This is a strange question, and f(x) may not even exist. Why do I say that? Well..
[1] We know that f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b). Therefore, f(0+0) = f(0) + f(0). In other words, f(0) = f(0) + f(0). Subtracting, we see, f(0) - f(0) = f(0) or 0 = f(0).
[2] So, what's the problem? We found the answer, f(0) = 0, right? Maybe, but the second rule says that f(x) is always positive. However, f(0) = 0 is not positive!
Since there is a contradiction, we must either conclude that the single value f(0) does not exist, or that the entire function f(x) does not exist.
To fix this, we could instead say that "f(x) is always nonnegative" and then we would be safe.
- For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by H₀: μ = 7 and H₁: μ < 7.
- The test statistic is -1.941 and the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01.
- Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.
<h3>What is a null hypothesis?</h3>
A null hypothesis (H₀) can be defined the opposite of an alternate hypothesis (H₁) and it asserts that two (2) possibilities are the same.
<h3>How to calculate value of the test statistic?</h3>
The test statistics can be calculated by using this formula:

<u>Where:</u>
- is the standard deviation.
- n is the number of hours.
For this study, we should use t-test and the null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:
H₀: μ = 7
H₁: μ < 7

t = -0.7/0.3606
t = -1.941.
For the p-value, we have:
P-value = P(t < -1.9412)
P-value = 0.0381.
Therefore, the p-value (0.0381) is <u>greater than</u> α = 0.01. Based on this, we should <u>fail to reject</u> the null hypothesis.
Thus, the final conclusion is that the data suggest the population mean is not significantly lower than 7 at α = 0.01, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean waiting time to be admitted into the hospital from the emergency room for patients at rural hospitals is equal to 7 hours.

When the centre A(xa,ya) and radius are given, the general equation is
(x-xa)^2+(y-ya)^2=r^2
Answer:
2X-3Y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
given equation is 3X +2Y = -7
FIRST BRING THIS IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
2Y = -3X -7
DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2
Y = (-3/2)X -7/2
SLOPE OF GIVEN EQUATION IS -3/2
SLOPE OF LINE PERPENDICULAR TO THIS IS NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL HENCE SLOPE OF REQUIRED EQUATION IS 2/3
EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE IN POINT SLOPE FORM IS
Y-Y1 = m(X-X1)
Y-1 = (2/3)(X-1)
MULTIPLYING ALL TERMS BY 3
3(Y-1) = 2(X-1)
3Y-3 = 2X -2
2X-2 = 3Y-3
2X-3Y =-3+2
2X-3Y = -1
