An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 40.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra

cted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 39.9. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.4. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is -2.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the expected(claimed) mean, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 40.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.

This means that $\mu = 40.3$

After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 39.9. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.4.

This means, respectively, that:

$n = 250, X = 39.9, \sigma = 2.4$

So

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$t = \frac{39.9 - 40.3}{\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{250}}}$

$t = -2.64$

The value of the test statistic is -2.64.

Start at 10. Create a pattern that multiplies each number by 10

Yanka [14]

Pattern:

10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000, and so on.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must start by using 10 and multiplying it 10 times, 10 x 10 = 100.

Then, with 100 you must multiply it by 10 again, 100 x 10 = 1,000.

Countiue and you will get it.

And good luck! <3

Answer it answer it answer it

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 52.2 × 4.4 × 2 + 47.8 × 4.4 × 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square frame is the area of the inner square subtracted from the area of the outer square

Which gives;

52.2² - 47.8² = 440

Therefore;

Option A. 52.2² - 47.8² is a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Option B. 2 × ((52.2×2.2) + (47.8×2.2)) = 440, is a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Option C. 52.2 × 4.4 × 2 + 47.8 × 4.4 × 2 = 880, is not a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

The error is the thickness is 2.2 not 4.4

Option D. 100×(52.2 - 47.8) = (52.2 + 47.8) × (52.2 - 47.8) = 52.2² - 47.8² = 440, is a correct way of finding the area of the square frame

Find the present balance.

Triss [41]

<h3>Credited balance:-</h3>

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 115.90+115.90+345.85$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 231.80+345.85$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 577.65$

<h3>Debited amount:-</h3>

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 25.85+2.00$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 27.85$

<h3>Checked amount:-</h3>

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 19.45+21.02+95.98$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 117+19.45$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 136.45$

<h3>Total change in balance</h3>

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 577.65-(27.85+136.45)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 577.65-191.3$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 386.35$

Now

<h3>Current balance</h3>

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 386.35+271.31$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto\$ 657.66$

How to solve <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2n%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="2n =\frac{15}{2}" alt="2n

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$2n=\dfrac{15}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$\implies 2 \cdot 2n=2 \cdot \dfrac{15}{2}$

$\implies 4n=15$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\implies \dfrac{4n}{4}=\dfrac{15}{4}$

$\implies n=\dfrac{15}{4}$

$\dfrac14=\dfrac{n}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5:

$\implies 5 \cdot \dfrac14=5 \cdot \dfrac{n}{5}$

$\implies \dfrac54=n$

$\implies n=\dfrac54$
