In a basketball game Fintan made 16 baskets. Each of the baskets is worth either 2 or 3

1 answer:

8 0

Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.

Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39

Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y

Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7

So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)

Answer:

H1 : μ < 1225

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternative hypothesis in carrying out a statistical test could be explained as a notion which aims to displace or rival an initial position, the null hypothesis.

When declaring an hypothesis, the statement compares the initial or population mean in the hypothesis statement and not the result or outcome of the sample statistic.

In the scenario above :

The null is of the notion that :

H0 : μ = 1225 ;

Hence, the stance of the alternative which is that the mean is lower or less will be written as :

H1 : μ < 1225
