Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Yes  there is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is  n =  25

    The mean is  \= x = 5.3 \ mpg

     The standard deviation is  \sigma = 1.8 \  mpg

    The z-score is  z = -1.94

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu = 6 \ mpg

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne 6

 Generally the p-value is mathematically evaluated as  

           p-value   =  2 * P( Z

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.94  is

         P( Z

=>  p-value   =  2 * 0.02619

=>  p-value   =  0.052

Let assume the level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

 Hence the  p-value > \alpha this mean that

   The  decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence
