Acar is advertised as having a gas mileage rating of at least 30 miles/gallon in highway driving. suppose the miles per gallon obtained in 10 independent experiments are 26, 24, 20, 25, 27, 25, 28, 30, 26, 33. (a) test whether the claim of the advertisement is true at the 10 percent level of significance. use the test statistic approach. (b) what assumption have you made in part (a)?

We conclude that the car have mileage rating less than 30 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 30 miles/gallon

Sample:

26, 24, 20, 25, 27, 25, 28, 30, 26, 33

where are data points, is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Sum of squares of differences = 110.4

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

Putting all the values, we have

Now,

Since,                  

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

We conclude that the car have mileage rating less than 30 miles per gallon.

b) We assumed that the level of significance is 0.05 that is 5%.
