An automobile manufacturer who wishes to advertise that one of its models achieves 30 mpg (miles per gallon) decides to carry ou

t a fuel efficiency test. Six nonprofessional drivers were selected, and each one drove a car from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The resulting fuel efficiencies (in miles per gallon) are given below:
27.3 29.4 31.2 28.4 30.2 29.6
Assuming that fuel efficiency is normally distributed under these circumstances, do the data contradict the claim that true average fuel efficiency is (at least) 30 mpg? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.05. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Answer:

t=\frac{29.35-30}{\frac{1.365}{\sqrt{6}}}=-1.17  

p_v =P(t_{(5)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.  

We can say that at 5% of significance the true mean is not significantly less than 30 so then the claim that true average fuel efficiency is (at least) 30 mpg makes sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

The mean and sample deviation can be calculated from the following formulas:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i -\bar X)}{n-1}}

\bar X=29.35 represent the sample mean  

s=1.365 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=6 sample size  

\mu_o =30 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is lower than 30 or no, the system of hypothesis are :  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 30  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 30  

Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{29.35-30}{\frac{1.365}{\sqrt{6}}}=-1.17  

P-value  

We need to calculate the degrees of freedom first given by:  

df=n-1=6-1=5  

Since is a one-side left tailed test the p value would given by:  

p_v =P(t_{(5)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis.  

We can say that at 5% of significance the true mean is not significantly less than 30 so then the claim that true average fuel efficiency is (at least) 30 mpg makes sense

Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the
vekshin1

We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the  following exponential function: y = 48000(0.76)^t where y represents the car's  value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.

We know that an exponential decay function is in form y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, where,

y = Final value,

a = Initial value,

r = Decay rate in decimal form,

x = time.

Upon comparing our given function y = 48000(0.76)^t with standard decay function  y=a\cdot (1-r)^x, we can see that 1-r=0.76.

Let us solve for r.

1-1-r=0.76-1

-r=-0.24

r=0.24

Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.

0.24\times 100\%=24\%

Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.

If you can, answer at least 2 question I put 10 points on it
igomit [66]

Answer:

a) one solution(x = 9)

b) no solution

c) infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To solve this equation, we can add 4 on both sides in order to isolate x:

x - 4 =5

+ 4     + 4

x = 9

Since x equals 9, that counts as only one solution, as there is only one value of x that makes the equation true.

b) We start by subtracting 2x from both sides to combine the variable terms:

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

-2x         -2x

-6 = 5

The statement, -6 = 5 is never true and it is not dependent on the value of x. This means there are no solutions to this equation.

c) We can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to combine the terms with x:

3x + 12 = 3x + 12

-3x          -3x

12 = 12

The statement above is always true, and no matter the value of x, it will always be true. This means there are infinite solutions to the equation.

Which table represents of a linear function?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

X | Y

2 | 7

4 | 9     <-- linear.

6 | 11

8 | 13

A linear function is when there is an even consonant decline or up-rise.

X | Y

1  | 2

2 | 4 <-- also linear.

3 | 6

4 | 8

Which of the following graphs shows the<br> solution set to 2x &lt; 6 and 3x + 2 &gt;<br> -4?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The third picture

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x in both equations

2x<6

Divide both sides by 2:

x<3

3x+2>-4

Subtract 2 from both sides:

3x>-6

Divide both sides by 3:

x>-2

There is this trick you can use when x is on the left side of the equation to find out which way to shade in you graph. Keep in mind this is only for the left side, it will not work if your variable is on the right.

When the symbol is facing left < then shade left, imagine it is pointing which way to shade. x<3 is represented by the 3 picture on the left. When the symbol is facing right > then shade right, again it is pointing which way to shade. x>-2 is represented by the 3 picture on the right.

The circles are not filled in because the symbol is < and > rather than \leq  and \geq. When it is greater than or equal to or less than and equal to (represented by the line under the symbol), then the circle is shaded in.
