Engineers are testing company fleet vehicle fuel economy (miles per gallon) performance by using different types of fuel. One vehicle of each size is tested. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in treatment means?

Compact 30.8 28.4 17.7 30.7 31.1
Mid-Size 17.0 19.9 20.1 17.1 31.4

  • Fuel type is the treatment and vehicle size is the blocking factor.



(b)
Fill in the boxes. (Round your SS values to 3 decimal places, F values to 2 decimal places, and other answers to 4 decimal places.)

(c)
Choose the correct statement. Use α = 0.05.

  • Fuel type means differ significantly and vehicle size is also a significant factor.

  • Fuel type means do not differ significantly, but vehicle size is a significant factor.

  • Fuel type means differ significantly, but vehicle size is not a significant factor.

  • Fuel type means do not differ significantly and vehicle size is not a significant factor.



(d)
Which fuel types show a significant difference in average fuel economy? Use α = 0.01. (You may select more than one answer. Click the box with a check mark for the correct answer and click to empty the box for the wrong answer.)

  • Ethanol 10% and Ethanol 5%

  • 89 Octane and 87 Octane

  • Ethanol 5% and 91 Octane

  • Ethanol 10% and 91 Octane

Expert Solution

CCONCLUSION: SINCE F CAL DUE TO BLOCK IS LESS THAN F CRI DUE TO BLOCK. SO WE INFER THAT THE BLOCS ARE HOMOGENEOUS.

SINCE F CAL DUE TO TREATMENTS IS LESS THAN F CRI DUE TO TREATMENT. SO WE INFER THAT THE EFFECT OF TREATMENTS ARE HOMOGENEOUS.

NOTE: I HAVE GIVEN U THE F TABULATED VALUE. SO OBSERVE THE F CRI VALUES THERE IN (3,12) AND (4,12)

The ACME Fuel Company is testing three gasoline additives that potentially improve miles per gallon (mpg). Data on the mpg increases are listed below. (a) For each of the three additives, make boxplots, probability plots, run Anderson-Darling tests, and Shapiro-Wilks tests to check for normality. (b) Based the results in part (a), which test (Hartley’s F-max, Bartlett’s, Levene’s) is best to use to check for a difference between the variances of mpg increases for the three additives? (c) Run the...

The corporate average fuel economy​ (CAFE) standard for mileage is currently 28 miles per gallon of gasoline​ (the defender) for passenger cars. To conserve fuel and reduce air​ pollution, suppose the U.S. Congress sets the CAFE standard at 35 miles per gallon​(the challenger) in 2010. An auto will emit on average 0.8 pounds of carbon dioxide ​(CO2​) per mile driven at 28 miles per​ gallon, and it will emit 0.7 pounds of O2 per mile driven at 35 miles per...

Based on tests of a certain automobile, engineers have found that the miles per gallon in highway driving are normally distributed, with a mean of 31 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 3.4 miles per gallon. 12 of these automobiles are randomly selected and the miles per gallon for each car are recorded. What is the probability that the mean miles per gallon of this sample exceeds 33 miles per gallon? Would this be considered unusual?

The fuel consumption, in miles per gallon, of all cars of a particular model has a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 2. The population distribution can be assumed as normal. A random sample of these cars is taken. a. Find the probability that the sample mean fuel consumption will be fewer than 24 miles per gallon if (i) a sample of 1 observation is taken, (ii) a sample of 4 observations if taken and (iii) a sample...
