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

Can somebody help mee plzzzzzzzz
hammer [34]

Answer:

lines a and b are parallel. The slopes are -1/3

None of the lines are perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out if any of the lines are parallel or perpendicular to each other, you have to find the slopes of each line. To find the slope look at the graph find the rise over run for all of the lines:

line a: This line goes down one every time it goes over 3, which can be represented by -1/3

line b: This lines goes down one every time it goes over 3, which can also be written as -1/3

line c: This line goes up 5 every time it goes over 2, which makes the slope 5/2

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Line a and line b have the same slope, so they are parallel.

When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. Since none of the slopes are a negative reciprocal of another slope, we have no perpendicular lines.

Hope this helps :)

Solve l 3x-7 l = 2
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1) Solutions are x = 3 and x = 5/3

2) Solution are x ≤ 13/2 and  x ≤ -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given absolute inequality,

|3x-7| = 2

⇒ 3x - 7 = ± 2

⇒ 3x = 7 ± 2

\implies x=\frac{7\pm 2}{3}

x=\frac{7+2}{3}\text{ or }x=\frac{7-2}{3}

\implies x = 3\text{ or }x=\frac{5}{3}

2) l 2x-5 l ≤ 8

⇒  2x-5  ≤ ±8

⇒   2x ≤ 5 ± 8

\implies x\leq \frac{5\pm 8}{2}

x\leq \frac{5+8}{2}\text{ or }x\leq \frac{5-8}{2}

\implies x \leq \frac{13}{2}\text{ or }x\leq-\frac{3}{2}

Solve the quadratic equation x2=25/36.<br><br><br>What are the solutions of the equation x2=25/36?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x is equal to positive 5/6 and negative 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you simply need to take the square root of both sides:

x^2 = \frac{25}{36}\\\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}}\\x = \pm \frac{5}{6}
