Question
A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 36 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 12.9 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be
0.6mpg
. A random sample of 43 competitor's SUVs has a mean gas mileage of
12.7mpg
. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be
0.3mpg
. Test the company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let the car company's SUVs be Population 1 and let the competitor's SUVs be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

The population standard deviation was 1.1. A college student believes that the guys in his dormitory chew a different amount of gum in a week. He conducts a study and samples 43 of the guys in his dorm and finds that on average they chew 11 sticks of gum in a week. Test the college student's claim at a=0.05. The correct hypotheses would be: Ο H: μ 13 (claim) Но: д > 13 HA: µ < 13 (claim) Ho: µ = HA:H + 13 (claim) 13 Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is 1.96 and -1.96 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to: O reject Ho O do not reject Ho The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that a different amount of gum in a week. O There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that a different amount of gum in a week.

- In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 30 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169 with a standard deviation of 7.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 13. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 4: Make a decision. Is it reject Null hypothesis or Fail to reject Null hypothesis? Step 5: What is the conclusion? Is there sufficient evidence or there is not sufficient evidence to show that the standard deviation of the test scores has decreased?arrow_forwardAccording to a government agency, the average workweek for an adult in February 2018 was 34.1 hours.
