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

A. After the mod. One wall is “x” longer than original (horizontal in diagram) and the other is “x” shorter (vertical)
(30+x)(30-x)

b. He original area = 30 x 30 = 900 sq. ft.
The mod. Area is (30+6)(30-6) = 36x24= 764 sq. ft.

So the room was largest to begin with when it was a square

Ms. Federman graded 5 papers in 40 minutes. At this rate, how many minutes will it take her to grade 30 papers?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

240 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's 40 minutes for just 5 papers, we need to figure how many minutes it would take to grade just 1. So you have to divide 40 by 5 which is 8. Then 8 time 30 which is 240.
