Answer:  The required expression is 3-5x.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to write the following expression :

"the difference of 3 and 5 times a number".

Let the number be represented by x.

Then, 5 times x is written as 5x.

The difference of 3 and 5 times x ca be written as

3-5x.

A group of students wanted to investigate the claim that the average number of text messages sent yesterday by
Likurg_2 [28]
First we need to write the null and alternate hypothesis for this case.

Let x be the average number of text message sent. Then

Null hypothesis: x = 100
Alternate hypothesis: x > 100

The p value is 0.0853

If p value > significance level, then the null hypothesis is not rejected. If p value < significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected.

If significance level is 10%(0.10), the p value will be less than 0.10 and we reject the null hypothesis and CAN conclude that:
The mean number of text messages sent yesterday was greater than 100.

If significance level is 5%(0.05), the p value will be greater than 0.05 and we cannot reject the null hypothesis and CANNOT conclude that:
The mean number of text messages sent yesterday was greater than 100.
