ANSWER

Emma is 44" tall

EXPLANATION

We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.

At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.

Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.

Let Emma's height be x.

The ratio of David's shadow to height is:

42 : 66 or 42 / 66

For Emma, it is:

28 : x or 28 / x

That means that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{42}{66}\text{ = }\frac{28}{x} \\ \text{Solve for x by cross-multiplying:} \\ 42\cdot\text{ x = 66 }\cdot\text{ 28} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{66\cdot\text{ 28}}{42} \\ x\text{ = 44 inches} \end{gathered}

So, Emma is 44" tall.

Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes mice to find their way through a maze. The mean time is 1
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h3>Option c) H_a:\mu is correct</h3><h3>The alternate hypothesis for the significance test is H_a:\mu</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternate hypothesis use the sumbol for the population value

Let p be the proportion , Mean be \mu and stadard deviation be \sigma

The null hypothesis states that population value is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim.

H_0:\mu=18 (by given).

The alternate hypothesis for the significance test states that the opposite of the null hypothesis(based on the claim )

∴ H_a:\mu

The symbol "<" because we want to test if the maze is completed faster and thus if the time has decreased.

<h3>∴ option c) H_a:\mu is correct.</h3>
