Imagine the unit circle. The cot(theta) is a line from (0,1) to (-4,1). Imagine it is part of a triangle with the origin (draw it!).
Then the hypotenuse length is √(1+4²) = √17.
The sine rule says that sin(90)/√17 must equal sin(theta)/4, and sin(90)=1, so
Answer: C. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0; thus, we cannot conclude that the mean point spread fo home games is higher than that of away games.
Step-by-step explanation: In Hypothesis Testing using p-value, after stating the null an alternative hypothesis, you have to compare p-value with level of significance, also known as α. If p-value is less than α, reject null hypothesis and accept alternative. If p-value is bigger, we would fail to reject null hypothesis and not accept the alternative.
In the above testing, P-value is 0.4351. Level of significance is, generally, 0.05. Comparing them, p-value is bigger than α. What it means is there is not enough evidence to support null hypothesis and, consequently, we can't conclude the difference in mean point spread of home games is higher than of the away games.
