An automobile manufacturer claims that its jeep has a 36.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contr

acted to test the MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 150 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 35.8. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.4. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Make a decision.

Answer:

z=\frac{35.8-36.1}{\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{150}}}=-1.531    

p_v =2*P(z  

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 36.1 MPG (the claim by the manufacturer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given  

\bar X=35.8 represent the sample mean for the MPG

\sigma=2.4 represent the population deviation

n=150 sample size  

\mu_o =36.1 represent the value to check

\alpha=0.02 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if manufacturer is incorrect, the null and alternative hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 36.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 36.1  

The statistic is given by:

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

Replacing we got:

z=\frac{35.8-36.1}{\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{150}}}=-1.531    

P value

Since we are conducting a bilateral test we can find the p value like this:

p_v =2*P(z  

Conclusion

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is different from 36.1 MPG (the claim by the manufacturer)

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

And arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between each of the numbers are constant.

It is not A, because the difference between 3 and 9 is positive 6, and the difference between 9 and 81 is positive 72.

It is not C, because the difference between 4 and 1 is -3, and the difference between 1 and 4 is positive 3.

It is not D, because the difference between 2 and -2 is -4, and the difference between -2 and 2 is positive 4.

And it is B because the numbers maintain a constant difference between each other, which is -3.

scoray [572]

Step-by-step explanation:

cubing both sides (p+1)^3= (7)^3

=> p^3+1/p^3+ 3(p+1/p) = 343

=> p^3+ 1/p^3 + 3(7)= 343

=> p^3+1/p^3= 343-21

=> p^3+1/p^3= 322

hope it helps
