Gasoline mileage (mpg) was measured on several cars of each of four different makes (coded 1, 2, 3 and 4). The make of each car is stored in the first column, and the mileage for each car is stored in the second column, of Table A. You need to conduct an analysis of variance to see if there are differences among the four makes in gasoline mileage. You should also estimate the mileage of each of the four makes of cars.
NOTE: For the following questions (6 - 13), use the error mean square and the error degrees of freedom to calculate confidence intervals and to test hypotheses about pairs of means
6. How many cars of make 2 were evaluated in this experiment? |
7. What was the average gasoline mileage for make 2? |
|
8. How many cars of make 3 were evaluated in this experiment? |
9. What was the average gasoline mileage for make 3? |
10. What was the margin of error for the confidence interval for gasoline mileage of make 2?
11. What was the lower 95% confidence limit for make 2 mileage? |
12. What was the upper 95% confidence limit for make 2 mileage? |
13. What is the value of the t test statistic for testing the hypothesis that makes 2 and 3 do not differ in mileage?

Each of three cars is driven with each of four different brands of gasoline. The number of miles per gallon driven for each of the ab = (3)(4) = 12 different combinations is recorded below. Car 1 2 3 4 1 26 28 31 31 2 24 25 28 27 3 25 25 28 26 Test the hypothesis that we can expect the same mileage for each of these four brands of gasoline at α = 0.01. Test the hypothesis...
Problem 5. The mileage of a certain make of car may not be exactly that rated by the manufacturer. Suppose ten cars of the same model were tested for combined city and highway mileages, with the following results: 1 Car No. Observed Mileage 35 40 37 4232 43 38 32 41 34 (mpg) 1 23 4 56 78 9 10 a) Estimate the sample mean and standard deviation of the actual mileage of this particular make of car. Suppose that...
A company claims that you can expect your car to get one mpg better gas mileage while using their gasoline additive. A magazine did a study to find out how much a car’s gas mileage improved while using the gasoline additive. The study used 36 cars and recorded the average mpg with and without the additive for each car in the study. The cars with the additive averaged 1.20 mpg better than without and had a variance of 0.36 (mpg)2.a....
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...
To test if the mileage of three different makes of cars is the same, randomly selected trips on those makes are recorded and the data is shown below for the miles per gallon of the trips Make 1 Make 2 Make 3 29.9 45.8 34.8 31.1 40.3 41.4 23.5 36.6 40 30.5 29 37.6 35.4 40.3 41.4 33 33 48.1 28.5 35.5 37.2 32.4 34.9 44.1 25.7 31 42 40.3 44.9 Use one way ANOVA to test if the means...
A major oil company has developed a new gasoline additive that is supposed to increase mileage. To test this hypothesis, ten cars are randomly selected. The cars are driven both with and without the additive. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that the gasoline additive does significantly increase mileage? Let d=(gas mileage with additive)−(gas mileage without additive). Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the gas mileages...
4. Many drivers of cars that can run on regular gas actually buy premium gas in the belief that they will get better gas mileage. To test that belief, a consumer research group evaluated the use of 9 cars in a company fleet in which all the cars run on regular gas. Each car was filled first with either regular or premium gasoline, decided by a coin toss, and the mileage for that tankful was recorded. Then the mileage was...
