An automobile manufacturer claims that its jeep has a 53.9 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 110 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 53.7. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.8. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used.

Find the value of the test statistic.

Value of the test statistic,

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis,

Alternative hypothesis,

Sample mean,

Sample size, n = 110

Standard deviation,

Significance level,

The value of the test statistics is given by the formula:

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

boxplot e is the answer
