- An automobile manufacturer has given its van a 53.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 vans, they found a mean MPG of 52.9. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.6. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the testing firm's claim? Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.arrow_forwardThe manufacturer of a particular brand of tires claims they average at least 50,000 miles before needing to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, it is known that the population standard deviation is 8,000 miles. A survey of tire owners was conducted. From the 28 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46500 miles. Using alpha = 0.05, can we prove that the data in inconsistent with the manufacturers claim? We should use a test.

An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 160 vans, they found a mean MPG of 37.0. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.5. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.0 level to support the testing firm's claim?

- Do shoppers at the mall spend more money on average the day after Thanksgiving compared to the day after Christmas? The 52 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Thanksgiving spent an average of $122. Their standard deviation was $29. The 59 randomly surveyed shoppers on the day after Christmas spent an average of $117. Their standard deviation was $35. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardUnlike most packaged food products, alcohol beverage container labels are not required to show calorie or nutrient content. An article reported on a pilot study in which each of 57 individuals in a sample was asked to estimate the calorie content of a 12 oz can of beer known to contain 153 calories. The resulting sample mean estimated calorie level was 185 and the sample standard deviation was 82. Does this data suggest that the true average estimated calorie content in the population sampled exceeds the actual content? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.001.
