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 X gallons of fuel to carry 210 passengers 8000
miles. The fuel efficiency
is estimated as X/(210 x 8000). Find the mean of this estimate.
d. Assuming the amounts of fuel used are independent for each
passenger-mile, find the
standard deviation of the estimate in part (c).

Commercial airlines need to know the operating cost per hour of flight for each plane in their fleet. In a study of the relationship between operating cost per hour and number of passenger seats, investigators computed the regression of operating cost per hour on the number of passenger seats. The 12 sample aircrafts used in the study included planes with as few as 216 passenger seats and planes with as many as 410 passenger seats. Operating cost per hour ranged...
number 14 Fuel consumption is commonly measured in miles per gallon (milgal). An agency designed new fuel consumption tests to be used starting with 2008 car models. Listed below are randomly selected amounts by which the measured MPG ratings decreased because of the new 2008 standards. Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the sample data. Is the decrease of 4 mi/gal unusual? Why or why not? 2 2 3 1 3 3 4 2 2 2 2 1...
What happened on United flight 3411?What service expectations do customers have of airlines such as United and How did these expectations develop over time? Thank You! In early April 2017, United Airlines (United), one of the largest airlines in the world, found itself yet again in the middle of a service disaster this time for forcibly dragging a passenger off an overbooked flight. The incident was to become a wake-up call for United, forcing it to ask itself what to...
How can we assess whether a project is a success or a failure? This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects. Bombardier and Its Environment Joseph-Armand Bombardier was 15 years old when he built his first snowmobile...
