Answer:

$u_{n} = -2 + (n-1)5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$u_{n} = a + (n-1)d$

$u_{3} = a + (3-1)d = 8$

$u_{3} = a + 2d = 8$

$u_{8} = a + (8-1)d = 33$

$u_{8} = a + 7d = 33$

Simultaenous Equations

a + 2d = 8

a + 7d = 33

By subtracting one equation from the other

(a + 7d = 33) - (a + 2d = 8)

(a - a) + (7d - 2d) = (33 - 8)

5d = 25

d = 25/5

d = 5

Now replace d in either equation to solve for a

a + 2(5) = 8

a + 10 = 8

a = 8 - 10 = -2

a = -2

a + 7(5) = 33

a + 35 = 33

a = 33 - 35 = -2

a = -2

$u_{n} = -2 + (n-1)5$

Answer:

The null hypothesis states that 48% of the healthcare provider's members received their flu shot.

The alternative hypothesis claims that the proportion of members who received their flu shot differs from 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A null hypothesis is a proposed statement regarding a population parameter that is tested for acceptance or rejection.

An alternative hypothesis presents a contradicting statement to the null hypothesis and is accepted when evidence disproves the null hypothesis.
