Answer:
1/12 of 1 =0.08333333333
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer, divide 7.2 miles by 3 hrs, this would get you to answer B, 2.4 miles per hour
Answer:
The value of the test statistic is -2.64.
Step-by-step explanation:
The test statistic is:
In which X is the sample mean, 
is the expected(claimed) mean, 
is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 40.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.
This means that 
After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 39.9. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.4.
This means, respectively, that:
So
The value of the test statistic is -2.64.
Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97. But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,
μ = 97
Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions. This means the standard deviation of the average x is
σ = 17/√n
We want to be 95% certain
97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5
By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that
μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ
Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve
2σ = 5
2 (17/√n) = 5
√n = 2 (17/5)
n = (34/5)² = 46.24
We better round up.
Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean
