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.

You purchase one microsoft july $72 put contract for a premium of $1. 32. what is your maximum possible profit?
goldenfox [79]

The maximum possible profit = $7068

For given question,

One Microsoft July $72 put contract for a premium of $1.32

The payoff arise from put option is max (K - S, 0) - P

Now it would be maximum at S = 0

And, the maximum payoff is

K - 0 - P

= K - P

= 72 - 1.32

= $70.68

We assume that for each and every contract the number of shares is 100

So, the maximum profit gained from this strategy is

= $70.68 × 100 shares

= $7068

The maximum profit that will be gained from this strategy is $7068

Therefore, the maximum possible profit = $7068

The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were − 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius. What two temper
Inessa05 [86]

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average of a set of data is A=\frac{S}{N} , where

  • S is the sum of the data in the set
  • N is the number of the data in the set

∵ The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were

   − 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius

∴ The set of the data is { -6 , -3 , -1 , 1 , -3 , -9 , -14}

- Add the data in the set

∵ S = -6 + -3 + -1 + 1 + -3 + -9 + -14

∴ S = -35

∵ The set has 7 data

∴ N = 7

- Use the formula of the average above to find it

∴ A=\frac{-35}{7}

∴ A = -5

∴ The average of the original set of numbers is -5

To keep the average the same after removing two numbers multiply the average by the new number of data to find the new sum

∵ The number of data after removing two numbers is 5

∴ N = 5

∵ A = -5

- By using the rule of average

∴ -5=\frac{S}{5}

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ -25 = S

∴ The new sum is -25

- Lets find which two numbers of have a sum of -10 because

   the difference between -35 and -25 is -10

∵ -1 + -9 = -10

∵ -6 + -3 + 1 + -3 + -14 = -25

∴ We could removed -1 and -9

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Need help on any number cause it is due tomorrow
Savatey [412]
<span>I think the easiest way to answer all of these is to just go ahead and find the equation of the line first. 

I'm pretty sure that by the time you see this problem, you've learned how to find
the equation of a line that passes through two given points.  You have two points:  (2, 100) and (5, 205).  The equation of the line through them is
[ y = 35x + 30 ].  (That's the answer to #8.)

6).  The initial membership fee ... the cost for walking in the door and signing up,
before any months, is $30.  (Also the y-intercept.)

7).  The cost per month is $35.  (The slope of the line.)

8).  We already did that, up above.  [  y = 35x + 30 ].

9).  'x' in the equation is the number of months.
There are 12 months in one year.

y = 35(12) + 30 = $450</span>
