Answer:
C) more than the absolute value of the critical value, we can conclude that the average monthly rate for an assisted-living facility is not equal to $3,300.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Interest hypothesizes is " the average monthly rate for one-bedroom assisted-living facility is equal to $3300" symbolically: μ = 3300
The study variable is:
X: Monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted-living facility.
Since there is no information about the distribution of the variable, to be able to study the population mean, I'll assume that the variable has a normal distribution.
The hypothesis is:
H₀: μ = 3300
H₁: μ ≠ 3300
α: 0.05
The statistic to use, considering that there is no known population information and the sample size, is a Student t:
t= <u> X[bar] - μ </u> ~
S/√n
n= 12
X[bar]= $3690
S= $530
Using the sample data, calculate the statistic value:
t= <u> 3690 - 3300 </u> = 2.549
530/√12
The rejection region for this test is two-tailed, with critical values:
The decision rule is:
Reject the null hypothesis if t ≤ -2.201 or if t ≥ 2.201
Not reject the null hypothesis if -2.201 < t < 2.201
Since the calculated value (2.549) is greater than the right critical value (2.201) the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.
With a signification level of 5%, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This means that the population mean of the monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted living facility is different from $3300.

So this is essentially a proportion problem. They want you to be able to recognize a relationship between the two. The easiest way to go about this is to draw a picture (I have included one). What you want to do is notice that you are given both shadow lengths. This is essentially going to be your first step to creating the proportion.
Understanding that we know the shadow lengths, we can turn these into a fraction such as so:
4ft/20ft.
Now that we know that, we need to look at are unknown. Our unknown is the height of the utility pole. We can solve this by substituting for X since we know the utility worker is 5.5 ft tall.
Your fraction for that would look like:
5.5ft/X
Make sure to always make your top to top match, such as since I put the utility worker's shadow on top, I need to put his height on top.
Now we can solve.
4ft/20ft =5.5ft/X
We need to cross multiply to get an equation we can work with. If we cross multiply, Your equation will look like:
4x = 110ft
This is a simple one step equation. Divide both sides by 4 to get your answer.
x= 27.5ft.
This means your Utility pole's height is 27.5ft.
