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.

Alona [7]
The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
                      20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.

1. Complete this statment: A polygon with all sides the same length is said to be____
Katen [24]

Answer:

Q1. Regular (A)

Q2. 105° (C)

Q3. x=45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1. A regular polygon is a polygon with all sides and angles equal.

Q2. The sum of the measure of exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°. Therefore,  360°-255°=105°

Q3. 148°+112°+(2x+10)°+(2x)°+90°= Sum of angles in a pentagon.

<u><em>Note</em></u>: The square at the fifth angle shows that its a right angle which is 90°. Also all the angles are equal to the sum of angles in a pentagon 'cause the polygon has 5 sides ( a pentagon).

Sum of interior angles of a polygon is: (n-2)180°. Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon.

Therefore the sum of interior angles is (5-2)180°=540°

solving the equation you have;

360°+4x=540°

4x=540°-360°

4x=180°

x=180°/4

x=45°

therefore x=45°
