The formula for weight in linear function is y= 7.7x + 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that,

  • The weight of the born baby = 7 lbs
  • The weight of the baby at 10 years = 84 lbs.

To find the linear function, the rate of change of weight must be calculated.

<u>To find the rate of change of the baby's weight:</u>

The change in the weight is from 7 lbs to 84 lbs.

  • The total change = 84 - 7 =77
  • The rate of change = 77 / 10 years = 7.7

Therefore, the rate of change of weight of the baby is 7.7 lbs.

This means that, every year the weight has been increased by 7.7 lbs and in 10 years the baby gained a weight of 84 lbs.

<u>From this information, the linear function is given as :</u>

Total weight = 7.7(number of years) + born weight.

⇒ y= 7.7x + 7

where,

  • The born weight is 7 lbs.
  • y is the total weight of the baby
  • x is the number of years

1. IQ scores of statistics students have a standard deviation less than 15. A. H0:σ≤15, H1:σ&gt;15 B. H0:σ≥15, H1:σ&lt;15 C. H0:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1) For this case we want to check if the population deviation is less than 15( alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma \geq 15

H1: \sigma

B. H0:σ≥15, H1:σ<15

2) For this case we want to check if the population mean \mu is at most 70000 (alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \mu \geq 70000

H1: \mu

C. H0:µ≥70,000, H1:µ<70,000

3) For this case we want to check if the population proportion p of all internet users that make online purchases is higher than 0.5 (alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: p \leq 0.5

H1: p >0.5

D. H0:p≤0.5, H1:p>0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Solution to the problem

1) For this case we want to check if the population deviation is less than 15( alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \sigma \geq 15

H1: \sigma

B. H0:σ≥15, H1:σ<15

2) For this case we want to check if the population mean \mu is at most 70000 (alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: \mu \geq 70000

H1: \mu

C. H0:µ≥70,000, H1:µ<70,000

3) For this case we want to check if the population proportion p of all internet users that make online purchases is higher than 0.5 (alternative hypothesis) and the system of hypothesis are:

H0: p \leq 0.5

H1: p >0.5

D. H0:p≤0.5, H1:p>0.5

there are 16 bactiria in a beaker and four hours later there are 228 bacteria in the beaker. what is the rate of change per hour
Dominik [7]

Write and solve the appropriate exponential equation:

228 = 16(r)^4, where r is the change per hour in the number of bacteria:

228

------ = r^4     =   14.25.  

 16

Taking the fourth root of both sides, we get:  r = 1.94 (answer)
