Mileage tests are conducted for a particular model of automobile. If a 98% confidence interval with a margin of error of 1 mile

per gallon is desired, how many automobiles should be used in the test? Assume that preliminary mileage tests indicate the standard deviation is 2.6 miles per gallon. Anderson, David R.. Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics (p. 377). South-Western College Pub. Kindle Edition.

Answer: 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.01}=2.33

margin of error : E= 1 mile per gallon

Population standard deviation: \sigma=2.6 miles per gallon.

We know that when the population standard deviation is known then the formula to find the sample size is given by  :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma}{E})^2

n=(\dfrac{(2.33)\times 2.6}{1})^2=36.699364\approx37  [Round to the next whole number.]

Hence, the required number of automobiles should be used in the test = 37

Answer:leading Question

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading Question is the type of question that implicitly encourages a respondent to answer in a particular way. Leading questions are generally inappropriate as they lead to false and slanted information.

for example: If you ask an employee that "Do you have any Problem with your boss?"

This questions explicitly encourages the employee to think that there are Problems.

Another example is that  

"How fast is truck moving when it crashed into the car?"

This question directly blames the truck that it is at fault.

Similarly, the above question indicates that all Americans must possess cell phones
