An auto company claims that the fuel efficiency of its sedan has been substantially improved. A consumer advocate organization w

ishes to compare the fuel efficiencies of its sedan between the 2017 and 2019 models. Each of 12 drivers drove both the 2017 and 2019 models on a highway and the fuel efficiency was measured (in miles per gallon). The same driver drove the same path for both the models.
Driver
Model 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2019 31.1 32.4 31.3 33.5 31.7 32.0 31.8 29.9 31.0 32.8 32.7 33.8
2017 28.7 32.1 29.6 30.5 31.9 30.9 32.3 33.1 29.6 30.8 31.1 31.6

Use the 0.1 level of significance to test the claim that the average fuel efficiency of the sedan has improved. Assume normal population.

Answer:

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{0.983 -0}{\frac{1.685}{\sqrt{12}}}=2.021

df=n-1=12-1=11

p_v =P(t_{(11)}>2.021) =0.0342

If we compare the the p value with the significance level provided \alpha=0.1, we see that p_v < \alpha, so then we can reject the null hypothesis. and there is a significant increase in the miles per gallon from 2017 to 2019 at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Let put some notation :

x=test value 2017 , y = test value 2019

x: 28.7 32.1 29.6 30.5 31.9 30.9 32.3 33.1 29.6 30.8 31.1 31.6

y: 31.1 32.4 31.3 33.5 31.7 32.0 31.8 29.9 31.0 32.8 32.7 33.8

Solution to the problem

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x \leq 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x >0

Because if we have an improvement we expect that the values for 2019 would be higher compared with the values for 2017

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=y_i-x_i and we obtain this:

d: 2.4, 0.3, 1.7,3,-0.2, 1.1, -0.5, -3.2, 1.4, 2, 1.6, 2.2

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{11.8}{12}=0.983

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =1.685

We assume that the true difference follows a normal distribution. The 4th step is calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{0.983 -0}{\frac{1.685}{\sqrt{12}}}=2.021

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{(11)}>2.021) =0.0342

If we compare the the p value with the significance level provided \alpha=0.1, we see that p_v < \alpha, so then we can reject the null hypothesis. and there is a significant increase in the miles per gallon from 2017 to 2019 at 10% of significance.

vovangra [49]
Light A flashes every 2 minutes while light B flashes every 7. The goal is to figure out when both lights flash at the same time and then figure out the other part later. You have to find the common multiples of 7 and 2. Meaning that you have to find out which number can they both be multiplied into. In this case, it is 14 because 7 can be multiplied by 2 to get 14 and 2 can be multiplied by 7. So if every 14 minutes they flash together at the same time, now you need to find out what time AFTER 3 will they both flash. You know that they both flashed at 1:00 so they will flash again at 1:14 and 1:28 and so on, but you need to find out when is the soonest they will flash after 3. 2 hours after the 1:00 flash will be 3:00 so that is 120 minutes. 120 minutes divided by 14 minutes comes to 8.5 but you dont need the decimal. Just simply multiply 14 by 8 and that comes to 112 minutes and if you add that to 1:00 you get 2:52. so they flashed at 2:52 so the next time they flash will be 14 minutes after 2:52.

Find the inequality represented by the graph.
baherus [9]

Answer:

y > 1/3 x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it would be easiest to find the equation of the line from the two integer points given, which are (0, -3) and (3, -2).

Find the change of y over the change of x to get the slope of the line.

(-2 - (-3))/(3 - 0) = 1/3

Since the line intercepts the y axis at (0, -3), the equation of the line would be

y = 1/3x - 3

We can see that the shaded portion is above the line, (and that the line is dotted) so this graph represents

<u>y > 1/3 x - 3</u>

one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units. are these two figures scaled versio
Amanda [17]

Answer: The both triangle are not scale version to each other.

Explanation:

It is given that the one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.

The two shapes are scaled version of each other if their corresponding sides are in same proportion. In other words the if two shapes scaled version of each then the shapes are similar.

The sides or first rectangle are 2 and 7. The measures of second rectangle are 11 and 37.

The proportion of small side is,

\frac{2}{11}

The proportion of large side is,

\frac{7}{37}

So,

\frac{2}{11}\neq \frac{7}{37}

Since the proportion are not equal, therefore  both triangle are not scale version to each other.
