A philanthropic organization helped a town in Africa dig several wells to gain access to clean water. Before the wells were in place, an average of 120 infants contracted typhoid each month. After the wells were installed, the philanthropic organization surveyed for nine months and found an average of 90 infants contracted typhoid per month. Assume that the population standard deviation is 40 and the number of infants that contract typhoid is normally distributed.

a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the average number of infants that contract typhoid has decreased since the wells were put in place.

b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.

c. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the number of babies falling ill due to typhoid has decreased? Explain.

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria.the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time.create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.
