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.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

<h3>If the taste tester takes 10 minutes to eat a cheeseburger, then it would take him  is 3276\times 10 = 32760 minutes Eating round the clock, it would take him   is \frac{546}{24} = 22 days 18 hours</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that "In order to develop a more appealing cheeseburger, a franchise used taste tests with 13 different buns, 5 different cheeses, 2 type of lettuce, and 3 types of tomatoes"

From the given we can write

13 buns

8 cheese

4 lettuces

3 tomatoes

 ∴ There would be  different cheeseburger combinations  is given by

13\times 8\times 4\times 3 = 3,276

Given that if the taste tester takes 10 minutes to eat a cheeseburger, then it would take him

3276\times 10 = 32760 minutes

Eating round the clock, it would take him

\frac{32760}{60}=546 hours

\frac{546}{24} = 22 days 18 hours
