Suppose that an automobile manufacturer advertises that its new hybrid car has a mean gas mileage of 50 miles per gallon. You ta

ke a simple random sample of n = 30 hybrid vehicles and test their gas mileage. You find that in this sample, the average is 47 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 5.5 miles per gallon. Is there enough evidence to support the advertised claim using α = 0.05? What is the null and alternative hypothesis for this problem?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

H0 : µ = 50

Ha : µ ≠ 50

α = 0.05

x¯ = 47

s = 5.5

To find the score, we will use the formula below,

z =(x¯ − µ)/s/√n

z =47 − 50/5.5/√30

z = −3.0/1.0042

z = -2.988

z ≈ -3

The cumulative area for this z-score is 0.0013.

This is a two-tailed test:

P = 2(0.0013) = 0.0026.

Since P = 0.0026 < 0.05 = α, we make the decision to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that there is not enough statistical evidence to support the advertiser’s claim of an average of 50 miles per gallon.

Also,

The critical value for a two tailed test is zc = 1.96

Since it is observed that

|z| = |-3| = 3> 1.96 = zc

It is then concluded that the null hypothesis is rejected.

Confidence interval

Xˉ ± zc • σ/√n

47 ± 1.96 ×5.5/√30

47 ± 1.96

(45.032, 48.968) gallons

What is the answer.... <br> Because I don't get the answer for the one that pops up
RUDIKE [14]
24/7 = 180/x....24 ft to 7 seconds = 180 ft to x seconds
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (180)(7)
24x = 1260
x = 1260/24
x = 52.5....so it will take 52.5 seconds

Find the quotient and the remainder: (x^2+3x-4)/(x-1)
skelet666 [1.2K]
Evaluate this...
\frac{x^2+3x-4}{x-1}
the x at the bottom cancels out one of the xs at the top so it will be
\frac{x^2+2x-4}{-1}
Now the one cancels out one of the 1s in the -4 so
{x^2+2x-3}

Hope this helps :)
