In a recent year, gasoline-powered passenger cars in a certain county of Ohio consumed 28,417,000 million BTU and traveled 6.068 billion miles. Assuming a conversion rate equal to 114,000 BTU per gallon for regular liquid gasoline, what was the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (do not include units)?
Homework Answers
114,000 BTU is actually 1 Gallon
Therefore, 28417000 BTU will be equivalent to (1/114000)*28417000 Gallons
= 249.27 Gallons
Fuel efficiency = Total Distance travelled/fuel.consumed
= (6068million/249.27gallons)
= 24.34 millions per gallon

The maker of a certain model car claimed that the car averaged at least 36 miles per gallon of gasoline. A sample of nine cars was selected and each car was driven with one gallon of regular gasoline. The sample showed a mean of 34.43 miles with a standard deviation of 3 miles. Assume you doubt that the car can achieve 36 miles per gallon - you believe the fuel efficiency would actually be lower. State your hypothesis and test...

A certain commercial jet plane uses a mean of 0.15 gallons of fuel per passenger-mile, with a standard deviation of 0.01 gallons. a. Find the mean number of gallons the plane uses to fly 8000 miles if it carries 210 passengers. b. Assume the amounts of fuel used are independent for each passenger-mile traveled. Find the standard deviation of the number of gallons of fuel the plane uses to fly 8000 miles while carrying 210 passengers. c. The plane used...

A liter is 0.264179 gallons. Write a program that will read in the number of liters of gasoline consumed by the user's car and the number of miles per gallon the car delivered. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes. Define a function to compute the number of miles per gallon. Your program should use a globally defined constant for the number of liters per gallon. After doing this... Modify your...

A recent report states the variance of the fuel consumption of a certain car is equal to 16.81 miles per gallon (mpg). A researcher claims the actual variance is lower. A sample of 21 cars produced a variance of 6.25 mpg. Test the claim at alpha = 0.05, use the P-value method. For question #29, tell what type of test his is (right, left, or two-tailed). For question #30, select from choices given with regard to identifying the alternate hypothesis....
