1. Define the variables and write the equations for total cost and revenue:

\text{Total cost} = 20x + 2000

\text{Revenue} = 30x

2. Set the profit equation to zero and solve for $ x $:

30x - (20x + 2000) = 0

30x - 20x - 2000 = 0

10x - 2000 = 0

10x = 2000

x = 200

3. Therefore, the number of radios needed to earn zero profit is:

200

We plan to test whether the mean mRNA expression level differs between two strains of yeast, for each of 8,000 genes. We will measure the expression levels of each gene, in n samples of strain 1 and m samples of strain 2. We plan to compute a P-value for each gene, using an unpaired two-sample t-test for each gene (the particular type of test does not matter). a) What are the null hypotheses in these tests (in words)?
