Question

The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 35 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is less for your car. The 70 trips on the highway that you took averaged 34.8 mpg and the standard deviation for these 70 trips was 5.2 mpg. What can be concluded at the  αα = 0.05 level of significance?

  1. The test statistic    Correct =  (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  2. The p-value =  (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The data suggest that the population mean is not significantly less than 35 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is less than 35.
    • The data suggest that the sample mean is not significantly less than 35 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the sample mean mpg for your car on the highway is less than 34.8.
    • The data suggest that the populaton mean is significantly less than 35 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean mpg for your car on the highway is less than 35.
