The rocky mountain district sales manager of rath publishing inc., a college textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 40 sales calls per week on professors. several reps say that this estimate is too low. to investigate, a random sample of 28 sales representatives reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 42. the standard deviation of the sample is 2.1 calls. using the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 40?

Yes, the mean number is more than 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis  

H0 = mean is 40

Let´s make the t test

t = (x – mean) / standard deviation / √sample size

t = (42 – 40) / 2.1 / √28

t = 5.039

now we find t value for one tail, using a T-distribution table

df = n – 1 = 27

α = 0.05

so, t = 1.703

since our calculated t value is greater than the t for the table, the null hypothesis can be rejected. So the mean number of calls per salesperson per week is more than 40.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
