Answer:

a) The z-score for the mileage of the car is -3.16

b) It appears that the car is getting unusually low gas mileage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score formula is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

In which: X is the mileage per gallon we are going to find the z-score of, \mu is the mean value of this mileage and \sigma is the standard deviation of this value.

a. Find the​ z-score for the gas mileage of your​ car, assuming the advertised claim is correct.

The gas mileage for you car is 16.4 mpg, so X = 16.4

The advertised gas mileage is 20 mpg, so \mu = 20

The standard deviation is 1.14 mpg, so \sigma = 1.14

The z-score is:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{16.4 - 20}{1.14} = -3.16

b. Does it appear that your car is getting unusually low gas​ mileage?

The general rule is that a z-score lower than -1.96 is unusually low. So yes, it appears that the car is getting unusually low gas mileage.
