His work should have looked like this.
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10 When he added in both sides, he subtracted 10 from 10,
5x = 20 instead of adding 10 from 10 to make 20.
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
8 + y = 5
y = -3
less than; Set A
It is less than, because if you add half of the sum of the least and greatest numbers of the set to the lowest number in the set, you get the median. The median of Set A was 17, and the Median of Set B was 17.5.
Set A is more variable in terms of range, because it has a larger range.
Answer:
a)

b)

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to build appropriate null and alternate hypothesis for the given scenarios.
a) Population mean, μ = $62,500 per year
The market research wants to find whether the mean household income of mall shoppers is higher than that of the general population.

We would use one-tail(right) test to perform this hypothesis.
b) Population mean, μ = 2.6 hours
The company want to know the average time to respond to trouble calls is different or not.

We would use two-tail test to perform this hypothesis.
