Solution Steps

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 8(x-2) = -32 \), we need to isolate \( x \). First, we will distribute the 8 on the left side, then add or subtract terms to isolate \( x \).

Step 1: Distribute the 8

First, distribute the 8 on the left side of the equation: \[ 8(x - 2) = -32 \implies 8x - 16 = -32 \]

Step 2: Isolate the \( x \)-term

Next, add 16 to both sides of the equation to isolate the \( x \)-term: \[ 8x - 16 + 16 = -32 + 16 \implies 8x = -16 \]

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Finally, divide both sides by 8 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{-16}{8} \implies x = -2 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{x = -2} \]

Determine whether the claim stated below represents the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that (a) rejects the null hypothesis or (b) fails to reject the null hypothesis? A scientist claims that the mean incubation period for the eggs of a species of bird is at most 44 days. Does the claim represent the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis? Since the claim contains a statement of equality, it represents the null hypothesis. (a) How should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis? There is evidence to the claim that the mean incubation period for the eggs of a species of bird is at most 44 days.
