- An automobile manufacturer claims that a particular model car averages 24 miles per gallon. A consumer group feels that the company is overestimating the mean miles per gallon and asks the Consumer Protection Agency to investigate. The CPA plans to take a random sample of 30 cars of this model, find the mean miles per gallon for these cars, and conduct a test to determine whether the mean is significantly less than 24 mpg. The hypotheses for the test are: H₀: µ=24 and Ha: µ < 24.State and describe the Type 1 and 2 errors.arrow_forwardThe recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females is 18 milligrams (mg) per day. The given iron intakes (mg) were obtained for 45 random adult females. At the 1% significance level, do the data suggest that adult females are, on average, getting less than the RDA of 18 mg of iron? Assume that the population standard deviation is 4.4 mg. Preliminary data analyses indicate that applying the z-test is reasonable. (Note: x = 14.71 mg.) Click here to view the iron intake data.
