John is buying pots for the plants in his garden. The small pots are priced at m dollars each. He has already spent b dollars on the big pots.
The following expression represents the total amount that John would spend on pots after buying x small pots.
*mx + b*
If the value of the small pots, m dollars, is tripled, select the statement that accurately describes its effect on the expression.

1) The amount that John has spent on big pots, b, will be one-third.

2) The amount that John has spent on big pots, b, will triple.

3) The amount that John will spend on small pots, mx, will triple.

4)The amount that John will spend on small pots, mx, will not change

Arecent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. assume that the distributions follow the normal probability distribution and the population standard deviations are equal. the information is summarized below. statistic men women sample mean 24.85 21.33 sample standard deviation 5.54 4.93 sample size 34 36 at the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? state the decision rule for 0.01 significance level: h0: μmen= μwomen h1: μmen ≠ μwomen. (negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? what is the p-value? (round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
