Why not look up "standard deviation" yourself, to be sure? But yes, the std. dev. is the sqrt of the variance.
Answer:
We fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a hypothesis test, if the computed p-value is grater than a specified level of significance, then we fail to reject the null hypothesis. The p-value can be computed as the probability of getting a value equal or greater (in absolute value) than the observed value using the test statistic, this implies that if the p-value is greater than a specified level of significance, then the observed value does not fall inside the rejection region. Therefore we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
so john is x and if Maya has the same as john but -3 then
x+x-3
but sam is still missing and she has half of Maya which is 0.5x - 1.5
so the equation is
x+x-3+0.5x-1.5=68
and then you add 3 and 1.5 to 68 which is
2.5x=72.5
and you divide by 2.5 which is 29
John has 29 points
