An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 31.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra

cted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 140 vans, they found a mean MPG of 31.1. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.3. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z=\frac{31.1-31.3}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{140}}}=-1.82  

p_v =2*P(z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.02 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT significantly different from 31.3 at 2% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=31.1 represent the sample mean

\sigma=1.3 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=140 sample size  

\mu_o =31.3 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.02 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z 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 can assume that we conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is equal to 31.3 , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =31.3  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 31.3  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

z-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:  

z=\frac{31.1-31.3}{\frac{1.3}{\sqrt{140}}}=-1.82  

P-value  

Since is a two-sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.02 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT significantly different from 31.3 at 2% of signficance.

In circle A, ∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE. What is the length of BE? 14 units 17 units 27 units 34 units
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The length of BE is 27 units ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In circle A:

∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE

Line segments A B, A E, and A D are radii

Lines are drawn from point B to point E and from point E to point D to form secants B E and E D

The length of B E is 3 x minus 24 and the length of E D is x + 10

We need to find the length of BE

∵ AB and AD are radii in circle A

∴ AB ≅ AD

In Δs EAB and EAD

∵ ∠BAE ≅ ∠DAE ⇒ given

∵ AB = AD ⇒ proved

∵ EA = EA ⇒ common side in the two triangles

- Two triangles have two corresponding sides equal and the

  including angles between them are equal, then the two

  triangles are congruent by SAS postulate of congruence

∴ Δ EAB ≅ Δ EAD ⇒ SAS postulate of congruence

By using the result of congruence

∴ EB ≅ ED

∵ EB = 3 x - 24

∵ ED = x + 10

- Equate the two expressions to find x

∴ 3 x - 24 = x + 10

- Add 24 to both sides

∴ 3 x = x + 34

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 2 x = 34

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 17

Substitute the value of x in the expression of the length of BE to find its length

∵ BE = 3 x - 24

∵ x = 17

∴ BE = 3(17) - 24

∴ BE = 51 - 24

∴ BE = 27

The length of BE is 27 units

A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 2 5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. Ho
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

5.28 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market and 2/5 of this weight is pears.

Since a fraction is a part of a whole, 1, then, the fraction repressing the weight of the apples is:

1 - 2/5 = 3/5

Therefore, the weight of apples is/

3 / 5 * 8.8 = 5.28 kg

She sold 5.28kg of apples at the farmer's market.
