Answer key A certain brand of car is rated to get 35 miles per gallon on the highway. A researcher believes the claim is faulty – that is too high. His company drives a random sample of 40 cars in identical highway conditions for a total of 500 miles and checks the fuel economy. He finds that the average rating for the cars is 32.54 miles per gallon. Using a population standard deviation of 1.3mpg, determine if there is evidence at the 2% level that the company’s claim of 35 mpg is too high. Also, find a 98% confidence interval for the average mileage rating of this car and interpret the answer.

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Which of the following best describes the figure?
