An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 46.7 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 150 cars, they found a mean MPG of 46.5. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.1. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23    

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=46.5 represent the mean

\sigma=1.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=150 sample size  

\mu_o =46.7 represent the value to verify

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

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean for this case is 46.7, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 46.7  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 46.7  

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

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

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{46.5-46.7}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{150}}}=-2.23    

The p value would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since th p value is lower than the significance level of0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly different from 46.7 MPG

h(x) = 3 * (2)^x

Section A is from x = 1 to x = 2

h(1) = 3 * (2)^1 = 3 * 2 = 6

h(2) = 3 * (2)^2 = 3 * 4 = 12

so

the average rate of change  = (12 - 6)/(2 - 1) = 6


Section B is from x = 3 to x = 4

h(3) = 3 * (2)^3 = 3 * 8 = 24

h(4) = 3 * (2)^4 = 3 * 16 = 48

so

the average rate of change  = (48 - 24)/(4 - 3) = 24


Part B: How many times greater is the average rate of change of Section B than Section A? Explain why one rate of change is greater than the other. (6 points)

the average rate of change of section B is 24 and the average rate of change of section A is 6

So 24/6 = 4

The average rate of change of Section B is 4 times greater than the average rate of change of Section A

It's exponential function, not a linear function; so the rate of change is increasing.
