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

Hey:) can you please help me posted picture of question
oee [108]
Answer:
x² + 10x + 25

Explanation:
Before we begin, remember the following:
(a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Now, for the given we have:
(x + 5)(x + 5)
We can note that the two brackets are identical.
Therefore, we can apply the above rule as follows:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = (x + 5)²
                     = (x)² + 2(x)(5) + (5)²
                     = x² + 10x + 25

Hope this helps :)

If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.

... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation

... 5x +4 = 49 . .  . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The left side dimension is then

... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm

The top dimension is

... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm

The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.
