p -value.
Do you reject or not reject the null hypothesis? Why?
Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.
Decreasing stocks survey
Randomly pick eight stocks from the newspaper. Using two consecutive days’ business sections, test whether the stocks went down, on average, for the second day.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
