16. The standard deviation of fuel consumption of a manufacturer's sport utility vehicle is hypothesized to be 13.3 miles per gallon. A random sample of 18 vehicles has a standard deviation of 2.8 miles per gallon. State the parameter of interest. 17. Short Answer: It has been reported that one in four medical doctors received their degrees from foreign schools. A hospital researcher believes that the percentage is less than that. A random survey of 100 medical doctors found that 19 received their degrees from a foreign school. State the hypotheses for this test. (both null and alternative) 18. Short Answer: Find the critical value for a hypotheses test for a mean of a population with a known σ and with a significance level of 0.1. Here are hypotheses: H0: μ = 5 and HA: μ ≠ 5

Step 1
The parameter of interest is the population standard deviation of fuel consumption for the manufacturer's sport utility vehicle. We can denote this as $\sigma$. Show more…

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 53.7 miles per gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this car since it is believed that the car performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 200 cars, they found a mean MPG of 53.4. Assume the population variance is known to be 2.25. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the testing firm's claim? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Find the p-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places. Identify the level of significance for the hypothesis test. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

A new model compact car is being tested for gasoline consumption. A random sample of 40 such cars were tested at sea level and found to get an average of 36.2 m/g (miles per gallon) with a sample standard deviation of 4.8 m/g. Another random sample of 35 such cars were tested one mile above sea level in Denver, CO., and found to get an average of 31.5 m/g with a sample standard deviation of 5.5 m/g. At the 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the new model compact cars burn more gas (get less m/g on average) at one mile above sea level. Sample 1: Average gasoline consumption at sea level: 36.2 m/g Sample standard deviation at sea level: 4.8 m/g Sample 2: Average gasoline consumption at one mile above sea level: 31.5 m/g Sample standard deviation at one mile above sea level: 5.5 m/g Claim: 1- H0: The average gasoline consumption of the new model compact cars is the same at sea level and one mile above sea level. H1: The average gasoline consumption of the new model compact cars is lower at one mile above sea level compared to sea level. 2- Test Statistic: To test the claim, we will use the two-sample t-test for independent samples. 3- Critical Region/Critical Value: At the 0.01 level of significance, with a two-tailed test, the critical value is ±2.617. 4- Decision about H0: If the test statistic falls within the critical region, we reject the null hypothesis. If the test statistic falls outside the critical region, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Title_with_topic: Testing the Gasoline Consumption of New Model Compact Cars at Different Altitudes

An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 31.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep performs under the manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 220 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 31.2 Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 2.7 . Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to support the testing firm's claim? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Find the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places Identify the level of significance for the hypothesis test. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
