Fueleconomy. gov, the official us government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. the histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (mpg) from 14 users who drive a 2012 toyota prius. the sample mean is 53.3 mpg and the standard deviation is 5.2 mpg. note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates is not guaranteed.

6 4 2 40 45 50 mileage (in mpg) 60 65

(a) we would like to use these data to evaluate the average gas mileage of all 2012 prius drivers. do you think this is reasonable? why or why not?

(b) the epa claims that a 2012 prius gets 50 mpg (city and highway mileage combined). do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy. gov? note any assumptions you must make as you proceed with the test.

(c) calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average gas mileage of a 2012 prius by drivers who participate on fueleconomy. gov.

(3.38) in its fuel economy guide for 2014 model vehicles, the environmental protection agency gives data on 1160 vehicles. there are a number of high outliers, mainly hybrid gas–electric vehicles. if we ignore the vehicles identified as outliers, however, the combined city and highway gas mileage of the other 1134 vehicles is approximately normal with mean 22.2 miles per gallon (mpg) and standard deviation 5.2 mpg. the quintiles of any distribution are the values with cumulative proportions 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, and 0.80. what are the quintiles of the distribution of gas mileage?

In its fuel economy guide for 2016 model vehicles, the environmental protection agency gives data on 1170 vehicles. there are a number of high outliers, mainly hybrid gas‑electric vehicles. if we ignore the vehicles identified as outliers, however, the combined city and highway gas mileage of the other 1146 vehicles is approximately normal with mean 23.0 miles per gallon (mpg) and standard deviation 4.9 mpg. the 2016 volkswagen beetle with a four‑cylinder 1.8 ‑l engine and automatic transmission has combined gas mileage of 28 mpg. find the percentage of 2016 vehicles that have better gas mileage than the beetle's gas mileage. (enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.)
