A worker for measurement Canada suspects a gas station chain has calibrated its pumps to deliver less fuel than advertised. 15 pumps are sampled by dispensing gas into a graduated container, until the metered amount of gasis exactly 40 L. From your sample, you calculate the mean amount dispensed is x̅ = 39.7 L, with s = 0.6 L. At the α = 0.05 level of signifciance, test the hypothesis that the station pumps deliver less than 40 L. Assume that all conditions for testing hypothesis have been met.

a) Clearly defining any symbols, state the null and alternative hypothesis in symbolic form?

b) Calculate the value of the test statistic for testing above hypothesis

c) Calculate only one of the rejection region or the p-value for the above test.

d) State the conclusion and interpretation for the test

e) Describe the consequences of a type I error in this scenario.

A community is currently being served a single self-serve gas station with six pumps. A competitor is opening a new facility with 12 pumps across town. The table below shows the travel times in minutes from the four different areas in the community to the sites and the number of customers in each area. (a) Using the Huff retail location model and if λ = 2, calculate the probability of a customer traveling from each area to each site. (b)...

Marathon petroleum distribution company manages 600 gas stations in Michigan. Each gas station typically has four underground storage tanks (UGST), three for gasoline and one for diesel. The UGST develop leaks sometimes due to corrosion or changes in soil conditions. Based on historical data, Marathon estimates that the probability that a given UGST develops a leak during a given year is 0.002 for gasoline storage tanks and higher at 0.003 for diesel storage tanks potentially due to higher density of...

Rocket Fuels has a chain of gas stations and is considering investing in a project to add ethanol fuels to its product range. Here is some information related to this project: Rocket Fuels estimates they can sell 1 Million gallons of ethanol fuel the first year, and then an increase of 10% in sales per year for years 2, 3, and 4. They can’t estimate the sales after the fourth year, there will be elections at that point and the...

A one-pump gas station is always open and has two types of customers. A police car arrives every 30 minutes (exactly), with the first police car arriving at time 15 minutes. Regular (nonpolice) cars have exponential interarrival times with mean 5.6 minutes, with the first regular car arriving at time 0. Service times at the pump for all cars are exponential with mean 4.8 minutes. A car arriving to find the pump idle goes right into service, and regular cars...

The Petroco Service Station has one pump for regular unleaded gas, which (with an attendant) can service 10 customers per hour. Cars arrive at the regular unleaded pump at a rate of 6 per hour. Determine the average queue length, the average time a car is in the system, and the average time a car must wait. If the arrival rate increases to 12 cars per hour, what will be the effect on the average queue length. Please put in...
