n automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 37.4 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contrac

ted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 280 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.8. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.3. 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:

Then z(s) is out of the acceptance region, we reject H₀,  doubts of the independent testing firm are valids

Step-by-step explanation:

We will develop a Hypothesis Test ( a 2 tail test since the independent testing firm is interested in finding out  if there is an incorrect MPG rating from the manufacturer

Test Hypothesis :

Null hypothesis                             H₀            μ    =    μ₀

Alternative Hypothesis                Hₐ             μ    ≠    μ₀

Significance Level   α  = 0,05    α/2  =  0,025

z(c) for α/2   from z-table      z(c)  = - 1, 96   and by symmetry  z(c) = 1,96

Calculating  z(s)

z(s) =  ( μ  -  μ₀ ) / σ /√n

z(s) = ( 37,8 - 37,4 ) / 2,3 /√280

z(s) = 0,4 * 16,73 / 2,3

z(s) = 2,90

Comparison between z(c)  and  z(s)

z(s) > z(c)       2,90 > 1,96

Then z(s) is out of the acceptance region, we reject H₀,  doubts of the independent testing firm are valids

Question 21

Let's complete the square

y = 3x^2 + 6x + 5

y-5 = 3x^2 + 6x

y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x)

y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1)

y - 5 = 3(x^2+2x+1) - 3

y - 5 = 3(x+1)^2 - 3

y = 3(x+1)^2 - 3 + 5

y = 3(x+1)^2 + 2

Answer: Choice D

============================================

Question 22

Through trial and error you should find that choice D is the answer

Basically you plug in each of the given answer choices and see which results in a true statement.

For instance, with choice A we have

y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3

-7 < -4(0+1)^2 - 3

-7 < -7

which is false, so we eliminate choice A

Choice D is the answer because

y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3

-9 < -4(-2+1)^2 - 3

-9 < -7

which is true since -9 is to the left of -7 on the number line.

============================================

Question 25

Answer: Choice B

Explanation:

The quantity (x-4)^2 is always positive regardless of what you pick for x. This is because we are squaring the (x-4). Squaring a negative leads to a positive. Eg: (-4)^2 = 16

Adding on a positive to (x-4)^2 makes the result even more positive. Therefore (x-4)^2 + 1 > 0 is true for any real number x.

Visually this means all solutions of y > (x-4)^2 + 1 reside in quadrants 1 and 2, which are above the x axis.
