A research team is testing whether a fuel aditive increases a car's gas mileage. The maker of the additive claims that the addit

ive will increase a car's gas mileage by at least 6 mpg. Among 25 cars that were treated with the additive, the average increase in mileage was 5.3 mpg with a standard deviation of 1.8 mpg. The research team found the z-score to be -1.94. Is there enough evidence to reject the company's evidence?

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

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(0, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, a curved line with a minimum value of (0, negative 9) and maximum values of (negative 2.3, 16) and (2.3, 16), crosses the x-axis at (negative 3, 0), (negative 1, 0), (1, 0), and (3, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 9). Which is a y-intercept of the graphed function? (–9, 0) (–3, 0) (0, –9) (0, –3)

The y-intercept is the point where x = 0, and It says there that the graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -9)

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

Which of the following statements is true?
madreJ [45]

Answer: choice 2) SAS

AB = DE is one pair of congruent sides that forms the first S in SAS. The other S in SAS refers to the pair of congruent sides BC = EF. The A in SAS is the angle pair angle B = angle E. Note how angle B and angle E are between the two pairs of congruent sides. The order of the letters matters because SAS is different from SSA, which is not a valid congruence argument. Check out the attached image.
