two auto manufacturers have introduced cars with the same size engines. we'd like to know which brand will get better gas mileage. we obtain eight cars of each make. from a pool of drivers, a driver is randomly assigned to one of each type of car. the correct test to use with these data is a pairs test.

Sagot :

The difference in the mean of the two major automobile manufactures is equal to option c. 2.0.

As given in the questions,

Number of samples selected for each manufactures = 8

For manufacturers A :

Mean of manufacturer A

=(Sum of all the eight data) / ( Number of data)

= ( 32+ 27 + 26 + 26 + 25 + 29 + 31 + 25 ) / 8

= 221 / 8

= 27.625

Mean of manufacturer B

=(Sum of all the eight data) / ( Number of data)

= ( 28 + 22 + 27 + 24 + 24 + 25 + 28 + 27 ) / 8

= 205 / 8

= 25.625

Difference in the mean of manufacturer A and B

= 27.625 - 25.625

= 2.0

Therefore, the difference in the mean of both manufacturer is given by Option C. 2.0.

The complete question is :

Two major automobile manufacturers have produced compact cars with engines of the same size. We are interested in determining whether or not there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles. A random sample of eight cars from each manufacturer is selected, and eight drivers are selected to drive each automobile for a specified distance. The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test. Assume the population of differences is normally distributed.

Driver              Manufacturer A                 Manufacturer B

1                             32                                    28

2                            27                                    22

3                            26                                    27

4                            26                                    24

5                            25                                    24

6                            29                                    25

7                             31                                    28

8                             25                                   27

A) The mean for the differences is __________

a. 0.50               b. 1.5                 c. 2.0              d. 2.5
