Answer:

44yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

sum= 64

8yrs ago

Hanna = x - 8

Andrew =3x - 8

sum 8yrs ago

64 - 8 - 8 = 48 yrs

| \

Hanna's Andrew's

3x + x = 48

4x = 48

4 4

x = 12

Andrew = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36( 8 yrs ago)

now = 36 + 8 = 44yrs

Hanna's = x = 12(8 yrs ago)

now = 12 + 8 = 20yrs

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

The hypothesis test is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

The p-value is of 0.0668.

The critical value is $z^{\ast} = -1.28$

b) Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Item a:

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is of 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7.4$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is lower than 7.4 minutes, that is:

$H_1: \mu < 7.4$

We have the standard deviation for the population, hence, the z-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.

n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are: $\overline{x} = 7.1, \mu = 7.4, \sigma = 1.2, n = 36$ .

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{7.1 - 7.4}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{36}}}$

$z = -1.5$

Using a z-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.0668.

Also using a calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, the critical value with a significance level of 0.1 is of $z^{\ast} = -1.28$ .

Item b:

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the left-tailed test, there is enough evidence to conclude that the null hypothesis will be rejected.

With these transversals across parallel lines the angles are either congruent or supplementary (adding to 180) and its pretty easy to figure out which is which, obtuse verse acute in the figure.

Each yellow circle indicates x and the path to the next square. So for example the Start has alternate interior angles, which are congruent, so x is 141 degrees.
