A popular automotive company has launched a new version of a sports car on the market, which supposedly has less gasoline consumption than the predecessor model. The producer states that the new model has an average consumption of 8 liter per 100 Km. the standard deviation of the consumption is assumed to be o = 1.2 liter and the average consumption in 50 test drives has been 8.5 liter per 100 km. i. Decide whether the information provided by the producer is credible. Use the hypotheses test Ho:µ = 8, H1:µ > 8 with significance level of 10% ii. Would the test decision be the same if the standard deviation of the consumption were o = 1.6 liter?

The speed of cars driving past Johnson City High School, on 666 Reynolds Rd, were recorded over one school year. The speed limit on that part of Reynolds Rd is 20 mph. The mean of the speed readings was 24.19 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph.
The use of chemicals is considered to increase the resistance to scratches during a painting process. The average durability was found to be 7.5 br and the standard deviation was found to be 1.5 br for the 15 parts painted using item A. The average durability was found to be 8.8 br and the standard deviation was found to be 1.2 br for the 12 parts painted using item B. What is the value of the test statistic calculated in the test that will be performed to determine which substance to choose? Determine it at the 99% confidence level with the assumption that the anacuttle variances are equal.Answer options group A)- 1,21 B) -4.68 C)- 3.26 D)-2.44

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Money reports that the average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog in 2017 is $1,448. The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with o = $245. 1,902 2,042 1,936 1,817 1,504 1,572 1,532 1,907 1,882 2,153 1,945 1,335 2,006 1,516 1,839 1,739 1,456 1,958 1,934 2,094 1,739 1,434 1,667 1,679 1,736 1,670 1,770 2,052 1,379 1,939 1,854 1,913 2,163 1,737 1,888 1,737 2,230 2,131 1,813 2,118 1,978 2,166 1,482 1,700 1,679 2,060 1,683 1,850 2,232 2,294 (a) What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval of the mean cost in dollars of the first year of owning and caring for this breed?

A medical statistician wants to estimate the average weight loss of people who are on a new diet plan. In a preliminary study, he guesses that the standard deviation of the population of weight loss is about 8 pounds. How large a sample should he take to estimate the mean weight loss to within 4 pounds, with 97% confidence? Sample Size =
Loretta, who turns 91 this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 121 mm Hg , and the sample standard deviation was 20 mm Hg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than 120 mm Hg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (a) State the null hypothesis H0? and the alternative hypothesis H1? . H0:? H1:? (b) Determine the type of test statistic to…

Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 68 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 3 miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour. (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.) Approximately nothing% of vehicles travel between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.
A statistician wants to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height of male and female college students. He collects a random sample of 100 males and 100 females and calculates their heights (in cm). The sample mean height for males is 175 cm and the sample mean height for females is 165 cm. The sample standard deviation for males is 6 cm and the sample standard deviation for females is 5 cm. Conduct an independent samples t-test to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height between males and females at a significance level of 0.05.
The president of a college wants to determine the mean number of units that college students take per semester. How large of a sample is required in order to be 99% sure that a sample mean will be off by no more than 1.25 units? An initial study suggested that the standard deviation is approximately 2.1 units.
