Reject the null hypothesis.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
There is sufficient evidence at the α=0.01 level of significance to conclude that the population mean braking distance of the Hawk is less than the population mean braking distance of the Wildcat.
There is insufficient evidence at the α=0.01 level of significance to conclude that the population mean braking distance of the Hawk is less than the population mean braking distance of the Wildcat.

Transcribed Image Text:An automobile manufacturer claims that the population mean braking distance of its premiere vehicle, the Hawk, is less than the population mean braking distance of its main competitor, the Wildcat. Ryan Pottier is a writer for a national automotive magazine and would like to verify the claim made by the manufacturer for an article. He contacts the manufacturer of each vehicle and uses the information to assume that the population standard deviation of the braking distance from 60 miles per hour to O is 4.59 ft for the Hawk and 4.38 ft for the Wildcat. Ryan randomly selects brand new vehicles of each model and conducts a brake test on each car, where each vehicle is stopped from 60 miles per hour in a controlled environment. The results of the test are provided in the table below. Let -0.0 1.xi be the population braking distance in feet of the Hawk, and u2 be the population mean braking distance in feet of the Wildcat. If the test statistic is z -2.24 and the rejection region is less than -zo.01-2.326, what conclusion could be made about the population mean braking distance of the Hawk and the Wildcat? Identify all of the appropriate conclusions. Wildcat 2 117.36 ft ,"2-32 Hawk 114.83 ft , =31 Select all that apply:

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
