Use the data below to test the following claim. A used car dealer says that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000. You suspect this claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 22 similar vehicles has a mean price of $20,640 and a standard deviation of $1990. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim at a 0.05? Assume the population is normally distributed

a) Identify the claim and state He and Ha
b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s)
c) Find the standardized test statistic.
d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

(a) Null Hypothesis, : = $20,000   {means that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000}

Alternate Hypothesis, : $20,000   {means that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is different from $20,000}

(b) Critical values of t are -2.08 and 2.08 at 21 degree of freedom.

(c) The test statistics is 1.508.

(d) We fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(e) We conclude that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 22 similar vehicles has a mean price of $20,640 and a standard deviation of $1990.

We have to test the claim of a used car dealer who says that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000.

Let = mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle.

SO, Null Hypothesis, : = $20,000   {means that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000}

Alternate Hypothesis, : $20,000   {means that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is different from $20,000}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                        T.S.  =  ~

where,  = sample mean price of vehicles = $20,640

             s = sample standard deviation = $1,990

             n = sample of vehicles = 22

So, test statistics  =     ~

                               =  1.508

Now at 0.05 significance level, the t table gives critical values of -2.08 and 2.08 at 21 degree of freedom for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean price of a three-year-old sport utility vehicle (in good condition) is $20,000.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
