Question

The average mpg usage for a 2017 Toyota Prius for a sample of 10 tanks of gas was 45.5 with a standard deviation of 1.8. For a 2017 Ford Fusion, the average mpg usage for a sample of 10 tanks of gas was 42.0 with a standard deviation of 2.3.
 
Assuming equal variances, at α = .01, is the true mean mpg lower for the Ford Fusion?
 
(a-1) Choose the appropriate hypotheses.
 

  1. H0μtoy − μford ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy − μford > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > 2.552
  2. H0μtoy − μford ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy − μford > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < 2.552
  3. H0μtoy − μford ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy − μford < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < −2.552
  4. H0μtoy − μford ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy − μford < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > −2.552
