A fuel consumption study is conducted for two types of automobiles. One representative vehicle of each type is selected, and the mileage performance is observed for 10 tanks of fuel in each car. The data obtained, expressed in miles per gallon (mpg), are as follows:

Car 1: 24.7 24.9 24.8 24.6 24.9 23.9 24.7 24.9 24.5 24.6

Car 2: 41.7 42.8 42.3 42.4 41.6 39.9 39.5 40.8 41.9 39.6

a) Using the appropriate distribution model and a 95% confidence interval, is there evidence to support the claim that the variability in mileage performance is greater for Car 2 than for Car 1?

b) Solve this problem again using the related hypothesis-testing procedure.

Solutions

Expert Solution

a)

Confidence interval doesn't contain zero therefore claim is true that the variability in mileage performance is greater for Car 2 than for Car 1?

b)

Two automobiles with equal mass approach an intersection.  One vehicle is traveling eastward and the other vehicle is traveling northward.  The vehicles collide and stick together. After impact they travel on the road and then travel on a gravel covered shoulder until both cars stop. Only the northward bound vehicle left skid marks at an angle of 55 degrees north of east.  A police officer posted at the intersection clocked the eastward vehicle at 29 mph before impact. The northward...

A study was conducted to see whether two types of cars, A and B, took the same time to parallel park. Seven drivers were randomly obtained and the time required for each of them to parallel park (in seconds) each of the 2 cars was measured. The results are listed below in order of driver (e.g. the first listing for A and B are driver 1; the second listing driver 2; etc.) Car A: 19, 21.8, 16.8, 24.2, 22, 34.7,...

Consider the market for the Toyota Prius, which is a hybrid, fuel efficient vehicle. For each of the following scenarios, use the supply and demand model to explain how you would expect the market equilibrium price and quantity traded to change for the Prius market. You should explain which side of the market (supply, demand, or possibly both) is likely to be affected, and indicate on a graph any shifts in the curves that might occur. (a) The price of...
