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)

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ∠1 +  ∠2 = 180    {linear pair}

    105 +∠2 = 180

            ∠2 = 180 - 105

            ∠2 = 75°

Reason: Linear pair

2) ∠3 = ∠1          {Vertically opposite angles are congruent}

   ∠3 = 105

Reason: Vertically opposite angles are congruent

What is the slope of the line graphed on the coordinate plane
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The slope = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

m=\frac{6-3}{2-(-2)}=\frac{6-3}{2+2}

m = 3/4

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(A)m\angle 2=125^\circ\\(C)m\angle 8=55^\circ\\(E)m\angle 14=100^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the problem is drawn and attached.

Given that:

m\angle 9 =80^\circ\\m\angle 5 =55^\circ

m\angle 5+ m\angle 6=180^\circ\\55^\circ+ m\angle 6=180^\circ\\m\angle 6=180^\circ-55^\circ\\m\angle 6=125^\circ\\$Now:\\m\angle 6 = m\angle 2 $(Corresponging angles)\\Therefore m\angle 2=125^\circ\\

m\angle 5= m\angle 8=55^\circ $(Vertically Opposite Angles)

Also

m\angle 9+ m\angle 10=180^\circ\\80^\circ+ m\angle 10=180^\circ\\m\angle 10=180^\circ-80^\circ\\m\angle 10=100^\circ\\$Now:\\m\angle 10 = m\angle 14 $(Corresponging angles)\\Therefore m\angle 14=100^\circ\\
