A research team is testing whether a fuel aditive increases a car's gas mileage. The maker of the additive claims that the additive will increase a car's gas mileage by at least 6 mpg. Among 25 cars that were treated with the additive, the average increase in mileage was 5.3 mpg with a standard deviation of 1.8 mpg. The research team found the z-score to be -1.94. Is there enough evidence to reject the company's evidence?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes  there is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is  n =  25

    The mean is  [tex]\= x = 5.3 \ mpg[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 1.8 \ mpg[/tex]

    The z-score is  z = -1.94

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 6 \ mpg[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 6[/tex]

 Generally the p-value is mathematically evaluated as  

           [tex]p-value = 2 * P( Z <-1.94)[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.94  is

         [tex]P( Z <-1.94) = 0.02619[/tex]

=>  [tex]p-value = 2 * 0.02619[/tex]

=>  [tex]p-value = 0.052[/tex]

Let assume the level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

 Hence the  [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] this mean that

   The  decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Diego's family car holds 14 gallons of fuel. Each day the car uses 0.6 gallons of fuel. A warning light comes on when the remaining fuel is 1.5 gallons or less. Write an inequality to determine the number of days Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on. 10 points 14− 0.6t > 1.5 14− 0.6t < 1.5 14+ 0.6t > 1.5 14+ 0.6t < 1.5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]14-0.6t>1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fuel the car holds is fixed i.e., 14 gallons

The amount of fuel consumed every day is 0.6 gallons

Warning light comes on when the fuel level is 1.5 gallons or less.

Let t be the number of days the car runs for

So the amount of fuel consumed in all the days must be less than 1.5.

The equation will be

[tex]14-0.6t>1.5\\\Rightarrow -0.6t>1.5-14\\\Rightarrow -0.6t>-12.5\\\Rightarrow 0.6t<12.5\\\Rightarrow t<\dfrac{12.5}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow t<20.83[/tex]

So, the number of days the car can be driven without the warning light coming on is less than 20.83 days.

Hence, the required inequality is [tex]14-0.6t>1.5[/tex].

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the x.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 6+10

Simplify.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 16

([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x × 2 = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]x) Find x.

[tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]x = 16 × 2

Jake plans to use a ramp to make it easier to move a piano out of the back of his truck. The back of the truck is 83 centimeters tall and the ramp is 158 centimeters long

Answers

Given :

Height of the ramp, h = 83 cm.

Length of ramp, L = 158 cm.

To Find :

Length of the base of the ramp.

Solution :

Let length of the base is l.

By Pythagoras theorem :

L² = h² + l²

[tex]l=\sqrt{L^2-h^2}\\\\l=\sqrt{158^2-83^2}\\\\l=134.44\ cm[/tex]

Therefore, length of the base is 134.44 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The average emergency room cares for 300 patients each day. There are 20 nurses on duty at the emergency room each day, and they share the patient load equally.

Answers

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say what you need to calculate but I guess that you want to calculate the number of patients each nurse will get.

Number of patients = 300

Number of nurses = 20

Number of patients to each nurse will be:

= Number of patients / Number of nurses

= 300/20

= 15

Each nurse gets 15 patient

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1$$ patients in the sample space.

There are 2$$ nurses on duty each day.

P(N)=3$$, is the probability that a patient will be assigned to a specific nurse.

Correct answers:

1$300$2$20$3$\frac{1}{20}$

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. Here, there are 300 possible patients.

The event is a grouping of the outcomes in the sample space. Here, there are 20 possible nurses that a patient may have.

When the 300 patients are assigned equally to 20 nurses, that is equal to 15 patients per nurse.  The probability of a patient being assigned to a specific nurse, N, is the comparison of being assigned to that nurse's patients versus all possible patients: P(N)=15/300=1/20.

Answer:

C ($1834.44)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula: P = T (1+ r/100)^t

Where

P is the Total amount of money at the end of the time period

T is the money invested at the start

r is the interest rate

and

t is the time by which interest is compounded

Since interest is compounded quarterly,

r is divided by 4 and T is multiplied by 4

therefore,

Total amount = $1800.00( 1 + 1.9÷4/100) ^1×4

= $1834.44
