Chapter 13, Problem 65H
A grassroots group opposed to a proposed increase in the gas tax claimed that the increase would hurt working-class
people the most, since they commute the farthest to work. Suppose that the group randomly surveyed 24 individuals and
asked them their daily one-way commuting mileage. The results are in Table 13.22. Using a 5% significance level, test
the hypothesis that the three

You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study?
Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more.
Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again.
Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…
