Question

23.

A consumer group claims that the mean minimum time it takes for a sedan to travel a quarter mile is greater than

14.8

seconds. A random sample of

sedans has a mean minimum time to travel a quarter mile of

15.3

seconds and a standard deviation of

2.09

seconds. At

α=0.01

is there enough evidence to support the consumer group's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

(a) Identify the claim and state

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
