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 AREA of this figure?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

532m squared is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into two shapes

one will be a square and the other one a triangle

1) since the length and the width of the square is 18m just Multiply

18x18=324m squared

2) look carefully the width of the square you split is equal to the base of the triangle, so you connect the 18 and the 8 together.

18+8=26m squared

3) Now solve the triangle since you know the height which is 16m squared.

A=lw/2

26x16=416

416 divided by 2 is 208

4) finally just Add

208+324=532m squared

Hopes this helps!
