Answer: -2.75*x - 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation we have only one variable, this means that the minimum possible number of terms will be two, one term with x, and one term without x.

We can start with the equation:

(-0.25x - 3) - (2.5x + 1.7)

Now, let's rewrite this as:

-0.25x - 3 - 2.5x - 1.7

(-0.25*x - 2.5*x) + (-3 - 1.7)

Solving the parentheses we get:

-2.75*x - 4.7

That is the equivalent expression that has the fewest possible terms

A simple random sample was taken of 44 water bottles from a bottling plant’s warehouse. The dissolved oxygen content (in mg/L) w
Margarita [4]

Answer:

(a) Test statistic is -2.85 and p-value is 0.0022

(b) Reject the null hypothesis. The population mean of dissolved oxygen content is not equal to 10 mg/L

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: mu equals 10

Ha: mu not equals 10

The test is a two-tailed test because the alternate hypothesis is expressed using not equal to

(a) Test statistic (z) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ (sd/√n) = (9.14 - 10) ÷ (2/√44) = -0.86 ÷ 0.302 = -2.85

Cumulative area of the test statistic = 0.9978

p-value = 2(1 - 0.9978) = 2(0.0022) = 0.0044

(b) The critical value using 0.02 significance level is 2.422. For a two-tailed test, the region of no rejection of the test statistic lies between -2.422 and 2.422.

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -2.85 falls outside the region bounded by the critical values -2.422 and 2.422.

The population mean of dissolved oxygen content is not equal to 10 mg/L
