7. Dylan Jones kept careful records of the fuel efficiency of his new car. After the first nine times he filled up the tank, he found the mean was 24.3 miles per gallon (mpg) with a sample standard deviation of 0.9 mpg. a. Compute the 98% confidence interval for his mpg. How many times should he fill his gas tank to obtain a margin of error below 0.2 mpg? b.

30 Fuel efficiency. Computers in some vehicles calculate various quantities related to performance. One of these is the fuel efficiency, or gas mileage, usually expressed as miles per gallon (mpg). For one vehicle equipped in this way, the miles per gallon were recorded each time the gas tank was filled, and the computer was then reset. Here are the mpg values for a random sample of 20 of these records: MPG 41.5 43.2 50.7 44.6 36.6 48.4 37.3 46.4 34.2...

One Mean 1. To improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollution, the owner of a trucking fleet decides to install a new fuel catalyst in all his semi-trucks. Before the installation, his trucks had a mean of 5.6 miles per hour. A random sample of 12 trucks after the installation gave the following gas mileage: 5.9, 6.7, 6.9, 6.4, 6.6, 6.3, 6.2, 5.9, 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 5.6 Test if the fuel catalyst is effective in increasing miles per gallon at a=0.05...

A car manufacturer is interested in estimating the true mean fuel consumption in real-world city driving for one of its new models. 10 new randomly selected cars are driven for a tank, and it is found that the sample mean fuel consumption is 9.4 l/100k, with a sample standard deviation of s = 0.343. Suppose the manufacturer wishes to construct a confidence interval for mu, the true mean fuel consumption for this model under these conditions. a) What is...

1. The fuel economy information on a new SUV window sticker indicates that its new owner can expect 16 mpg (miles per gallon) in city driving and 20 mpg for highway driving and 18 mpg overall. Accurate gasoline records for one such vehicle were kept, and a random sample of mileage per tank of gasoline was collected. 19.0 16.6 19.9 22.8 18.7 18.2 18.0 15.4 19.1 20.5 16.9 20.4 21.6 18.6 20.8 16.5 16.9 16.9 17.9 16.9 19.9 16.1 17.6...

A researcher wanted to study the effect of a newly developed gasoline additive (Additive X) on automobile mileage (miles per gallon, MPG). To gather information, a random sample of cars has been selected. For each car, the MPG was measured both when gasoline with Additive X is used and when gasoline without Additive X is used. The order of the two treatments (with Additive X versus without Additive X) was randomized and care was taken so that there was no...

You are curious about the average number of yards Matthew Stafford throws for each game for the Detroit Lions. You randomly select 23 games and see that the average yards per game is 344.5 with a standard deviation of 27.8 yards. You want to create a 95% confidence interval for the true average number of yards per game he throws. What is the margin of error for this estimate? Question 1 options: 1) 1.5833 2) 5.7967 3) 12.0216 4) 9.9538...
