company with a large fleet of cars hopes to keep gasoline costs down and sets a goal of attaining a fleet average of at least 26

miles per gallon. To see if the goal is being met, they check the gasoline usage for 50 company trips chosen at random, finding a mean of 25.02 mpg and a standard deviation of 4.83 mpg. Is this strong evidence that they have failed to attain their fuel economy goal

Answer:

t=\frac{25.02-26}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=-1.435    

p_v =P(t_{(49)}  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its significant lower than 26 so then the specification is satisfied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=25.02 represent the sample mean

s=4.83 represent the sample standard deviation

n=50 sample size  

\mu_o =26 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)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is at least 26 mpg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 26  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 26  

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".  

Calculate the statistic

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

t=\frac{25.02-26}{\frac{4.83}{\sqrt{50}}}=-1.435    

P-value

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

df=n-1=50-1=49  

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(49)}  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its significant lower than 26 so then the specification is satisfied.

What is the difference?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

<h2>D. \frac{x^{2}+3x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\ or StartFraction x squared + 3 x minus 12 Over (x + 3) (x minus 5) (x + 7) EndFraction</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression \frac{x}{x^{2}-2x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 2x - 35 }, the dfference is expressed as follows;

Step1: First we need to factorize the denominator of each function.

\frac{x}{x^{2}-2x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 2x - 35 }\\= \frac{x}{x^{2}-5x+3x-15 } - \frac{4}{x^{2} + 7x-5x - 35 }\\= \frac{x}{x(x-5)+3(x-5) } - \frac{4}{x( x+ 7)x-5(x +7) }\\= \frac{x}{(x-5)(x+3) } - \frac{4}{(x-5)(x +7) }\\\\

Step 2: We will find the LCM of the resulting expression

=  \frac{x}{(x-5)(x+3) } - \frac{4}{(x-5)(x +7) }\\= \frac{x(x+7)-4(x+3)}{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\= \frac{x^{2}+7x-4x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\= \frac{x^{2}+3x-12 }{(x-5)(x+3)(x+7)} \\

The final expression gives the difference
