times by a on both sides

a(a+8)= -5

expand brackets

a^2 + 8a = -5

minus 5 on both sides to set equal to 0

a^2 + 8a -5 = 0

use quadratic formula to get 2 solutions

-

\frac{ - (8) + or -  \sqrt{ {8}^{2} - 4(1)(5) } }{2(1)}

Critical regions get larger as α values get smaller. T or F, and why or why not?
Tamiku [17]
Answer: F
Critical regions get smaller as α-values get smaller.

Explanation:
The figure below shows the critical regions (shaded) for a 2-tailed test at the 95% confidence level.

Because the total area under the curve is 1, the α-value is 1 - 0.95 = 0.05.
It is split up into 0.025 for a two-tailed test. It remains at 0.05 for a one-tailed test.
The critical z-score at 95% confidence level is z* = 1.96.

When the α-value decreases:
(a) the z* value increases,
 (b) the confidence level increases,
 (c) the critical region decreases.

Answers:

Input 0 = Output 25

Input 1 = Output 23

Input 4 = Output 17

Input 7 = Output 11

Equations:

25 = 25 - (2*0)

23 = 25 - (2*1)
