An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 39.0 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra

cted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 120 vans, they found a mean MPG of 38.8. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.2. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.

Answer:

The test statistic is -1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Test statistic (Z) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n

sample mean = 38.8miles/gallon, population mean = 39miles/gallon, sd = 2.2miles/gallon, n = 120vans

Z = (38.8 - 39) ÷ 2.2/√120 = -0.2 ÷ 2.2/10.95 = -0.2 ÷ 0.20 = -1.00 (to 2 decimal places)

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) Without doing an

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 3 data sets with values as:

(i) 8 9 10 11 12   ... Mean =10

(ii) 7 9 10 11 13    ... Mean =10

(iii) 7 8 10 12 13   ... Mean =10

We see that  data set shows mean deviations as

(i) -2 -1 0 1 2  

(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3    

(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3  

Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.

Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean).  Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.

Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)

(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.

b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice.  But between (ii) and (iii) we find that

increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
