Answer #1

Greenwhich siderail time 23h 51m 3.11s

Betelgeuse is on the meridian   RA = 5h 55m 10.30s

difference from Greenwhich = 6h 4m 7.19s

1h = 15 deg

1m = 1/4 deg

1s = 1/240 deg

longitude of the location = 6*15 + 4*1/4 + 7.19/240

                                        = 91.03 deg West of Greenwhich

Polaris declination = 890 15' 50.8" = 89.264 deg

      Polaris is seen at 29 .65 deg

lattitude of the location = 89.264 - 29.65 = 59.614 0 N

The location is 59.614 0 N 91.03 o W

Mean entry-level salaries for college graduates with mechanical engineering degrees and electrical engineering degrees are believed to be approximately the same. A recruiting office thinks that the mean mechanical engineering salary is actually lower than the mean electrical engineering salary. The recruiting office randomly surveys 50 entry level mechanical engineers and 52 entry level electrical engineers. Their mean salaries were $46,200 and $46,700, respectively. Their standard deviations were $3440 and $4230, respectively. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level...
