High-power experimental engines are being developed by the Stevens Motor Company for use in its new sports coupe. The engineers have calculated
the maximum horsepower for the engine to be 800 HP. Twenty five engines are randomly selected for horsepower testing. The sample has an
average maximum HP of 870 with a standard deviation of 80 HP. Assume the population is normally distributed.
Step 1 of 2: Calculate a confidence interval for the average maximum HP for the experimental engine. Use a significance level of a = 0.01. Round
your answers to two decimal places.
Import the data from the Hill City Excel file into Minitab.You are trying to predict Price.Note: Mtn View=1 if there is a mountain view, 0 otherwise. The rest of the variables should be self explanatory.
1.Perform an F Test for overall significance of the model
2.Perform a T test for slope for the age variable
3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the SqFeet variable4. Create a prediction, CI, and PI for 1 new set of x values (any valid numbers you want), and interpret each.5. Run the residual plots and indicate if they show any problems with the model.
The case involves predicting the value score of a car based on the price of the car, five-year cost/mile, road-test score, and predicted reliability. A car with a value score of 1.0 is considered to be “averagevalue.” A car with a value score of 2.0 is considered to be twice as good a value as a car with a value score of 1.0; a car with a value score of 0.5 is considered half as good as average; and so on. The data for 20 family sedans, contained in the textbook data file FamilySedans.xlsx, is shown below.

- Suppose a 95% confidence interval was computed based on a sample of 320 trick-or-treaters. If the sample size were increased to 640, what impact would this have on the margin of error and width of the confidence interval? Both the margin of error and the width would increase Neither the margin of error nor the width would be affected. Both the margin of error and the width would decrease The margin of error would decrease and the width would increase. The margin of error would increase and the width would decreasearrow_forwardIf n = 330 and X = 264, construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p.Give your answers to three decimalsarrow_forwardCan you please calculate the 95% confidence interval for this problemarrow_forward

- Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. If the researcher forms a 95% confidence interval and finds this interval is equal to (71.9, 74.1), which in words says our mean is between 71.9 and 74.1, then what is the researchers conclusion for the hypothesis test at the 5% significance level?
