An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 31.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

o test the actual 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 population standard deviation is known to be 1.3. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer:

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

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 31.3 MPG

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=31.1 represent the sample mean  

\sigma=1.3 represent the population standard deviation

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

p_v represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is equal to 31.3 MPG, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =31.3  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 31.3  

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

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

Replacing we got:

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

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =2*P(z  

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 31.3 MPG

Explain how you would solve 5x - 3 = 9. (there should be a minimum of 2<br> complete sentences). *
SpyIntel [72]
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)

Round the number 234,679 to the nearest hundred thousand
alexandr1967 [171]
To round numbers to the nearest hundred thousand, make the numbers whose last five digits are 00001 through 49999 into the next lower number that ends in 00000. For example 6,424,985 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand would be 6,400,000.
