An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted t

o test the actual 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 59.2. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.9. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim?

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 59.5 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is the same, that is:

H_0: \mu = 59.5

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that it is different, that is:

H_a: \mu \neq 59.5

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

59.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 59.5

After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 59.2. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.9.

This means that n = 250, X = 59.2, \sigma = 1.9

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{59.2 - 59.5}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{250}}}

z = -2.5

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of finding a mean that differs from 59.5 by at least 0.3, which is P(|Z|>-2.5), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -2.5.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.5 has a pvalue of 0.0062

2*0.0062 = 0.0124

The pvalue of the test is 0.0124 < 0.1, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level to support the testing firm's claim.

Apex Grocery wants to build a warehouse that is exactly five miles from each of the routes between stores L, M, and N. Which con
Elanso [62]

Answer: Option C - Construction Y because point E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.

Point E is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving an algebra problem, it sometimes helps to get a geometric picture of what's happening. Geometry says that three points determine a circle - in other words, given three points that are not

all on the same line, there is exactly one circle which passes through all 3. Finding the point equidistant from the 3 points is the same thing as finding the center of the circle that passes through all of them (since all points on a circle are equidistant from the center).

Our points are L, M and N. Draw the lines LM, LN and MN to form a triangle. Now construct the perpendicular bisectors of any two of the lines, and their intersection, point E, will be the center of this circle.

As shown in the Construction Y because E is the circumcentre of triangle LMN.

This is the best location for the warehouse as it is exactly equidistant from the three stores at L, M and N.
