-1/2
To find the slope of the line between two points, we use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Substitute the values given for the xs and ys:
(7-5)/(-1-3)
2/(-4)
simplify: -1/2
Answer:
An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = price of 1 apple.
Let m = price of 1 mango.
Cameron:
4 apples + 7 mangoes ----> total $17.75
4a + 7m = 17.75
Gavin:
2 apples + 5 mangoes ----> total $10.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
4a + 7m = 17.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We can use the elimination method to eliminate the variable <em>a</em>. Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -2 and write below it. Then add the equations.
4a + 7m = 17.75
(+) -4a - 10m = -21.5
---------------------------------
-3m = -3.75
Divide both sides by -3.
m = 1.25
<em>A mango costs $1.25.</em>
Now we use the first equation and substitute 1.25 for <em>m</em> and solve for <em>a</em>.
4a + 7m = 17.75
4a + 7(1.25) = 17.75
4a + 8.75 = 17.75
4a = 9
a = 2.25
<em>An apple costs $2.25.</em>
Answer: An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
- For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by H₀: μ = 7 and H₁: μ < 7.
- The test statistic is -1.941 and the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01.
- Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.
<h3>What is a null hypothesis?</h3>
A null hypothesis (H₀) can be defined the opposite of an alternate hypothesis (H₁) and it asserts that two (2) possibilities are the same.
<h3>How to calculate value of the test statistic?</h3>
The test statistics can be calculated by using this formula:

<u>Where:</u>
- is the standard deviation.
- n is the number of hours.
For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:
H₀: μ = 7
H₁: μ < 7

t = -0.7/0.3606
t = -1.941.
For the p-value, we have:
P-value = P(t < -1.9412)
P-value = 0.0381.
Therefore, the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01. Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.
