An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 56.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted

to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 56.0. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 2.1.
Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the testing firm's claim?

Answer:

z=\frac{56-56.1}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{200}}}=-0.673    

Since we are conducting a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z  

Since we have that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.02 we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is not significantly lower than 56.1 MPG the reference value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=56 represent the sample mean for the MPG

\sigma=2.1 represent the population standard deviation

n=200 sample size  

\mu_o =56.1 represent the reference value

\alpha=0.02 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We want to check if the true mean is less than 56.1 MPG the reference value, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 56.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 56.1  

Since we know the population deviation the statistic is given by:

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

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{56-56.1}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{200}}}=-0.673    

Since we are conducting a left tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z  

Since we have that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.02 we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is not significantly lower than 56.1 MPG the reference value.

What is the sum of all of the perfect squares between
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

(-138) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive are 16 and 25.

Sum of perfect square numbers 16 and 25 = 16 + 25 = 41

Sum of the remaining numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive means sum of the numbers from 17 to 24 plus 15.

Since sum of an arithmetic progression is defined by the expression

S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where n = number of terms

a = first term of the sequence

d = common difference

S_{8}=\frac{8}{2} [2\times 17+(8-1)\times 1]

   = 4(34 + 7)

   = 164

Sum of 15 + S_{8} = 15 + 164 = 179

Now the difference between 41 and sum of perfect squares between 15 and 25 inclusive = 41-179

= -138

Therefore, answer is (-138).
