Suppose that gasoline costs $3.55 per gallon. Your car gets 35 miles per gallon. How many gallons of gas do you need to drive 455 miles? How much will gasoline cost to drive 1000 miles? How many miles can you drive on 19 gallons of gas? How far can you drive on $15 worth of gas?
The manufacturer of a new compact car claims the miles per gallon (mpg) for the gasoline consumption is mound-shaped and symmetric with a mean of 24.6 mpg and a standard deviation of 9.5 mpg. If 30 such cars are tested, what is the probability the average mpg achieved by these 30 cars will be greater than 28?
1. Assuming your car gets 30 miles/gallon and you drive 5,000 miles each year, calculate how many gallons of gasoline you use per year by driving your car. Give your (numerical) answer to the nearest 1 without any unit. 2. )Using your answer above, 167 gallons, calculate how many liters of gasoline your car burns per year. 1 gallon = 3.8 liters, 1 L = 1000 mL, 1 kg = 1000 g Give you answer to the nearest 1 without...
The corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard for mileage is currently 26.5 miles per gallon of gasoline (the defender) for passenger cars. To conserve fuel and reduce air pollution, suppose the u.s Congress sets the CAFE standard at 35 miles per gallon(the challenger) in 2010. An auto will emit on average 0.8 pounds of carbon dioxide(c02) per mile driven at 26.5 miles per gallon, and will emit 0.65 pounds of CO2 per mile driven at 35 miles per gallon. A....
Your car gets 25 miles per gallon (mpg at 60 miles per hour (mph) and 18 mpg at 70 mph At what speed should you make a 600-mile trip: a. If gas costs $3 per gallon and your time is worth S12 per hour? b. If gas costs S4 per gallon and your time is worth $15 per hour? allon and your time is worth S10 per hour? d. Build a spreadsheet to calculate the total trip cost for gas...
A car company claims that its compact model gets 33 miles per gallon. A government inspector tests 12 of the company cars and finds that the average mileage is 29.9 mpg with a standard deviation of 1.2 mpg. Test if the mileage found is significantly less than the mileage claimed by the company using = 0.01.
You currently drive 375 miles per week in a car that gets 18 miles per gallon of gas. You are considering buying a new fuel-efficient car for$15,000(after trade-in on your current car) that gets 45 miles per gallon. Insurance premiums for the new and old car are$1000 and $500 per year, respectively. You anticipate spending $1500 per year on repairs for the old car and having no repairs on the new car. Assume gas costs$3.50 per gallon. Over a five-year...
A car company claims that its compact model gets 31 miles per gallon. A government inspector tests 38 of the company cars and finds that the average mileage is 29.7 mpg with a standard deviation of 2.2 mpg. Test if the mileage found is significantly less than the mileage claimed by the company using α = 0.01. (show bell shaped graph)
Assume you own a car that gets 20 miles per gallon on average. If you typically drive 16,000 miles per year and the price of gasoline goes from $2.00 per gallon to $3.00 per gallon, what is your additional cost per year?
If a truck gets 16 miles per gallon on average, how much carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere when the truck travels 265 miles? Express your answer rounded to the nearest tenth of a pound of carbon dioxide lb of CO2
