In automobile mileage and gasoline-consumption testing, 13 automobiles were road tested for 300 miles in both city and highway d

riving conditions. The following data were recorded for miles-per-gallon performance.City: 16.2 16.7 15.9 14.4 13.2 15.3 16.8 16.0 16.1 15.3 15.2 15.3 16.2 Highway: 19.4 20.6 18.3 18.6 19.2 17.4 17.2 18.6 19.0 21.1 19.4 18.5 18.7 Use the mean, median, and mode to make a statement about the difference in performance for city and highway driving.

Answer:

Looking at the mean, the median and the mode, cars are more efficient on a highway than in a city

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the average (mean) performance by adding all values and dividing the sum by the number of values added.

Mean_{city} =\frac{(16.2+16.7+15.9+14.4+13.2+15.3+16.8+16.0+16.1+15.3+15.2+15.3+16.2)mpg }{13} =15.6 mpg

Mean_{highway} =\frac{(19.4+20.6+18.3+18.6+19.2+17.4+17.2+18.6+19.0+21.1+19.4+18.5+18.7 )mpg }{13} =18.9 mpg

Then, to know what the median is, we have to order from least to greatest and look the middle value, i.e. half of the values will be higher than the median and half will be lower.

For the mode, we have to look up what is the most repeated value in our list.

For city performances:

  1. 13.2
  2. 14.4
  3. 15.2
  4. 15.3
  5. 15.3
  6. 15.3
  7. 15.9
  8. 16
  9. 16.1
  10. 16.2
  11. 16.2
  12. 16.7
  13. 16.8  

The median value is 15.9 miles per gallon, and the mode is 15.3 miles per gallon.

For highway performances:

  1. 17.2
  2. 17.4
  3. 18.3
  4. 18.5
  5. 18.6
  6. 18.6
  7. 18.7
  8. 19
  9. 19.2
  10. 19.4
  11. 19.4
  12. 20.6
  13. 21.1

The median value is 18.7 miles per gallon, and the mode is 18.6 and 19.4 miles per gallon.

We can say then, that looking at the mean, the median and the mode, cars are more efficient on a highway than in a city and that the least-consuming car in a city still is worst  in terms of efficiency than the worst-performing in a highway.

Which is f(6) for the quadratic function graphed?<br> 0 -2<br> * -0.5<br> 1.5<br> 4
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure theres a graph to this so....

The given parabolic graph of quadratic function

To find:What is F(6) for the quadratic function

Solution:We have given graph of quadratic function

there is a different value for Y and a different value for X

For f(6)

here X=6, need to find graph of quadratic function

X=6

f(6)=4

Y=4

Your welcome :)

Ally has 4 times as many pencils as Anna Claire. They have 30 pencils in all. How many pencils does Ally have?
dexar [7]

T = 30

A = 4c

A + c = T

Anna Claire has 6 pencils. Times 4 makes Ally's pencil count. 4 * 6 = 24

24 + 6 = 30. So, you answer is: Ally has 24 pencils.

Game consoles: A poll surveyed 341 video gamers, and 95 of them said that they prefer playing games on a console, rather than a
brilliants [131]

Answer:

proportion of gamers who prefer console does not differ from 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n = 341 ; x = 95 ; Phat = x / n = 95/341 = 0.279

H0 : p = 0.29

H1 : p ≠ 0.29

The test statistic :

T = (phat - p) ÷ √[(p(1 - p)) / n]

T = (0.279 - 0.29) ÷ √[(0.29(1 - 0.29)) / 341]

T = (-0.011) ÷ √[(0.29 * 0.71) / 341]

T = -0.011 ÷ 0.0245725

T = - 0.4476532

Using the Pvalue calculator from test statistic score :

df = 341 - 1 = 340

Pvalue(-0.447, 340) ; two tailed = 0.654

At α = 0.01

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the null and conclude that there is no significant evidence that proportion of gamers who prefer console differs from 29%
