A college entrance exam company determined that a score of 24 on the mathematics portion of the exam suggests that a student is ready for college-level mathematics. To achieve this goal, the company recommends that students take a core curriculum of math courses in high school. Suppose a random sample of 250 students who completed this core set of courses results in a mean math score of 24.5 on the college entrance exam with a standard deviation of 3.3.
a) Do these results suggest that students who complete the core curriculum are ready for college-level mathematics? That is, are they scoring above 24 on the math portion of the exam?
b) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

a) The Z -value 2.397 < 2.576 at 99% or 0.01% level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted at  0.01% level of significance

They score is above 24 on the math portion of the exam

b)

Null Hypothesis: There is no significance difference between the college level mathematics and math courses in high school

H₀: μ = 24

Alternative Hypothesis: H₁: μ ≠ 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given random sample 'n' = 250

Given data sample mean x⁻ = 24.5

Standard deviation = 3.3

Null Hypothesis: There is no significance difference between the college level mathematics and math courses in high school

H₀: μ = 24

Alternative Hypothesis: H₁: μ ≠ 24

test statistic

a) 99% or 0.01% level of significance

Level of significance ∝ = 0.01

The Z -value 2.397 < 2.576 at 99% or 0.01% level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted at  0.01% level of significance

They score is above 24 on the math portion of the exam

b) 95% or 0.05% level of significance

Level of significance ∝ = 0.05

The Z -value 2.397 > 1.96 at 95% or 0.05% level of significance

Null hypothesis is Rejected at  0.05% level of significance

They score is below 24 on the math portion of the exam

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
