An endocrinologist is interested in the effects of depression on the thyroid. It is believed that healthy subjects have a mean thyroxin (a hormone related to thyroid function) level of 7.0 micrograms/100 ml and a standard deviation of 1.6 micrograms/100 ml. The endocrinologist wants to assess whether the mean thyroxin level is different for those with depression. She samples 35 subjects with depression and obtains a sample mean of 7.82 micrograms/100 ml for thyroxin. What null and alternative hypotheses should she test

H0: μ = 7.0

H1: μ > 7.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis will equal and take up the value of the population mean value ;

The population mean value, μ is 7.0

Null hypothesis ; H0: μ = 7.0

The alternative hypothesis will align with the claim ; which will take up and side with the value and direction of the sample mean ; 7.82 micrograms/100 ml

7.82 > 7.0 (sample mean is greater Than the population mean).

Hence, the alternative hypothesis, H1 will be ;

H1 : μ > 7.0

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
