Owen's math teacher finds that there's roughly a linear relationship between the amount of time students spend on their homework and their weekly quiz scores. This relationship can be represented by the equation y = 67 + 6x, where y represents the expected quiz score and a represents hours spent on homework that week. What is the meaning of the x-value when y = 99? A student's expected quiz score if they spent 1 hour on their homework. A student's expected quiz score if they spent 99 hours on their homework. The change in expected quiz score for every additional one hour students spend on their homework. The number of hours a student should spend on their homework to expect a score of 99 on the quiz.

An economist wondered if people who go to the movies on weekdays go more or less often on Fridays than any other day. She figured that if it were truly random, 20% of these movie-goers would go on Fridays. She randomly sampled 50 people who go to movies on weekdays and asked them on which day they attend movies most frequently. Of those sampled, 14 indicated that they go on Fridays more often than other days. The economist conducts a one-proportion hypothesis test at the 5% significance level, to test whether the true proportion of weekday movie-goers who go most frequently on Fridays is different from 20%. For this test: Ho: p = .2, Ha: p≠2
