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

Juli2301 [7.4K]
To find an average you take the numbers to be averaged and add them together then You take the number and divide it by the number of numbers, in this case 4, and that gives you the average.
on this problem you want to do the opposite. you know the average she wants, an 87, so you multiply it by 4. 87*4=348. then you add the three numbers you have (88,81 and 87) and you get 256.
then you subtract 256 from 348 and you get 92. 92 is your answer to check just add 87+81+88+92=348
348/4=87
87 was the average she wanted.
Hope this helped! good luck :)
