A designer of a certain type of race cars asserts that painting a car increases its top speed by reducing drag. To test this, the top speeds (in mph) of six cars were measured on a track before and after painting. The results are shown in the table below. Test the claim that the mean of the differences (painted – not painted) for all race cars (paired T-test) is positive at the 95% confidence level. Do these results support the designer’s assertion?

Expert Solution

Let us denote the difference

d = painted – not painted

There is not sufficient evidence to support the designer’s assertion that the mean of the differences (painted – not painted) for all race cars (paired T-test) is positive.

Suppose that you own a car dealership and purchase (randomly select) 10 cars of a certain make from a production run of 200 cars. Of the 200 cars, 160 are destined to last at least five years without needing a major repair. Using the hypergeometric distribution what is the probability that at least 6 of your 10 cars will last at least five years without needing a major repair.

A car manufacturer recognizes the sale of 40,000 cars in its income statement. All cars have been prepaid but not yet shipped to the customer. Assuming that sale is profitable, the accelerated recognition of this sale as revenue is likely to lead to the distortions in the following ratios: • Net Income higher – no effect – lower • Asset turnover higher – no effect- lower • Debt-to-equity higher – no effect - lower
