The answer is B: estrogen.

Explanation for each option: A) Testosterone - Incorrect. Testosterone is primarily produced in the testes in males and in small amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands in females, but it is not the primary hormone secreted by follicle cells in response to FSH. B) Estrogen - Correct. Follicle cells in the ovary secrete estrogen when stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Estrogen plays a key role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. C) Gonadotropins - Incorrect. Gonadotropins, such as FSH and LH, are hormones secreted by the pituitary gland that stimulate the gonads, but they are not secreted by the follicle cells in the ovary. D) Progesterone - Incorrect. Progesterone is primarily secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary after ovulation, not by the follicle cells in response to FSH. E) Inhibin - Incorrect. Inhibin is secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovary and acts to inhibit the secretion of FSH, but it is not the primary hormone secreted by follicle cells in response to FSH.

Summary: Follicle cells in the ovary secrete estrogen when stimulated by FSH.

Do married and unmarried women spend the same amount of time per week using Facebook? A random sample of 45 married women who use Facebook spent an average of 4.0 hours per week on this social media website. A random sample of 39 unmarried women who regularly use Facebook spent an average of 4.4 hours per week. Assume that the weekly Facebook time for married women has a population standard deviation of 1.2 hours, and the population standard deviation for unmarried, regular Facebook users is 1.1 hours per week. Using the 0.05 significance level, do married and unmarried women differ in the amount of time per week spent on Facebook? Required: a. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level: H0: μmarried women =μunmarried women: H2: μmarried women ≠μunmarried womenNote: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Reject H0 if 2< or 2>
