The table gives the gas mileages (mpg) of 7 cars with and without using a fuel additive. At the α =0.10, is there enough evidence to conclude that the additive improved gas mileage? Assume the populations are normally distributed.

Car - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

w/ additive - 23.1 25.4 21.9 24.3 19.9 21.2 25.9

w/out additive - 23.6 27.7 23.6 26.8 22.1 22.4 26.3

Expert Solution

## It is paired t test :

To test : Ho : μD = 0 VS H1 : μD > 0

Test statistics : t = -4.7361

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 6

α = level of significance = 0.10

t critical value = 1.4397

decision : we reject Ho if |t | > t critical value  here |t| > t critical value we reject Ho

Conclusion : There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the additive improved gas mileage .

The equilibrium water vapor pressure table gives the partial pressure of water when the gas is 100.% saturated with water vapor. If the gas you collected was actually only 85% saturated with water vapor, calculate the percent error in the number of moles of N2 collected in Part I. mass nano2 = .111g v of wet n2 gas = 37.9 ml partial pressure n2 = .966 atm moles n2 collected = 1.53*10^-3 moles n2 expected = 1.61*10^-3
