The following section is a statement from the rental agreement Tim signed when he rented his car this past weekend. "Upon checko

ut, the fuel level of the vehicle will be determined by turning the vehicle on and visually inspecting the fuel gauge. The approximate fuel level will be recorded on the Check-Out sheet and verified with initials by the vehicle Renter. One copy of the Check-Out sheet will be given to the customer. Another copy will be kept with the on-site records of the vehicle. "The rented vehicle must be returned with a minimum fuel level the same as that indicated on the Check-Out sheet. A vehicle returned with a fuel level less than the approximate level indicated on the Check-Out sheet will be completely refueled with on-site pumps. The price of the fuel used to refuel the vehicle will be added to the Renter's total charge at a cost of $4.50 per gallon plus a $5.00 refueling charge." Tim is running extremely late and has just 5 minutes to return his rental car to the agency. The fuel tank in the car is half empty. It was full when he picked it up. (The car has a 12-gallon fuel tank.) He doesn't think he can get gas and get to the agency to return the car in time. Returning the car a day late will result in an extra daily rental charge of $32.00 and refueling the car on his own will cost $2.59 per gallon at the local gas station. Which of the following statements is true?
a. It would be cheaper to refuel the car and return it a day late.
b. It would be cheaper to return the car on time and pay the refueling costs.
c. It would cost about the same to return the car on time without gas or one day late with gas.
d. Tim is not responsible for refueling the car when he returns it.

<span>It is cheaper for Tim to return the car on time and pay the refueling costs. If the gas tank on the car is half empty and the rental agency charges $4.50 per gallon the costs to refill for him would be. $27.00 plus the $5.00 refueling fee. This would equal $32.00. If Tim returns the car late, he faces a $32.00 charge including the cost to refuel the car on his own. The cost of returning the car a day late is not the same costs as returning the car on time. Choice b is the better option and the best choice.</span>

The percent, X , of shrinkage o n drying for a certain type of plastic clay has an average shrinkage percentage :, where paramet
never [62]

Answer:

a) t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=45-1=44  

The critical value for this case is t_{\alpha}=1.68 since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4

b) p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=18.4 represent the sample mean

s=2.2 represent the sample standard deviation

n=45 sample size  

\mu_o =17.5 represent the value to verify

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

Part a

We want to test if the true mean is higher than 17.5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 17.5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 17.5  

The statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

And replacing we got:

t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=45-1=44  

The critical value for this case is t_{\alpha}=1.68 since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4

Part b

The p value would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(44)}>2.744)=0.0044

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

4 (x+1.50) = $38.00

Explanation:

The family purchases 4 tickets. Each tickets cost x dollars with a purchase fee of $1.50. So we need to multiply 4 times the sum of x plus $1.50. The total cost of the tickets needs to be $38.00.
