An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 52.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

o test the actual MPG for this car since it is believed that the car has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 250 cars, they found a mean MPG of 52.8. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu = 52.6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 52.6  

z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976    

p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

\bar X=52.8 represent the sample mean  for the MPG of the cars

\sigma=1.6 represent the population standard deviation

n=250 sample size  of cars

\mu_o =52.6 represent the value that we want to test

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

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of MPG is different from 52.6 MPG, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 52.6  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 52.6  

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Calculate the statistic

Replacing we have this:

z=\frac{52.8-52.6}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{250}}}=1.976    

Decision

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.976)=0.0482  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level wedon't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 52.6 MPG.

Find the seventh term of the sequence which has a first term of 1/2 and has a common ratio of three
prohojiy [21]

The seventh term of the sequence is 364.5

<h3>Geometric progression </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the seventh term of the sequence

Using the formula,

a_{n}  = ar^{n-1}

Where a_{n} is the nth term

a is the first term

and r is the common ratio

From the given information,

a = 1/2

r = 3

Thus,

a_{7}  = (\frac{1}{2}) 3^{7-1}

a_{7}  = (\frac{1}{2}) 3^{6}

a_{7}  = \frac{1}{2} \times  729

a_{7}  = 364\frac{1}{2} \ OR \ 364.5

Hence, the seventh term of the sequence is 364.5
