Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. Report all answers to 4 decimal places. 1. We would like to use these data to evaluate the average gas mileage of all 2012 Prius drivers. Do you think this is reasonable? Why or why not? , because . The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? Conduct a hypothesis test. Round numeric answers to 3 decimal places where necessary. 2. What are the correct hypotheses for conducting a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? (Reminder: check conditions) A. H0:μ=50 vs. HA:μ>50.3 B. H0:μ=50 vs. HA:μ≠50 C. H0:μ=50.3 vs. HA:μ<50 D. H0:μ=53.3 vs. HA:μ≠53.3 3. Calculate the test statistic. 4. Calculate the p-value. 5. How much evidence do we have that the null model is not compatible with our observed results? A. little evidence B. very strong evidence C. strong evidence D. extremely strong evidence E. some evidence 6. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average gas mileage of a 2012 Prius by drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov.

Suppose that GLC earns a $2000 profit each time a person buys a
car. We want to determine how the expected profit earned from a
customer depends on the quality of GLC's cars. We assume a typical
customer will purchase 10 cars during her lifetime. She will
purchase a car now (year 1) and then purchase a car every five
years—during year 6, year 11, and so on. For simplicity, we assume
that Hundo is GLC's only competitor. We also assume that if the
consumer is satisfied with the car she purchases, she will buy her
next car from the same company, but if she is not satisfied, she
will buy her next car from the other company. Hundo produces cars
that satisfy 80% of its customers. Currently, GLC produces cars
that also satisfy 80% of its customers. Consider a customer whose
first car is a GLC car. If profits are discounted at 10% annually,
use simulation to estimate the value of this customer to GLC. Round
your answers to one decimal digit.
$
Also estimate the value of a customer to GLC if it can raise its customer satisfaction rating to 85%, to 90%, or to 95%. You can interpret the satisfaction value as the probability that a customer will not switch companies.
| Satisfaction rating | Customer value to GLC |
| 85% | $ |
| 90% | $ |
| 95% | $ |
