In a recent publication, it was reported that the average
highway gas mileage of tested models of a new car was 33.5 mpg. A
consumer group conducts its own tests on a simple random sample of
12 cars of this model and finds that the mean gas mileage for their
vehicles is 31.6 mpg with a standard deviation of 3.4 mpg.
a) Choose an appropriate significance test for the consumer
group to perform to test the publication's assertion.
b) The...
In a recent publication, it was reported that the average
highway gas mileage of tested models of a new car was 33.2 mpg with
a standard deviation of 2.5 mpg, with the mileages approximately
normally distributed.

Part a: Describe a Type II error in the context of the
hypothesis test.
Part b: If a simple random sample of 100 cars is selected, what
values of the sample mean x ̄ would represent sufficient evidence
to reject...
The weight of a car can influence the mileage that the car can
obtain. A random sample of 20 cars was taken and the weight (in
pounds) and mileage (in mpg) were recorded and are in the table
below.

The weight of a car can influence the mileage that the car can
obtain. A random sample of 20 cars’ weights and mileage is
collected. The table for the weight and mileage of the cars is
given below. Use Excel to find the best fit linear regression
equation, where weight is the explanatory variable. Round the slope
and intercept to three decimal places.

The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 33 mpg on the
highway. You suspect that the mpg is more for your car. The 42
trips on the highway that you took averaged 35 mpg and the standard
deviation for these 42 trips was 6 mpg. What can be concluded at
the αα = 0.01 level of significance?
For this study, we should use Select an answer t-test for a
population mean z-test for a population proportion

The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 32 mpg on the
highway. You suspect that the mpg is less for your car. The 64
trips on the highway that you took averaged 31.4 mpg and the
standard deviation for these 64 trips was 8.9 mpg. What can be
concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?

The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 31 mpg on the
highway. You suspect that the mpg is a different number for your
car. The 40 trips on the highway that you took averaged 28.7 mpg
and the standard deviation for these 40 trips was 5.8 mpg. What can
be concluded at the α α = 0.01 level of significance? a.For this

The EPA sticker for a particular model of automobile claims the
car has average highway mileage of 35 miles per gallon. A consumer
advocacy group takes a random sample of 30 of these cars and finds
that they have an average mileage of 33.6 miles per gallon with a
standard deviation of 3 miles per gallon. Do the results of this
test provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the actual
mileage of this model is less than 35 miles per...
