Fuel Efficiency of Manual and Automatic Cars

Each year the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releases fuel economy data on cars manufactured in that year. Below are summary statistics on fuel efficiency (in miles/gallon) from random samples of cars with manual and automatic transmissions manufactured in 2012. Do these data provide strong evidence of a difference between the average fuel efficiency of cars with manual and automatic transmissions in terms of their average city mileage? Assume that conditions for inference are satisfied.

	City MPG, Automatic	City MPG, Manual
Mean	16.12	19.85
SD	3.58	4.51
n	26	26

The hypotheses for this test are:

Ho: μ_automatic = μ_manual
Ha: μ_automatic ≠ μ_manual
Ho: μ_automatic = μ_manual
Ha: μ_automatic > μ_manual
Ho: μ_automatic = μ_manual
Ha: μ_automatic < μ_manual

The test statistic is: (please round to two decimal places)
The p-value is: (please round to four decimal places)
Interpret the result of the hypothesis test in the context of the problem:

The data provide sufficient evidence that there is a difference between the average fuel efficiency of manual and automatic cars in terms of their average city mileage
The data provide sufficient evidence that there is no difference between the average fuel efficiency of manual and automatic cars in terms of their average city mileage
The data do not provide sufficient evidence that there is a difference between the average fuel efficiency of manual and automatic cars in terms of their average city mileage

An environmental chemist working for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was directed to collect razor clams from a heavily-contaminated river superfund site and analyze them for their Cd2 content using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The chemist dried the clams at 95° C overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in approximately 50 g of homogenized dry weight. A representative 69.58 mg sample was taken from the approximately 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.0...

A method used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for determining the concentration of ozone in air is to pass the air sample through a "bubbler" containing sodium iodide, which removes the ozone according to the following equation: O3(g)+2NaI(aq)+H2O(l)→O2(g)+I2(s)+2NaOH(aq) Part A) How many moles of sodium iodide are needed to remove 5.95×10−6 mol O3? Part B) How many grams of sodium iodide are needed to remove 2.1 mg of O3?
