The use of linear and exponential models to predict growth patterns in science and medicine is not new. However, scientists and researchers continue to find new applications of the models to explain and predict growth patterns. Seiki Hamada and Makoto Takamiya of Japan have studied the growth patterns of a specific heart aneurism to better predict the estimated growth of an aneurism as well as to assist in determining when to recommend surgery.

Calibrating a scale: Making sure that the scales used by businesses in the United States are accurate is the responsibility of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Washington, D.C. Suppose that NIST technicians are testing a scale by using a weight known to weigh exactly 1000 grams. The standard deviation for scale reading is known to be a=2.0. They weigh this weight on the scale 55 times and read the result each time. The 55 scale readings have a sample mean of x = 1000.6 grams. The scale is out of calibration if the mean scale reading differs from 1000 grams. The technicians want to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the scale is out of calibration. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 calculator. Part: 0/4 Part 1 of 4 State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.
