An auto maker estimates that the mean gas mileage of its sports utility vehicle is 20 miles per gallon. A random sample of 8 such vehicles had a mean of 18 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of s = 5 miles per gallon. At a = this kind of vehicle has gas mileage less than 20 miles per gallon? Assume the population is normally distributed. 0.05, can you conclude that

Suppose you buy a new car whose advertised mileage is 20 miles per gallon (mpg). After driving your car for several months, you find that its mileage is 16.5 mpg.
