Can you help me pl2s

Barbara deposited $300 in the bank. if the bank pays her simple interest at the rate of 4 percent per year, how much money will she have in her account at the end of 9 months?

Can someone factor this fully? my friend and i have two different answers and i would like to know if either of them is right. you in advance. a^2 - b^2 + 25 + 10a

(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.)
