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.

Find the difference.<br><br> 6rs – (-2rs)
lilavasa [31]
There is no difference, 6rs-(-2rs) if you get rid of the parenthesis you are left with 6rs- -2rs and two negatives make a positive therefore the answer will become 8rs... I hope this helps :)

The sum of a number times 10 and 17 is at most 27
guajiro [1.7K]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>The value of the number should be 1 (or less I think)</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>At most means the highest value of the sum should be 27.</em>

<em>10x + 17 = 27</em>

<em>10x = 27 - 17</em>

<em>10x = 10</em>

<em>x = 10/10</em>

<em>x = 1</em>

<em>∴</em><em>The value of the number should be 1</em>

Please help (puppy eyes)
-Dominant- [34]
First we have to find the decimal equivalent by dividing.
5 / 8 = 0.625

It can't be an Integer because decimals can't be intergers, so that's ruled out

It can't be repeating as it does end, so that's also ruled out

Since the decimal does end it can't be non-terminating, non-repeating

So the answer is Terminating Decimal by process of elimination
