How do you solve expotential equations and inequalities

Do graduates from uf tend to have a higher income than students at fsu, five years after graduation? a random sample of 100 graduates was taken from both schools. let muf be the population mean salary at uf and let mufsu be the population mean salary at fsu. how should we write the alternative hypothesis?

When you answer this can you explain

Acaterer charges $500 plus $30 per guest to cater a wedding. walt and traci don't want to spend more than $8000 on catering. write and solve an inequality in terms of the number of guests, g, that can be invited. a) 30g ? 8000; g ? 267 b) 500g < 8000; g < 16 c) 500 + 30g < 8000; g < 250 d) 500 + 30g ? 8000; g ? 250
