- Good credit: The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 to 850 , with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is more than the cutoff of 720 . She finds that a random sample of 120 people had a mean FICO score of 740 with a standard deviation of 90 . Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720 ?

- Fuel efficiency of Prius: 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. (a) 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?
