The correct answer is: The population proportion is 2.2804 standard errors more than expected if the alternative hypothesis is true.
Added by Jeffrey B.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the z-score for the population proportion using the formula: \[ z = \frac{p - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} \] where: - \( p \) is the sample proportion - \( p_0 \) is the hypothesized population proportion - \( n \) is the sample size Show more…

An automobile manufacturer who wishes to advertise that one of its models achieves 30 mpg (miles per gallon) decides to carry out a fuel efficiency test. Six nonprofessional drivers are selected from the entire population, and each one drives a car from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The resulting fuel efficiencies (in miles per gallon) are 24.9, 28.7, 36.3, 25.7, 30.5, 31.8. Assuming that fuel efficiency is normally distributed under these circumstances, do the data contradict the claim that the mean fuel efficiency of the population is (at least) 30 mpg? Perform a relevant hypothesis test for the research question using α = 0.05. Follow the steps given below: Step#1: Set up a null hypothesis H0 and an alternative hypothesis Ha about the research question. Step#2: Compute the t-test statistic of the sample. Show your work. Step#3: Show your decision on H0 based on the p-value at α = 0.05. Show your work. (Note: Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

A manufacturer of a new car claims that the typical car will average 32 mpg of gasoline. An independent consumer group is skeptical of the claim and thinks the mean gas mileage is significantly different from the claimed 32. A sample of 23 randomly selected cars produced a mean mpg of 30.15 with a standard deviation of 4.87. Assume that cars' gas mileage is normally distributed in the population. a. The manufacturer wants to determine if the mean mpg for the cars is significantly different from 32. Write the null and alternative hypotheses for this question. b. Are the assumptions necessary for inference met? c. Perform the appropriate test, including the formula that you used, the calculated value of the t-statistic, and the t-critical you compared your t-statistic to using a significance level of 0.05. Then, state your conclusion to the test. d. Now, suppose the researchers had wanted to find evidence specifically that the car obtained less than 32 mpg. Rewrite your null and alternative hypotheses, then repeat the test and state your conclusion.

For this Assignment, you are working at a firm that conducts independent testing for heavy industry. Recently, an automobile manufacturer has been in the news for complaints about the highway gas mileage of their latest model minivan. You receive a contract from a consumer action group to test and write a report on the company’s claim that its minivans get 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The car company agrees to allow you to select randomly 35 low-mileage fleet minivans to test their highway mileage. Your test results gave you the following data: 29.7 24.5 27.1 29.8 29.2 27.0 27.8 24.1 29.3 25.9 26.2 24.5 32.8 26.8 27.8 24.0 23.6 29.2 26.5 27.7 27.1 23.7 24.1 27.2 25.9 26.7 27.8 27.3 27.6 22.8 25.3 26.6 26.4 27.1 26.1 List the null and alternative hypotheses for the two-tail test for the mean. Calculate the observed value of the test statistic and the associated p-value. Is the observed test statistic in the critical region? Is the p-value higher or lower than your alpha? List the null and alternative hypotheses for the one-tail test of the mean. Calculate the observed value of the test statistic and the associated p-value. Is the observed test statistic in the critical region? Will the p-value be higher or lower than your alpha?
