Bastien, Inc. has been manufacturing small automobiles that have averaged 50 miles per gallon of gasoline in highway driving. Th

e company has developed a more efficient engine for its small cars and now advertises that its new small cars average more than 50 miles per gallon in highway driving. An independent testing service road-tested 36 of the automobiles. The sample showed an average of 51.5 miles per gallon. The population standard deviation is 6 miles per gallon. You conduct a test with a 0.05 level of significance to determine whether or not the manufacturer's advertising campaign is legitimate. What is the p-value associated with the sample results (2 decimals)?

Answer:

We conclude that the the manufacturer's advertising campaign is not correct.

P-value of test = 0.067.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an independent testing service road-tested 36 of the automobiles. The sample showed an average of 51.5 miles per gallon. The population standard deviation is 6 miles per gallon.

We have to conduct a test to determine whether or not the manufacturer's advertising campaign is legitimate.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = population average gasoline of new small cars in highway driving.</em></u>

SO, <u>Null Hypothesis</u>, H_0 : \mu \leq 50 miles per gallon   {means that the manufacturer's advertising campaign is not correct}

<u>Alternate Hypothesis</u>, H_A : \mu > 50 miles per gallon   {means that the manufacturer's advertising campaign is correct}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z test</u> <u>statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                         T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where,  \bar X = sample average gasoline = 51.5 miles per gallon

              \sigma = population standard deviation = 6 miles per gallon

              n = sample of automobiles = 36

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =   \frac{51.5-50}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{36} } }

                               =  1.50

<em>Now at 0.05 significance level, the z table gives critical value of 1.6449 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of z as 1.50 < 1.6449, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region.</em>

<u>Also, P-value is given by the following formula;</u>

         P-value = P(Z > 1.50) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.50)

                                            = 1 - 0.93319 = <u>0.067 or 6.7%</u>

Therefore, we conclude that the the manufacturer's advertising campaign is not correct as its new small cars average less than or equal to 50 miles per gallon in highway driving.

Answer:

b = 33m is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 44m

b = ?

c = 55m

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

44² + b² = 55²

1936 + b² = 3025

b² = 3025 - 1936

b² = 1089

b = 33m

∴ b = 33m is the length of the missing leg.

Answer:

B, 150

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem, the sides of the triangle are 120 and 90, so when u  square them and add them together, you get 120^2 +90^2 = 22500

square root 22500 to find the hypotanuse which is the length from one corner to another. the anwser is 150m which is b

Answer: 64 centimeters squared.

Step-by-step explanation: This shape is a parallelogram. And the area of a parallelogram is just the base multiplied by the height. Here, the base is 10 cm and the height is 7 cm. So you might think the the area is just 70 centimeters squared. But here's the catch. There is a rectangular region in this parallelogram that is not shaded. But you can still easily solve this problem. All you need to do is find the area of that rectangular region and you already know the length and the width of this region. And, remember, the area of a rectangle is just the length and the width multiplied. So here, the area of that rectangular region is just 2 cm multiplied by 3 cm. Which will give you 6 centimeters squared. Now, all that's left to do is subtract the area of that rectangular region, 6 centimeters squared, from the total area of the parallelogram, 70 centimeters squared. And that should give you 64 centimeters squared as your final answer. I really hope this makes sense and is helpful.
