Complete question is;

Do oddsmakers believe that teams who play at home will have home field advantage? Specifically, do oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games?

Two samples were randomly selected from three complete National Football League seasons (1989, 1990, and 1991). The first sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in a home game, while the second sample consisted of 50 games, where the favored team played in an away game. The oddsmakers’ point spreads (which are the number of points by which the favored team is predicted to beat the weaker team) were then collected.

If µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively, which of the following is the appropriate.

A) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 < 0

B) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 < μ2

C) H0: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 = 0

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

E) None of the above

Answer:

D) H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find out if oddsmakers give higher point spreads when the favored team plays home games as compared to when the favored team plays away games.

Now, since µ1 and µ2 represent the mean point spread for home games and away games, respectively;

It means we want to find out if µ1 > µ2 as the alternative hypothesis.

Thus, alternative hypothesis is;

Ha: µ1 - µ2 > 0

Meanwhile null hypothesis assumes that equal point spreads are given when the favored team plays home games as well as when the favored team plays away games.

Thus, null hypothesis is;

H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0

The only correct option is D.

[2.4–(0.3–3.21)÷2+0.44÷(−2)]÷ 2/5
netineya [11]

Answer:9.0875

Step-by-step explanation:

[2.4–(0.3–3.21)÷2+0.44÷(−2)]÷ 2/5=

[4.8:2-(-2.91):2-0.44:2]:2/5=

=[(4.8+2.91-0.44):2]*5/2=

=[(7.71-0.44):2]*5/2=

=(7.27:2)*5/2=(7.27*5):(2*2)=

=36.35:4=9.0875

PLZZZZ HELPPPPPPP!!!!
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.

For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.

The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125

Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:

H/28ft = 1.8125

Now we can solve this for H.

H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft

Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.

It takes james 2.5 minutes to type 150 words at that rate how mant words can james type in 6 minutes
sergey [27]

The number of words james can type in 6 minutes at the same rate is 360 words

Given:

Number of minutes to type 150 words = 2.5 minutes

let

number of words James can type in 6 minutes = x

Equate the ratio of the number of words to number of minutes

150 : 2.5 = x : 6

150/2.5 = x/6

cross product

150 × 6 = 2.5 × x

900 = 2.5x

x = 900/2.5

x = 360 words

Therefore, the number of words james can type in 6 minutes is 360 words

Find the inverse: f(x)=x+5/3x-1<br><br> f^-1x=
babunello [35]

We have f(x)=\dfrac{x+5}{3x-1}.

To find inverse function f^{-1}(x) we substitute x with f^{-1}(x) and vice-versa to get

x=\dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+5}{3f^{-1}(x)-1}

Now solve for f^{-1}(x). Note that I will use j instead.

x=\dfrac{j+5}{3j-1} \\x(3j-1)=j+5 \\3jx-x=j+5 \\3jx-x-j-5=0 \\3jx-j=x+5 \\j(3x-1)=x+5 \\j=\dfrac{x+5}{3x-1}

So we find that f(x)=f^{-1}.

Hope this helps.
