The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation. To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is:
$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} 8^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2} c = 14.4$

Ghella [55]

Answer:

the null hypothesis would be: p = 70%/0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: p < 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is most of the time always the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is tested against the null and is its opposite.

In this case study the null hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is 70%: p = 0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than 70% : p < 0.7
