Answer:

the most conservative hypothesis is

<em>H₀</em>: <em>p</em> = 0.18, <em>Hₐ</em>: <em>p</em> > 0.18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The researcher wants to test whether the rate of smoking among adults in Chicago is greater than the national rate of 18% or not.

The hypothesis for this test can be defined as follows:

Null Hypothesis (H_{o}): The rate of smoking among adults in Chicago is same as the national rate, i.e. <em>p</em> = 0.18.

Alternate Hypothesis (H_{a}): The rate of smoking among adults in Chicago is greater than the national rate, i.e. <em>p</em> > 0.18.

So the most conservative hypothesis is <em>H₀</em>: <em>p</em> = 0.18, <em>Hₐ</em>: <em>p</em> > 0.18.

Finally, you make an approximately circular yard using 80 ft of fence. What is the area of the yard? (Hint: First find the radiu
Pavel [41]
Since the circumference is 80, you know that the equation used was:
\pi d = 80
Divide by pi and you'd get d = 25.465
Divide that by 2 to get your radius.
25.465 / 2 = 12.723 = r

The area formula for a circle is \pi r^2
So, \pi (12.723)^2 = 508.544 square feet

If a function is symmetric over the line x = 2, what kind of function could it be? A. absolute value B. cubic C. exponential D.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A. Absolute value.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to determine the type of function, if it is symmetric over the line x=2.

We know that a line of form x=a represents an equation of a vertical line that crosses x-axis at point (2,0) parallel to y-axis.

We know that a cubic function is symmetric about origin, while an exponential function has no symmetry.

A rational function is not necessarily symmetric to y-axis.

We know that an absolute value function is symmetric about y-axis, so our given function will be symmetric to the line x=2 and option A is the correct choice.

Every _____ tessellates decagon, octagon, pentagon, triangle
Nookie1986 [14]

Well.. I know the definition of tessellates can help us figure out the answer..

<span>A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.</span>

<span>I know we can do this with triangles. </span>

<span>My guess would be triangles.</span>
