Question

Some manufacturers claim that non-hybrid sedan cars have a lower mean miles-per-gallon (mpg) than hybrid ones. Suppose that consumers test 244 hybrid sedans and get a mean of 26.75 mpg with a standard deviation of 5.5 mpg. Also, 279 non-hybrid sedans get a mean of 24.75 mpg with a standard deviation of 7.75 mpg. Suppose that both populations are known to be normal distributed.

Conduct a hypothesis test to evaluate the manufacturers' claim. Test at a 3% level of significance.

Let population 1 denote non-hybrids and population 2 denote hybrids.

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.
