Answer:

-8>x

Step-by-step explanation:

-26>2x-10

First we add 10 to both sides:

-26+10>2x-10+10

Simplify:

-16>2x

Divide both sides by 2:

-16÷2>2x÷2

Simplify:

-8>x

This is correct as -7 is the largest whole number that would go against this inequality since:

-26>2(-7)-10

-26>-14-10

-26>-24 ❌

But anything less than -8 will work since:

-26>2(-8)-10

-26>-16-10

-26>-26 ❌ since they are equal.

QveST [7]

Because this is a fifth degree polynomial, it's an odd function. Odd functions have one tail go up and the other down. Because the leading coefficient is a negative number, 3 to be exact, the left one goes up and the right goes down.

Assume the general population gets an average of 7 hours of sleep per night. You randomly select 45 college students and survey

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) ii. This is a left-tailed test.

b) -1.59

c) -1.301

d) i. reject null hypothesis

e) Option i) The data supports the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 7 hours

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 6.87 hours

Sample size, n = 45

Alpha, α = 0.10

Sample standard deviation, s = 0.55 hours

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 7\text{ hours}\\H_A: \mu < 7\text{ hours}$

a) We use one-tailed(left) t test to perform this hypothesis.

b) Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{6.87 - 7}{\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{45}} } =-1.59$

c) Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.10 level of significance, 44 degree of freedom } = -1.301$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

d) We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

We accept the alternate hypothesis and conclude that mean number of hours of sleep for all college students is less than 7 hours.

e) Option i) The data supports the claim that college students get less sleep than the general population.

the way you can solve this is by removing all numbers in front of the selected number(in this case, 2 should be removed) then change all numbers behind to 0.
