Answer:
d. H0: melanoma mortality rate is not linearly related to latitude
Ha: melanoma mortality rate is linearly related to latitude
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear regression equation is
y=α+βx where α=intercept and β=slope.
β=slope demonstrates the change in dependent variable due to unit change in independent variable.
If the slope is zero then we can say that Y and X are not linearly related.
Thus, the hypothesis for testing significance of linear relationship two variables can be written as
Null hypothesis: The two variables are not linearly related i.e. β=0
Alternative hypothesis : The two variables are linearly related i.e. β≠0.
Thus, in the given scenario the hypothesis are
H0: melanoma mortality rate is not linearly related to latitude
Ha: melanoma mortality rate is linearly related to latitude.
5x = 6x-7
subtract 6x from each side
-x=-7
x=7
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
-(7-4x)=9
-7+4x=9
4x=16
x=4
