Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this backwards.

Since we know that Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries, and sold half of the remaining strawberries, she must've had 18 boxes. Adding the 5 boxes from the beginning gets us 18+5=23

You also could've wrote an equation.

x=boxes of strawberries

x the total amount of boxes in the beginning of the day

x-5 the 5 boxes she sold

(x-5)/2 half of the remaining boxes sold

(x-5)/2=9 the amount left

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The  value is  1.75 \  and  \   -1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The null hypothesis is  H_1 :  \mu \ne 3.24

     The level of significance is  \alpha = 0.08

From the z table  the critical value of  \alpha considering the two tails of the normal  curve( This is because this a two tailed test ) is

       z= \pm  1.75

Hence the critical value is  

       1.75 \  and  \   -1.75
