Answer:
There is enough evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean amount of time to assemble the Meat Man barbecue is not equal to 10 minutes (P-value=0.009).
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to perform an hypothesis test on the mean.
The null and alternative hypothesis are:
The significance level is 
.
The test statistic t can be calculated as:
The degrees of freedom are:
The P-value (two-tailed test) for t=2.737 and df=49 is P=0.00862.
This P-value (0.009) is smaller than the significance level, so the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to make the conclusion that the population mean amount of time to assemble the Meat Man barbecue is not equal to 10 minutes.
<h2>Answer:
y = - ¹/₂ x OR y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2) </h2>
<h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3>
For us to write the equation for this line, we need to (1) find the slope of the line, and (2) use one of the points to write an equation:
The question gives us two points, (-2, 1) and (-8, 4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
<u>Finding the Slope </u>
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (4 - 1) ÷ (-8 - (-2))
= - ¹/₂
<u>Finding the Equation</u>
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
⇒ y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x - (-2))
∴ y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)
we could also transform this into the slope-intercept form ( y = mx + c)
since y - 1 = - ¹/₂ (x + 2)
⇒ y = - ¹/₂ x
