a)

In a two-digit number the units' digit is 7 more than the tens' digit. the number with digits reversed is three times as large as the sum of the original number and the two digits. find the number.

(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.)

Cole says the distance between points (-5,0) and (0,-5)is 5 units. is he correct? explain why or why not.
