Two friends board an airliner just before departure time. There are only 12 seats left, 3 of which are aisle seats. How many ways can the 2 people arrange themselves in available seats so that at least one of them sits on the aisle?

(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.)
