Answer:
Option B) Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 333
p = 48% = 0.48
Alpha, α = 0.01
Number of women belonging to union , x = 149
First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

This is a two-tailed test.  
Formula:


Putting the values, we get,

Now, we calculate the p-value from the table.
P-value = 0.273079
Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different from what was reported.
B. Do not reject null hypothesis, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of homes in Oregon heated by natural gas is different from the 48% that the US Department of Energy reported.

Item 14 A student solves the inequality −6v>42. Each step in the student's solution is shown below. Identify where the studen
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality solved by a student expressed as:

-6v>42

To get v, follow the simple steps

Step 1: multiply both sides by -1

-6v>42

-1(-6v)<-1(42)

6v < 42 (Note that when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative sign, the inequality sign will change)

Step 2: Divide through by 6

6v < 42

6v/6 < 42/6

v < 7

Hence the range of values of v are the values of v less than 7

Since we are not  given the options, you can compare the solution given with that of the student to figure out the error. The major error that may happen is the different not changing the inequality sign after multiplying or dividing with a negative value as shown.

When x increases from a to a + 2, y increases by a difference of 8. For which functions is this statement true?
lord [1]

Answer:

That would be Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at y = 4x + 2:-

Let x = a then y = 4a + 2

Now if x in creases to a +2,  y = 4(a +2) + 2 = 4a + 8 + 2

= 4a + 10.

(4a + 10) - (4a + 2) = 8  ,  so this is the required expression, y = 4x + 2.
