Answer:
d. H0: vs.
Step-by-step explanation:
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".
On this case the Management try to determine if there is a difference in the average investment/quad between using electricity and using gas. So this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis. And the complement of the alternative hypothesis would be on the null hypothesis.
Null hypothesis :
Alternative hypothesis:
Or equivalently:
Null hypothesis :
Alternative hypothesis:
Other important thing is that on the alternative hypothesis we never can have the symbol equal.
So on this case the best options is:
d. H0: vs.
Part (i)
I'm going to use the notation T(n) instead of
To find the first term, we plug in n = 1
T(n) = 2 - 3n
T(1) = 2 - 3(1)
T(1) = -1
The first term is -1
Repeat for n = 2 to find the second term
T(n) = 2 - 3n
T(2) = 2 - 3(2)
T(2) = -4
The second term is -4
<h3>Answers: -1, -4</h3>==============================================
Part (ii)
Plug in T(n) = -61 and solve for n
T(n) = 2 - 3n
-61 = 2 - 3n
-61-2 = -3n
-63 = -3n
-3n = -63
n = -63/(-3)
n = 21
Note that plugging in n = 21 leads to T(21) = -61, similar to how we computed the items back in part (i).
<h3>Answer: 21st term</h3>===============================================
Part (iii)
We're given that T(n) = 2 - 3n
Let's compute T(2n). We do so by replacing every copy of n with 2n like so
T(n) = 2 - 3n
T(2n) = 2 - 3(2n)
T(2n) = 2 - 6n
Now subtract T(2n) from T(n)
T(n) - T(2n) = (2-3n) - (2-6n)
T(n) - T(2n) = 2-3n - 2+6n
T(n) - T(2n) = 3n
Then set this equal to 24 and solve for n
T(n) - T(2n) = 24
3n = 24
n = 24/3
n = 8
This means 2n = 2*8 = 16. So subtracting T(8) - T(16) will get us 24.
<h3>Answer: 8</h3>
