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

A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40

Multiplying B) by -.10
B)  -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75

Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75

Correct!!

The rental company also provides 4 different sizes of moving boxes for purchase.The volume of each box doubles in size from the volume of the next smallest box

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions those relation which produces a straight line graph while non - linear functios produces curves or other shapes asides a straight line. Non linear functios could be quadratic, Exponential or so on in nature.

Equation of a linear equation include :

y = a + bx OR

y = bx

First expression :

y = $50 + x ;

slope, b = 1 ; intercept, a = 50

Third expression :

y(x) = 105x

Second expression:

V(x) = V0 * e^2x

Second expression is exponential while the first and third is linear.
