An investigator for a consumer cooperative organized a study of the mileages obtainable from three different brands of gasoline. Using 15 identical motors set to run at the same speed, the investigator randomly assigned each brand of gasoline to 5 of the motors. Each of the motors was then run on 10 gallons of gasoline, with the total mileages obtained as follows. Gas1 Gas 2 Gas 3 220 244 252 251 235 272 226 232 250 246 242 238 260 225 256 Test the hypothesis that the average mileage obtained is the same for all three types of gasoline. Use the 5 percent level of significance

Solutions

Expert Solution

We use minitab to solve this question-

P-value =0.115 > 0.05 therefore average mileage obtained is the same for all three types of gasoline.

A consumer group conducts a study to compare the average mileages (in units of miles per gallon, mpg) of two popular car brands achieved in road tests. A random sample of 5 cars from Brand 1 were tested, yielding mean mileage xbar1= 29.5 mpg and sample standard deviation s1 = 7.4 mpg. A random sample of 8 cars from Brand 2 were tested, yielding mean mileage xbar2= 31.6 mpg and s2 = 8.4 mpg. Assume that two populations from which...
