away from you, at what speed must you throw the ball for it to make it into the truck? Assume you launch the ball at the same height as the truck bed. Report the value in m/s rounded to...
