Congress regulates corporate fuel economy and sets an annual gas mileage for cars. A company with a large fleet of cars hopes to

meet the 2011 goal of 30.2mpg or better for their fleet of cars. To see if the goal is being met, they check the gasoline usage for 50 company trips chosen at random, finding a mean of 32.12mpg and a standard deviation of 4.83mpg. In this strong evidence that they have attained their fuel economy goal? a. Define the parameter and state the hypotheses. b. Define the sampling distribution (mean and standard deviation). c. Perform the test and calculate P-value d. State your conclusion. e. Explain what the p-value means in this context.

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 30.2  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 30.2  

b) X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \sigma=4.83)

And the distribution for the random sample is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}=0.683)

c) t=\frac{32.12-30.2}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=2.81    

p_v =P(t_{(49)}>2.81)=0.0035  

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 30.2.  

e) The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct. And for this case is a value to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

\bar X=32.12 represent the sample mean  

s=4.83 represent the sample standard deviation

n=50 sample size  

\mu_o =30.2 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

a. Define the parameter and state the hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 30.2 mpg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 30.2  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 30.2  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

b. Define the sampling distribution (mean and standard deviation).

Let X the random variable who represent the variable of interest. And we know that the distribution for X is:

X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \sigma=4.83)

And the distribution for the random sample is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=32.12, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}=0.683)

c. Perform the test and calculate P-value

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{32.12-30.2}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=2.81    

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=50-1=49  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(49)}>2.81)=0.0035  

d. State your conclusion.

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 30.2.  

e. Explain what the p-value means in this context.

The p-value is the probability of obtaining the observed results of a test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct. And for this case is a value to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

  9350 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can go at this. Here are 3 of them:

  1. along an extension of the lower right vertical edge, divide the figure into a rectangle and a right triangle.
  2. between the upper left corner and the inside corner at lower right draw a diagonal line to divide the figure into a trapezoid and a triangle.
  3. subtract the area of the trapezoid at the right from the area of the bounding rectangle

__

The relevant formulas for area are ...

  rectangle: A = LW . . . . . . . . . . . length times width

  trapezoid: A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . b1, b2 are the bases, h is the height

  triangle: A = (1/2)bh . . . . . . . . . . . b is the base, h is the height

__

Here's what those computations look like:

1. rectangle: 60m wide by 80 m high = 4800 m².

  right triangle: base 190-60 = 130 m; height = 80-10 = 70 m.

     area = (1/2)(130 m)(70 m) = 4550 m²

  figure area = 4800 m² +4550 m² = 9350 m² . . . . area of figure

__

2. The trapezoid has bases of 80 m and 10 m, and a height of 60 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(80 m +10 m)(60 m) = 2700 m²

The triangle has a base of 190 m and a height of 80-10 = 70 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(190 m)(70 m) = 6650 m²

Then the total area is 2700 m² +6650 m² = 9350 m² . . . total area

__

3. The bounding rectangle is 190 m by 80 m, so its area is ...

  A = LW = (190 m)(80 m) = 15200 m²

The (negative) trapezoid at right has bases of 10 m and 80 m, and a width of 190-60 = 130 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(10 m +80 m)(130 m) = 5850 m²

The area of the figure is the difference between these:

  figure area = 15200 m² -5850 m² = 9350 m² . . . figure area

Answer:

128 cubes can fit in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: Volume of rectangular prism = 2 units³ and Cube with edge = 1/4 unit

We must find: The number of cubes that can fill the prism

Firstly, find the volume of 1 cube:

Volume = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4

Volume = 1/64 units³

Next find the number of cubes that can go into the prism:

Number of cubes = 2 ÷ 1/64

Number of cubes = 128

Therefore 128 cubes can fit in.
