The fuel efficiency for a certain midsize car is given by E(V) = -0.018V2 + 1.620V + 3.7 where E(v) is the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon for a car traveling v miles per hour. (a) What speed will yield the maximum fuel efficiency? Round to the nearest mile per hour. mph (b) What is the maximum fuel efficiency for this car? Round to the nearest mile per gallon. mpg Need Help? Read It Watch It Talk to a...
Problem 8 (18 points) An individual wanted to determine the relation that might exist between speed and miles per gallon of an automobile.

Question 11 1 pts An auto company claims that the fuel efficiency of its sedan has been substantially improved. A consumer advocate organization wishes to compare the fuel efficiencies of its sedan 2017 and 2019 models. Each of 12 drivers drove both the 2017 and 2019 models on a highway and the fuel efficiency was measured (in miles per gallon). The same driver drove the same path the models. between the for both Driver Model 1 2 3 4 5...
The fuel economy (in miles per gallon) of a certain car is E(x) = −0.01x2 + 0.54x +10.4, where x is the driving speed (in miles per hour, 20 ≤ x ≤ 60). At what speed is fuel economy greatest? x = mph
QUESTION 5 The manufacturer of a new compact car claims that the car will average at least 35 miles per gallon in general highway driving. For 100 test runs, the car averaged 35.5 miles per gallon with a standard deviation of 4 miles per gallon. Suppose that the manufacturer tests the following hypotheses: Consider the 1% significance level. What is the power of the test if the actual average fuel efficiency is 36 miles per gallon? a. 88.877% b. 99.086%...
Question 15 1 pts An auto company claims that the fuel efficiency of its sedan has been substantially improved. A consumer advocate organization wishes to compare the fuel efficiencies of its sedan between the 2017 and 2019 models. Each of 12 drivers drove both the 2017 and 2019 models on a highway and the fuel efficiency was measured (in miles per gallon). The same driver drove the same path for both the models. Driver Model 1 2019 31.1 324 31.3...
Automobile fuel efficiency is often measured in miles that the car can be driven per gallon of fuel (highway mpg). Suppose we have a collection of cars. We measure their weights and fuel efficiencies, and generate the following scatterplot. HIGHWAY 40 35 30 25 2500 3000 4000 3500 WEIGHT 25 2500 3000 4000 3500 WEIGHT Which equation is a reasonable description of the least squares regression line for the predicted highway mpg? O predicted highway mpg - 52.3 -0.0067 (weight)...
How does the fuel consumption of a car change as its speed increases? Here are data for a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Turbo Diesel. Speed is measured in miles per hour, and fuel consumption is measured in miles per gallon. Speed 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Fuel 38.1 54.0 68.4 63.6 60.5 55.4 50.6 43.8 a. Make a scatterplot. (Which is the explanatory variable?) b.Describe the form of the relationship. It is not linear. Explain why the form...
Market research organization selects various car models every year and assesses their fuel efficiency. This year, in the analysis of the two similar subcompact models from two different manufacturers, the average mileage of 12 A-brand cars was 27.2 miles per gallon, and the standard deviation was 3.8 mpg. The 9 B-brand cars a tested were averaging 32.1 mpg with a standard deviation of 4.3 mpg. For a = 0.01, can it be concluded that mark A gives a lower average...
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...
