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

Answer:

(x + 14)² + (y – 21/2)² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as seen below

(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²

Where (h,k) is at the center and r = radius

We are given that the radius is 1

We are also given that the center is at (-14,21/2)

So we know that r = 1, h = -14, and k = 21/2

So to find the equation of the circle we simply substitute these values into the equation of a circle

Equation of a circle: (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²

r = 1, h = -14, and k = 21/2

Substitute values

(x – (-14))² + (y – 21/2)² = 1²

1^2 = 1

The two negative signs before the 14 cancel out and it changes to + 14

The equation of a circle with a center at (-14,21/2) and a radius of 1 is (x + 14)² + (y – 21/2)² = 1
