You've got a formula. If the two endpoints are

and

, then the length is

. The result is

.
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x - 4 = -4(x + 2)
Distribute
-4x -4 = -4x -8
Add 4x to each side
-4x+4x - 4 = -4x+4x -8
-4 = -8
This is never true so there is no solution
Answer:
The null and alternative hypotheses are:


Under the null hypothesis, the test statistic is:




Therefore, the test-statistic is 
Now the F critical value at 0.02 significance level for df1 = 10- 1 =9 and df2 = 16 - 1 =15 is:

Since F statistic is greater than the F critical value, we therefore, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the variation in the listening times for men and women.
