Answer:
If we compare the p value and the significance level given and we can see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true average speed is lower than 25 mph at 5% of signficance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the sample mean
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for the average speed is lower than 25 mph, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
P-value
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
Since is a one side test the p value would be:
Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level given and we can see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the true average speed is lower than 25 mph at 5% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to know that, by definition, Direct variation equations have the following form:
Where "k" is the constant of variation.
Therefore, it is a straight line that passes through the origin.
In this case, given the graph attached in the exercise, you can follow these steps in order to find the constant of variation:
Step 1: You need to choose any point on the line. Let's choose the point (5,4).
Step 2: Now you must ubstitute the coordinates of that point into . Then:
Step 3: Finally, you must solve for the Constant of variation "k", in order to find its value. Therefore, you get that this is:
