Last Wednesday, two friends met up after school to read the book they were both assigned in Literature class. Herman can read 2 pages per minute, and he had already read 37 pages. Eliana, who has a reading speed of 3 pages per minute, had read 25 pages. Eventually they had read the same number of pages. How long did that take? How many pages had each of them read?

The vice president of programming at nbc is finalizing the prime-time schedule for the fall. she has decided to include a hospital drama but is unsure which of two possibilities to select. she has a pilot called the surgeon and another called critical care. to her make a final decision, a sample of 20 viewers from throughout the united states was asked to watch the two pilots and indicate which show they prefer. the results were that 12 liked the surgeon, 7 liked critical care, and one had no preference. state the decision rule, using the 0.10 significance level. h0: π = 0.50 h1: π ≠ 0.50 1. reject h0 if number of + signs is either < = or > = 2. what is your decision regarding h0? is there a preference for one of the two shows?
