ulation 2). Previous studies indicate no difference in the ages of the two audiences. (The mean age of each audience is the same.) Lucy plans to test this hypothesis using a random sample of 100 from each audience. Her alternate hypothesis is ____________.

Answer:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

 Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the claim that they want to test is: "The means for the two groups (American Idol and 60 Minutes) is the same". So we want to check if we have significant differences between the two means, so this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis and on the null hypothesis we need to have the complement of the alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

This null hypothesis can be expressed like this:

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 = \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

The product the lies between__and__. 3×3/4?
cupoosta [38]
Saying 3/4 * 3 is the same thing as saying 3/4 of 3. Imagine you have 3 pies, each cut into 4 slices. That would be 3 * 4 = 12 slices of pie, right?
So when there's 12 slices, that would be 4/4 of the pies, since all the pieces are there.
To find out how many pies we would have with 3/4 of the pie left, we just need to multiply the original equation.

3 * 3/4 = 2 1/4

The product of those two numbers lies between 2 and 3.
Hope that helped =)

Find the surface area of the attached figure and round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

S.A = 246.6 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given above is a square pyramid, having a square base and 4 triangular faces on the sides that are of the same dimensions.

Surface area of the square pyramid is given as: B.A + \frac{1}{2}*P*L

Where,

B.A = Base Area of the pyramid = 9*9 = 81 in²

P = perimeter of the base = 4(9) = 36 in

L = slant height of pyramid = 9.2 in

Plug in the values into the given formula to find the surface area

S.A = 81 + \frac{1}{2}*36*9.2

= 81 + 18*9.2

= 81 + 165.6

S.A = 246.6 in^2
