Answer:

This explanation is not correct

Explanation:

Significance level is the probability that the null hypothesis rejected is in fact true. If we say there is a significance level of 0.10 or 10%(α=0.10 level) then there is a 10% chance of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis when there is actually no difference.

If we wish to reach a conclusion on rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis, we could use the p value(the probability that observed results or more extremee results are true given null hypothesis)which we compare with the significance level to conclude. If the significance level is 0.10 and p value is 0.07(since p value is less than significance level) , we reject the null hypothesis and vice versa.

Two integers have a sum of -44 and a difference of 22. The greater of the two integers is
Leni [432]

Answer:

  -11

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic solution to ...

  • a + b = sum
  • a - b = difference

Can be found by adding the two equations:

  (a+b) + (a-b) = (sum) + (difference)

  2a = (sum + difference)

  a = (sum + difference)/2

___

Our particular solution is ...

  a = (-44 +22)/2 = -11

The greater of the two numbers is -11.

___

The other number is -33.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length. (round to tenth if necessary) IS
sertanlavr [38]

11.7

Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so substitute the numbers like this:

10^2 + 6^2 = c^2

both 10^2 and 6^2 are perfect squares:

10 × 10= 100 and 6 × 6= 36

100 + 36= c^2

add:

100 + 36 =

136 = c^2

now in order to get rid of the squared, you put it into a radical:

√136 = √c^2

note: whatever you do on one side, you do to the other

it's easier to use the calculator for this so put √136 and you're gonna get 11.66

since it's asking you to round it to the nearest tenth:

11.66 = 11.7

sorry if the explanation is kinda long ✋ i tried explaining it better in the end but i failed
