In the late 2000's sales of SUVs decreased due to higher gas prices and improved alternative vehicles. A car dealer is intereste

d whether it takes more days to sell SUV's vs. small cars. He gathers data from a sample of the most recent couple of months of sales and calculates that the he sold 18 SUV's with an average number of days to sale of 95 and a standard deviation of 32 days. For small cars, he sold 38 of them in an average of 48 days with a standard deviation of 24 days. The dealer wants to estimate how much longer it takes to sell an SUV vs. a small car by constructing a 95% confidence interval. 1. The facts of this problem are:

Answer:

1. The facts are;

\overline x _1 = 95 days

s₁ = 32 days

n₁ = 18 SUV's

\overline x _2 = 48 days

n₂ = 38 small cars

s₂  = 24 days

The confidence level = 95%

The confidence interval is (29.55,  64.45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The facts of the problem are;

The number of SUV's he sold, n₁ = 18 SUV's

The average number it took to sell the 18 SUV's, \overline x _1 = 95 days

The standard deviation of the time it took to sell the 18 SUV's, s₁ = 32 days

The number of small cars he sold, n₂ = 38 small cars

The average number it took to sell the 38 small cars, \overline x _2 = 48 days

The standard deviation of the time it took to sell the 38 small cars, s₂  = 24 days

The 95% confidence interval is given as follows;

Using a graphing calculator, we get, the critical-t, t_c = 2.055529

\left (\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_{2}  \right ) \pm t_{c} \cdot\sqrt{\dfrac{s _{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{s _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}

\left (95-48  \right ) \pm 2.055529 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{32^{2}}{18}+\dfrac{24^{2}}{38}}

We get C.I. = 29.55259 < μ₁ - μ₂ < 64.44741

∴ C.I. ≈ 29.55 < μ₁ - μ₂ < 64.45

The table shows the relationship between the cost of renting a car from the Wrecko Car Rental Company and the number of days for
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The cost of renting the car for 20 days is $481

Step-by-step explanation:

The table of values can be formed as follows;

Day,   Cost

1,         $44

2,        $67

3,        $90

4,        $113

7,        $182

10,      $251

From the given values and the scatter plot, there is a straight line relationship between the cost and the number of days of rental of a car.

The line of best fit is therefore a straight line and from the constant increase in cost ($23) for each extra day of rental, it is possible to find the slope, m, of the data as follows;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

(x₁, y,) and (x₂, y₂) can be taken as (1, $44) and (3, $90) respectively to give;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{90-44}{3-1} = \dfrac{46}{2} = 23 \ as \ stated \ above

The equation in slope and intercept form is therefore, y  - 44 = 23×(x - 1), which gives;

y - 44 = 23·x - 23

y = 23·x - 23 + 44 = 23·x + 21

The cost of renting the car for 20 days is then;

10×23 + 21 = $481

The cost of renting the car for 20 days = $481.
