Lester Hollar is vice president for human resources for a large manufacturing company. In recent years, he has noticed an increase in absenteeism that he thinks is related to the general health of the employees. Four years ago, in an attempt to improve the situation, he began a fitness program in which employees exercise during their lunch hour. To evaluate the program, he selected a random sample of eight participants and found the number of days each was absent in the six months before the exercise program began and in the six months following the exercise program. Below are the results. Employee Before After 1 6 5 2 5 4 3 7 2 4 6 3 5 4 2 6 5 6 7 7 2 8 6 71. At the 0.05 significance level, can he conclude that the number of absences has declined? Estimate the p-value.2. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level.3. Compute the test statistic.4. The p-value is:.
a. between 0.05 and 0.1
b. between 0.005 and 0.01
c. less than 0.05
5. State your decision about the null hypothesis.
A. Do not reject H0
B. Reject H0

i would say the third one.

step-by-step explanation: liner would mean in a line and the only one that doesn't look like it's even thinking about forming a line would be the third one

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

if i put something wrong your not gonna like it so rather not say nothing.
