Suppose that an automobile manufacturer designed a radically new lightweight engine and wants to recommend the grade of gasoline

that will have the best fuel economy. The four grades are: regular, below regular, premium, and super premium. The test car made three trial runs on the test track using each of the four grades and the miles per gallon recorded. At the 0.05 level, what is the critical value of F used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel is the same. Show your work.

Regular: Below Regular Premium Super Premium

$39.31 36.69 38.99 40.04

39.87 40.00 40.02 39.89

39.87 41.01 39.99 39.93

A.) 3.49
B.) 4.07

Answer:

B) 4.07

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the mean of all the data, which is the same as the mean of the means of each grade of gasoline:

Regular    BelowRegular   Premium   SuperPremium

39.31             36.69                38.99             40.04

39.87            40.00                40.02             39.89

39.87            41.01                  39.99             39.93

X1⁻=39.68    X2⁻= 39.23       X3⁻= 39.66    X4⁻=  39.95

Xgrand⁻ = (39.68+39.23+39.66+39.95)/4 = 39.63

Next we need to calculate the sum of squares within the group (SSW) and the sum of squares between the groups (SSB), and the respective degrees of freedom):

SSW = [ (39.31-39.68)² + (39.87-39.68)² + (39.87-39.68)² ] + [ (36.69-39.23)² + (40.00-39.23)² + (41.01-39.23)² ] + [ (38.99-39.66)² + (40.02-39.66)² + (39.99-39.66)² ] + [ (40.04-39.95)² + (39.89-39.95)² + (39.93-39.95)² ] = [0.2091] + [10.2129] + [0.6874] + [0.0121] = 11.12

SSW =  11.12

Degrees of freedom in this case is calculated by m(n-1), with m being the number of grades of gasoline (4) and n being the number of trial results for each one (3), so we would have 4(3-1) = 8 degrees of freedom

SSB = [ (39.68-39.63)² + (39.68-39.63)² + (39.68-39.63)²] + [ (39.23-39.63)² + (39.23-39.63)² + (39.23-39.63)² ] + [ (39.66-39.63)² + (39.66-39.63)² + (39.66-39.63)² ] + [ (39.95-39.63)² + (39.95-39.63)² +(39.95-39.63)² ] = [0.0075] + [0.48] + [0.0027] + [0.3072] = 0.7974

SSB =  0.80

For this case, the degrees of freedom are m-1, so we would have 4-1 = 3 degrees of freedom

Now we can establish the hypothesis for the test:

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4

The null hypothesis states that the means of miles per gallon for each fuel are the same, indicating that the drade of gasoline does not make a difference, therefore our alternative hypothesis will be:

H1: the grade of gasoline does makes a difference

We will use the F statistic to test the hypothesis, which is calculated like follows:

F - statistic = (SSB/m-1) / (SSW/m(n-1)) = (0.80/3) / (11.12/8) = 0.19

We know that the level of significance we are using is α = 0.05, so to find the critical value F we need to look at some table of critical values for the F distribution for the 0.05 significance level (like the attached image). Then we just need to look fot the value that is located in the intersection between the degrees of freedom we have in the numerator (horizontal) and the denominator (vertical) of the statistic (3 and 8). That critical value is:

Fc = 4.07

What is the slope between (-4,4) and (-6,6)
nalin [4]

\textsf{Let's calculate the slope of the line passing thought the points (-4, 4) and (-6, 6) } \\ \textsf{using the following formula: }\mathsf{m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}} \textsf{ where m is the slope of the line.}\textsf{So:}

\mathsf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{4 - 6}{-4 - (-6)} = \dfrac{-2}{2} = -1}

\textsf{Hence the slope is -1.}
