State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha in each case. Be sure to identify the parameters that you use to state the hypotheses.
(a) A university gives credit in first-year calculus to students who pass a placement test. The mathematics department wants to know if students who get credit in this way differ in their success with second-year calculus. Scores in second-year calculus are scaled so the average each year is equivalent to a 75. This year 17students who took second-year calculus passed the placement test.
H0:μ>75;Ha:μ=75
H0:μ<75;Ha:μ=75
H0:μ=17;Ha:μ>17
H0:μ=17;Ha:μ≠17
(b) Experiments on learning in animals sometimes measure how long it takes a mouse to find its way through a maze. The mean time is 24 seconds for one particular maze. A researcher thinks that playing rap music will cause the mice to complete the maze slower. She measures how long each of 17 mice takes with the rap music as a stimulus.
H0:μ=24sec;Ha:μ>24sec
H0:μ=24sec;Ha:μ≠24sec
H0:μ>17sec;Ha:μ=17sec
H0:μ=17sec;Ha:μ<17sec
H0:μ=24sec;Ha:μ<24sec
(c) The average square footage of one-bedroom apartments in a new student-housing development is advertised to be 850 square feet. A student group thinks that the apartments are smaller than advertised. They hire an engineer to measure a sample of apartments to test their suspicion.
H0:μ=850ft2;Ha:μμ850ft2
H0:μ>850ft2;Ha:μ=850ft2
H0:μ=850ft2;Ha:μ>850ft2
H0:μ=850ft2;Ha:μ<850ft2
H0:μ<850ft2;Ha:μ=850ft2

: It is a statement showing population parameters as per the objective of the study. It generally takes "≤,≥,=" signs. Alternative hypothesis 
: It is also a statement describing population parameters as per the objective of the study. It generally takes ">, <, ≠" signs.

Igure 1 and figure 2 are two congruent parallelograms drawn on a coordinate grid as shown below: 4 quadrant coordinate grid showing two parallelograms. figure 1 has vertices at negative 5, 2 and negative 3, 4 and negative 4, 7 and negative 6, 5. figure 2 has vertices at 5, negative 2 and 7, negative 4 and 6, negative 7 and 4, negative 5. which two transformations can map figure 1 onto figure 2? reflection across the y-axis, followed by reflection across x-axis reflection across the x-axis, followed by reflection across y-axis reflection across the x-axis, followed by translation 10 units right reflection across the y-axis, followed by translation 5 units down
