Answer = 16 birds

1. Write out your equations
X = birds
Y= cats
x + y = 19
2.50x + 7.50y = 62.50

2. Isolate one variable.
x + y = 19
x = 19 - y

3. Plug this in as the variable in the other equation. Then, solve.
2.5(19 - y) + 7.5y = 62.5
47.5 - 2.5y + 7.5y = 62.5
-2.5y + 7.5y = 15
5y = 15
y = 3 (cats)

4. Solve for the other variable.
We know there were 19 animals in total on Monday. Since there were 3 cats, there must be 16 birds.

5. Double check by plugging the numbers into the original equations.
16 + 3 = 19
19 = 19 (true)

2.5(16) + 7.5(3) = 62.5
40 + 22.5 = 62.5
62.5 = 62.5 (true)

For the following hypothesis test, determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, classify the hypothesis test as two-tail
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Option B:

H_0: \mu = 22.1

H_a: \mu \neq 22.1

Classification:

The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.

This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:

H_0: \mu = 22.1

A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:

H_a: \mu \neq 22.1

Which means that the answer is given by option b).

Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?

We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
