1. A federal government agency that is responsible for setting vehicle fuel economy standards for automobile manufacturers is conducting research in order to update its fuel economy standards for the year 2030. Automobile​ manufacturers, and​ consumers, are highly interested in what the​ agency's findings and determinations will be as this will affect every vehicle in the United States. The federal government agency is very interested in the relationship between the weight of a vehicle and the​ vehicle's fuel economy​ (average miles per gallon​ (MPG)). Specifically, the agency is concerned that if the current trend of automobile manufacturers producing heavier new vehicles continues that its fuel economy targets will not be met. The​ agency's research department recently collected data for analysis in order to support the​ agency's upcoming discussion with industry regarding its proposed 2030 fuel economy standards. The average MPG from a random sample of 750 vehicles was recently calculated by the agency. The research division also collected the vehicle weight of these 750 randomly sampled vehicles. The Vehicle​ Number, Type, Vehicle​ Weight, Average​ MPG, Fuel Tank Size​ (Gallons), Engine Size​ (Liters), and Meet or Not Meet Current Standards data were collected for these 750 vehicles. Agency leadership is interested in analyzing the engine sizes of this sample of 750 vehicles.​ (Use the mean and standard deviation of the Engine Size​ (L) data.​ Also, if appropriate based upon your visual analysis of a histogram of the Engine Size​ (L) data, use the Normal distribution to answer this​ question.) Calculate the probability of randomly selecting a vehicle with an engine size less than 2.7 L. enter your response here​% ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 2 Calculate the probability of randomly selecting a vehicle with an engine size greater than 3.9 L. enter your response here​% ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 3 Calculate the probability of randomly selecting a vehicle with an engine between than 3.1 L and 4.2 L. enter your response here​% ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 4 Calculate the engine size that represents the 10th percentile of this sample. enter your response here L ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) 2. Agency leadership is very interested in trend analysis. Using the 750 randomly selected vehicles as their​ sample, data was collected to determine which vehicles currently meet or exceed fuel economy standards and which vehicles currently do not meet fuel economy standards. This information is found in the Meet or Not Meet Current Standards column. Agency leadership asks your team to construct a​ 95% One-Sample proportion confidence interval for the population proportion of all vehicles that meet current fuel economy standards. Assume that all necessary Central Limit Theorem conditions for a​ One-Proportion confidence interval have been met. What is the​ 95% lower​ limit? enter your response here​% ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) What is the​ 95% upper​ limit? enter your response here​% ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Using the​ 95% confidence​ interval, would it be plausible to conclude that the population proportion of vehicles that currently meet fuel economy standards is​ 90%? A. ​No, since​ 90% lies outside the constructed confidence interval. B. ​Yes, since​ 90% lies outside the constructed confidence interval. C. ​No, since​ 90% lies within the constructed confidence interval. D. ​Yes, since​ 90% lies within the constructed confidence interval. 3. Agency leadership decides to run a One Proportion hypothesis test to determine if the proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is less than​90%. Assume that all necessary Central Limit Theorem conditions for a​ One-Proportion Z-test have been met. What is the appropriate null hypothesis in this​ case? The proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is ▼   not equal to less than greater than equal to  ​90%. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis in this​ case? The proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is ▼   not equal to equal to  greater than less than ​90%. What is the test statistic for this hypothesis​ test? The test statistic is enter your response here. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) What is the​ p-value for this hypothesis​ test? The​ p-value is enter your response here. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) What would you conclude based on an α=0.05 ​level? We ▼   reject fail to reject the null hypothesis and ▼   accept do not accept the alternative hypothesis since there ▼   is is not sufficient evidence that the proportion of all vehicles that meet or exceed current fuel economy standards is ▼   greater less than​ 90% due to the​ p-value being ▼   greater less than the α level. Explain the results of your hypothesis test. What does the​ p-value signify? Would you say the observed outcome was​ unusual? If​ so, how unusual was the​ outcome? 4. Agency leadership decides to use the vehicle weight data from its random sample of 750 vehicles to estimate the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road. Construct a​ 95% One-Sample T confidence interval for the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road. Assume that all necessary Central Limit Theorem conditions for a​ One-Sample T confidence interval have been met. What is the​ 95% lower​ limit? enter your response here ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 2 What is the​ 95% upper​ limit? enter your response here ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 3 Using the​ 95% confidence​ interval, would it be plausible to conclude that the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is 2500​ pounds? A. ​Yes, since 2500 lies outside the constructed confidence interval. B. ​No, since 2500 lies outside the constructed confidence interval. C. ​Yes, since 2500 lies within the constructed confidence interval. D. ​No, since 2500 lies within the constructed confidence interval. Part 4 Explain why the agency would construct a confidence interval instead of collecting vehicle weight information of all passenger vehicles currently on the road. 5. Agency leadership decides to use the vehicle weight data from its random sample of 750 vehicles to estimate the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road. Construct a​ 90% One-Sample T confidence interval for the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road. Assume that all necessary Central Limit Theorem conditions for a​ One-Sample T confidence interval have been met. What is the​ 90% lower​ limit? enter your response here ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 2 What is the​ 90% upper​ limit? enter your response here ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 3 Using the​ 90% confidence​ interval, would it be plausible to conclude that the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is 2400​ pounds? A. ​No, since 2400 lies within the constructed confidence interval. B. ​Yes, since 2400 lies within the constructed confidence interval. C. ​No, since 2400 lies outside the constructed confidence interval. D. ​Yes, since 2400 lies outside the constructed confidence interval. Part 4 Compare your​ 90% confidence interval to the​ 95% confidence​ interval, (2484.92,​ 2569.56). Explain which confidence interval is wider and why. 6. Agency leadership decides to run a One​ Sample-T hypothesis test to determine if the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is significantly different than 2600 pounds. Assume that all necessary Central Limit Theorem conditions for a​ One-Sample T-test have been met. Part 2 What is the appropriate null hypothesis in this​ case? The mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is ▼   not equal to equal to  less than greater than 2600 pounds. Part 3 What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis in this​ case? The mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is ▼   equal to  less than greater than not equal to 2600 pounds. Part 4 What is the test statistic for this hypothesis​ test? The test statistic is enter your response here. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.) Part 5 What is the​ p-value for this hypothesis​ test? The​ p-value is enter your response here. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) Part 6 What would you conclude based on an α=0.05 ​level? We ▼   reject fail to reject the null hypothesis and ▼   accept do not accept the alternative hypothesis since there ▼   is not is sufficient evidence that the mean vehicle weight of all passenger vehicles currently on the road is ▼   not equal to equal to 2600 pounds due to the​ p-value being ▼   less greater than the α level. Part 7 Based upon your hypothesis​ test, was the observed outcome​ unusual? If​ so, how unusual was the​ outcome?
