The general social survey described in exercise 5.8 included random samples from two groups: us residents with a college degree and us residents without a college degree. for the 505 sampled us residents with a college degree, the average number of hours worked each week was 41.8 hours with a standard deviation of 15.1 hours. for those 667 without a degree, the mean was 39.4 hours with a standard deviation of 15.1 hours. conduct a hypothesis test to check for a difference in the average number of hours worked for the two groups

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

none of these

23 + 34 add up to 57 so just inform the teacher of this really stupid mistake
