Let sample in Texas be p1, Louisiana be p2.
Null Hypothesis:
p1 - p2 = 0
Alternative Hypothesis: (This represents the claim)
p1- p2 < 0
To calculate test statistic, you need the pooled estimate which is a weighted average of the 2 sample proportions.

Next get standard error:

Calculate test statistic:

To find p-value, look up Z-value in standard normal table.
Anything smaller than -3 or larger than 3, you can estimate to have
p-value = 0.
If p-value < alpha, Reject Null Hypothesis.
For this example, 0 < 0.05, therefore reject null hypothesis.
There is evidence to support claim that proportion of smokers in Texas is LESS than Louisiana.
Answer:
You have to pay for it
Step-by-step explanation:
Either search it up on google, or steam.
Your question: A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rate.
Answer: 1730
That's the answer mate, if you need more help or if you need to know how I got the answer.. just message me.
Good luck!
Step-by-step explanation:

9. log(2)=a, log(3)=b, then log(36)=______
log(36) = log(6*6) = log(6) + log(6)
log(36)= log(6) + log(6)
log(36) = log(3*2) + log(3*2)
log(36) = (log(3) + log(2)) + (log(3) + log(2))
log(36) = (a + b) + (b + a)
log(36) = a + b + b + a
log(36) = 2a + 2b
We can use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 to find our answer. So, we have : t-16/5-2 = -3. We simplify that to t-16/3 = -3. We can then multiply both sides by 3 to get t-16 = -9. Then we can add 16 to both sides to get t = 7.
