Question

Suppose that you are interested in estimating the average number of miles per gallon of gasoline your car can get. You calculate the miles per gallon for each of the next twenty-one times you fill the tank. Suppose that in truth, the values for your car are bell-shaped, with a mean of 27 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 1. Find the possible sample means you are likely to get based on your sample of twenty-one observations. What are the intervals into which 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the potential sample means will fall, using the Empirical Rule? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

About 68% of possible sample means will be in the range between___ and___ .

About 95% of possible sample means will be in the range between___ and___ .

About 99.7% of possible sample means will be in the range between ___and ____.

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 + ...
