Question
Chapter 1.2, Problem 1.28E
To determine
To describe if filling car tires with nitrogen of compressed air increase gas mileage.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Most of the cars are using compressed air instead of nitrogen. Therefore, it is better to make one of the experiments to answer this question. Select some cars of different brand. Divide it in two groups. Half of the cars in one group and half cars in group 2. Suppose in Group 1, we filled a nitrogen and in group 2 we used compressed air. For both groups need to compare the mileage and then decide the which has higher mileage.

Also, for a standard normal distribution would Z(1-alpha) be equivalent to -Zalpha in represneting the left tail of the standard normal distribution curve because they both have the same z-score. Furthermore, is my understanding correct in the sense that if we have a critical value,say Zalpha, would the area to the right of it will be alpha and to the left of it would be 1-alphaarrow_forwardOne bulb manufacturer claims an average bulb life of 1,600 hours. It is suspected that the actual average is significantly lower. To verify this, a sample of 49 bulbs is selected and the life of each bulb is measured. A sample mean of 1,500 hours and a standard deviation of 120 hours were obtained from them. Can you be sure, at 5% significance, that the mean life is less than what the manufacturer claims?arrow_forward
- The specification calls for the dimension of a certain mechanical part to be 0.55 inches. A random sample of 35 parts taken from a large batch showed a mean 0.54 in. with a deviation of 0.05 in.

A new and cheaper process is discovered which is desired to be employed, provided that the wire rope thus produced has an average breaking strength greater than 300 kg. If a random sample of 26 wires produced with the new process has given a mean of 304.5 kg and a standard deviation of 15 kg, should the manufacturer adopt the new process?arrow_forwardWe are interested in whether the proportions of female suicide victims for ages 15 to 24 are the same between the white and the black races in the United States. We randomly pick one year to compare the races. The number of suicides estimated in the United States in that year for white females is 4,930. Five hundred eighty-three were aged 15 to 24. The estimate for black females is 330. Forty-one were aged 15 to 24. We will let female suicide victims be our population. (Use α = 0.05.) NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed.

Psychologists who study ①memory often use a measure of "free recall" (e.g., the RECALL number of correctly recalled items in a list of to-be- remembered items). The strategy used to memorize the list-for example, category clustering-is often just as important. Researchers at Central Michigan University developed an algorithm for computing measures of cat- egory clustering in Advances in Cognitive Psychology (Oct. 2012). One measure, called ratio of repetition, was recorded for a sample of 8 participants in a memory study. These ratios are listed in the table. Test the theory that the average ratio of repetition for all participants in a similar memory study differs from .5. Select an appropriate Type I error rate for your test. .25 .43 .57 .38 .38 .60 .47 .30 Source: Senkova, O., & Otani, H. "Category clustering calculator for free recall."
