Question

Based on information from the Federal Highway Administration web site, the average annual miles driven per vehicle in the United States is 13.5 thousand miles. Assume ? ≈ 650 miles. Suppose that a random sample of 41 vehicles owned by residents of Chicago showed that the average mileage driven last year was 13.2 thousand miles. Would this indicate that the average miles driven per vehicle in Chicago is different from (higher or lower than) the national average? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

 

Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??

At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.  
 At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.


(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the miles driven per vehicle in the city differs from the national average.
There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the miles driven per vehicle in the city differs from the national average.
