Answer:

a. The null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \mu=3173\\\\H_a:\mu< 3173

b. A Type I error is made when a true null hypothesis is rejected. In this case, it would happen if it is concluded that the actual mean outstanding credit card debt of college undergraduate is significantly less than $3173, when in fact it does not.

A Type II error is made when a false null hypothesis is failed to be rejected. In this case, the actual mean outstanding credit card debt of college undergraduate is in fact less than $3173, but the test concludes there is no enough evidence to claim that.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a prior study of the mean outstanding credit card debt of college undergraduate that states that it was $3173 in 2010.

A researcher believes that this amount has decreased since then.

Then, he has to perform a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis states that the mean is still $3173 and an alternative hypothesis that states that the actual credit card debt is significantly smaller than $3173.

The null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \mu=3173\\\\H_a:\mu< 3173

What is the answer to 6(x+4)=30
DanielleElmas [232]

Start by distributing the 6 through the parenthses on the left side.

So we have 6x + 24 = 30.

Solving from here, I would subtract 24 from both sides to get 6x = 6.

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we have x = 1.
