Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the population

so we have ,

2x= 6h

?= 3 days or 3×24h

by cross multiplication we have

2x× 72h= 6h×?

?= 2x×72/6 = 24x

So, in three days the bacteria will b 24 times current population.

Answer: (A)

$H_0:\mu=75\\H_a:\mu\neq75$

(B)

$H_0:\mu=24\ sec\\H_a:\mu>24\ sec$

(C)

$H_0:\mu=850\ ft^2\\H_a:\mu$

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis $(H_0)$ : It is a statement showing population parameters as per the objective of the study. It generally takes "≤,≥,=" signs.
Alternative hypothesis $(H_a)$ : It is also a statement describing population parameters as per the objective of the study. It generally takes ">, <, ≠" signs.

(A) Objective: Scores in second-year calculus are scaled so the average each year is equivalent to a 75 or not.

$H_0:\mu=75\\H_a:\mu\neq75$

(B) Objective: The mean time is 24 seconds or more for one particular maze.

$H_0:\mu=24\ sec\\H_a:\mu>24\ sec$

(C) Objective: The average square footage of one-bedroom apartments in a new student-housing development is advertised to be 850 square feet or smaller.

$H_0:\mu=850\ ft^2\\H_a:\mu$
