In the past, the mean gas mileage of a car is 32 mpg. The manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method and wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean gas mileage has increased as a result. The hypotheses are
H0: μ = 32 mpg H1: μ > 32 mpg
Suppose that the actual average mileage has increased and the results of the sampling fail to lead to rejection of the null hypothesis.
Indicate which of the following is correct regarding this decision.
Type - I Error |

Type - II Error |

At one school, in 2005, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spent watching television each week was 21.6 hours. The principal introduced a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, in 2006, the principal performed a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week had decreased. The hypotheses are: H0: μ ≥ 21.6 hours Ha: μ < 21.6 hours where μ is the mean amount of time,...
Question Holo Three years ago, the mean price of a single-family home was $243,738. A real estate broker believes that the mean price has decreased since then. The null and alternative hypotheses are H, 1 = $243,738, H<$243.738. a. Explain what it would mean to make a type error O A. Atype error would occur it in fact p $243,738, but the results of the sampling load to the conclusion that <$243.738 OB. A type I error would occur it...
The mean length of imprisonment for motor vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean lot of imprisonment in this oyers from the national mean. The null and ternative hypotheses are = 22.1 months H 2 2.1 months a. Explain what would mean to make a type error OA Alypel error would occur if in fact - 22.1 months, but the results of the sampling lead to...
A manufacturer claims that the mean amount of juice in its 16 ounce bottles is 16.1 ounces. A consumer advocacy group wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean amount is actually less than this. The hypotheses are: HE 16.1 once H <16. once where is the mean amount of juice in the manufacturer' 16 ounce bottles Explain the meaning of Type Terre A Type Terror would occur if in fact, 16.1 ounces, but the results of...
11) In the past, the mean battery life for a certain type of flashlight battery has been 8.8 hours. The manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method and wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean battery life has increased as a result. The hypotheses are: H0 : 4 = 8.8 hours H4> 8.8 hours a) Explain the result of a Type I erro b) Explain the result of a Type II error.
A car company says that the mean gas mileage for its luxury sedan is at least 23 miles per gallon (mpg). You believe the claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 7 cars has a mean gas mileage of 21 mpg and a standard deviation of 4 mpg. At α-010, test the company's claim. Assume the population is normally distributed. here to view 1 of the normal Which sampling distribution should be used and why? O A....
An automobile manufacturer claims that their car has a 56.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this car. After testing 14 cars they found a mean MPG of 56.6 with a standard deviation of 1.1. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the cars underperform the manufacturer's MPG rating? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Answer 2 Points...
An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 36.2 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 220 vans, they found a mean MPG of 36.0. Assume the variance is known to be 4.41. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis...
a certain car model has a mean gas mileage of 34 Miles per gallon (mpg) with a population standard deviation for. A pizza delivery company buys a sample of 54 of these cars. What is the probability that the average mileage of the fleet is greater than 33.7 MPG? Question 14 (3 points) A certain car model has a mean gas mileage of 34 miles per gallon (mpg) with a population standard deviation 4. A pizza delivery company buys a...
