Yulian works at the zoo feeding the animals. He puts water in the elephant habitat at the beginning of the day. The table shows
how much water, in gallons, remains at different times during the day. What is the equation that represents Yulian's situation in point-slope form? (HINT: Give all fractions as decimals)

Answer:
The degrees of freedom are given by:
Since is a two-sided test the p value would be:
Since the p value is a very low value we have enough evidence to conclude that true mean is significantly different from 1.35 in/year at any significance level commonly used for example ().
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the sample mean
represent the sample deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 1.35 in/year, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
P-value
The degrees of freedom are given by:
