QUESTION  11

Hugo is keeping track of the total amount of money he has saved over time. The line graph below shows the data.

A line graph titled Money Saved Over Time has a horizontal X-axis labeled Months from 0 to 7 in increments of 1 and a vertical Y-axis labeled Hundreds of Dollars from 0 to 16 in increments of 2.

QUESTION 19

A college professor claims the proportion of students that complete a homework assignment is 70%.     To test this claim, a random sample of students are monitored and checked if they completed the home the algebra class.

Assume that the test statistic for this hypothesis test is −1.73.

Since this is a two tailed hypothesis test, assume that the critical values for this hypothesis test are −1.96 and 1.96.

Come to a decision for the hypothesis test and interpret your results with respect to the original claim.

There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of students that complete a homework assignment is 70%
