The Chesapeake Bay covers about 2.9 million acres. Each acre of the bay can hold up to seven hundred fifty thousand oysters. If each oyster can filter up to fifty gallons per day and the bay has at least fifteen trillion gallons of water, could there ever be enough oysters to filter all of the bay’s water in one day? Explain what factors may affect your answer.

(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.)
