Answer:
Hence, we can conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the new automobile actually do average more than 42 miles per gallon.
Explanation:
H0 : μ = 42
H1 : μ > 42
Sample size, n = 36
xbar = 42.8
Standard deviation, s = 1.2
The test statistic :
(xbar - μ) ÷ (s / sqrt(n))
(42.8 - 42) ÷ (1.2 / sqrt(36))
0.8 ÷ 0.2 = 4
Test statistic = 4
Zcritical at 95% for a one - tailed test (right tailed) = 1.645
Test statistic > Critical value ; 4 > 1.645
Since Test statistic > Critical value ; We fail to reject the Null
Hence, we can conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the new automobile actually do average more than 42 miles per gallon.
The Pvalue :
P(Z < 4) = 0.99997
Since,
Pvalue > α
0.99998 > 0.05 ; We fail to reject the Null
Hence, we can conclude that there is no significant evidence to conclude that the new automobile actually do average more than 42 miles per gallon.
