Assuming an ideal engine in which the compression ratio and the expansion ratio for a C.I engine are (15+ ? ???) and (8− ? ???) respectively. Determine the mean effective pressure, the ratio of maximum pressure to mean effective pressure and cycle efficiency. Also, find the fuel consumption per kWh if the indicated thermal efficiency is 50% of ideal efficiency, mechanical efficiency is 80% and the calorific value of diesel oil is 42000 kJ/kg.

Remember that under the direct write-off method, Bad Debt Expense is not recorded until the customer's account is determined to be worthless.
Under the allowance method once a customer account is identified as uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.
b. Journalize the transactions under the allowance method. Shipway Company uses the percent of credit sales method of estimating uncollectible accounts expense. Based on past history and industry averages, 2% of credit sales are expected to be uncollectible. Shipway Company recorded $1,232,500 of credit sales during the year.

A fire insurance company thought that the mean distance from a home to the nearest fire department in a suburb of Chicago was at least 5.9 miles. It set its fire insurance rates accordingly. Members of the community set out to show that the mean distance was less than 5.9 miles. This, they thought, would convince the insurance company to lower its rates. They randomly indentified 62 homes and measured the distance to the nearest fire department from each. The resulting sample mean was 5.3. If σ = 2 miles, does the sample show sufficient evidence to support the community's claim at the α = .05 level of significance?
(a) Find z. (Give your answer correct to two decimal
places.)
(ii) Find the p-value. (Give your answer correct to four
decimal places.)
(b) State the appropriate conclusion.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that the mean distance is less than 5.9 miles. Reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence that the mean distance is less than 5.9 miles. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence that the mean distance is less than 5.9 miles. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that the mean distance is less than 5.9 miles.
2.From candy to jewelry to flowers, the average consumer was expected to spend $104.21 for Mother's Day in 2005, according to the Democrat & Chronicle article "Mom's getting more this year" (May 7, 2005). Local merchants thought this average was too high for their area. They contracted an agency to conduct a study. A random sample of 62 consumers was taken at a local shopping mall the Saturday before Mother's Day and produced a sample mean amount of $94.33. If σ = $29.93, does the sample provide sufficient evidence to support the merchants' claim at the .05 significance level?
(a) Find z. (Give your answer correct to two decimal

The article "An Alternative Vote: Applying Science to the Teaching of Science"† describes an experiment conducted at the University of British Columbia. A total of 850 engineering students enrolled in a physics course participated in the experiment. Students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups. Both groups attended the same lectures for the first 11 weeks of the semester. In the twelfth week, one of the groups was switched to a style of teaching where students were expected to do reading assignments prior to class, and then class time was used to focus on problem solving, discussion, and group work. The second group continued with the traditional lecture approach. At the end of the twelfth week, students were given a test over the course material from that week. The mean test score for students in the new teaching method group was 74, and the mean test score for students in the traditional lecture group was 41. Suppose that the two groups each consisted of 425 students. Also suppose that the standard deviations of test scores for the new teaching method group and the traditional lecture method group were 27 and 20, respectively. Estimate the difference in mean test score for the two teaching methods using a 95% confidence interval. (Use μnew method − μtraditional method. Use technology. Round your answers to three decimal places.)
The confidence interval----------------to conclude that the true mean test score for the new teaching method is greater than the true mean test score for the traditional lecture method because zero ------------contained in the confidence interval.Give an interpretation of the interval.
