Answer 

B. f(x) = - (y/x)⁵

Explanation
A negative power means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive value .
For example, a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

So, for the question above.
f(x) = -(x/y)⁻⁵
= - 1/(x/y)⁵
= - (y/x)⁵

The answer for the problem shown in the figure attached, is the option B, which is:
B) f(x)=(-y/x)^5
The explanatio for the exercise is shown below:
1. You have the following function given in the problem above:
f(x)=-(x/y)^-5
2. The negative exponent -5, indicates that the x must be in the denominator and the y must be in the numerator, and the exponent must be positive as following:
f(x)=(-y/x)^5

For this problem we must set up some fractions in an equality. First, we put number of people in the numerator and number of hours in the denominator. After this we can plug in 24 to the numerator of the first fraction and 4 to the denominator of the first fraction (24/4). We then set the two fractions equal to each other and put 18 in the numerator of the second fraction and the variable X and the denominator of the second fraction (18/x). Lastly we cross multiply and then divide leaving X alone. This will be our answer. Therefore the answer is 3 hours.

Answer:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}$

Where t follows a t distribution with $n_1+n_2 -2$ degrees of freedom and the pooled variance $S^2_p$ is given by this formula:

$\S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}$

$t=\frac{19 -22)-(0)}{4.095\sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{7}}}=-1.416$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

American: 21,17,17,20,25,16,20,16 (Sample 1)

French: 24,18,20,28,18,29,17 (Sample 2)

When we have two independent samples from two normal distributions with equal variances we are assuming that

$\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2$

And the statistic is given by this formula:

$t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}$

Where t follows a t distribution with $n_1+n_2 -2$ degrees of freedom and the pooled variance $S^2_p$ is given by this formula:

$S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}$

This last one is an unbiased estimator of the common variance $\sigma^2$

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 = \mu_2$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 \neq \mu_2$

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0$

Our notation on this case :

$n_1 =8$ represent the sample size for group 1

$n_2 =7$ represent the sample size for group 2

$\bar X_1 =19$ represent the sample mean for the group 1

$\bar X_2 =22$ represent the sample mean for the group 2

$s_1=3.117$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

$s_2=5.0$ represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

First we can begin finding the pooled variance:

$S^2_p =\frac{(8-1)(3.117)^2 +(7 -1)(5.0)^2}{8 +7 -2}=16.770$

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance:

$S_p=4.095$

And now we can calculate the statistic:

$t=\frac{19 -22)-(0)}{4.095\sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{7}}}=-1.416$

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=8+7-2=13$

And now we can calculate the p value using the altenative hypothesis:

$p_v =2*P(t_{13}$

So with the p value obtained and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.1$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 10% of significance we don't have significant differences between the two means.
