According to www.epa.gov, the mean gas mileage of all 2019 carsand small SUVs was 27.3 mpg. Suppose the gas mileage of a randomsample of 36 cars and small SUVs found a mean of 24.2 mpg with astandard deviation of 6.8 mpg.
a. Fill in the following information – one is missing, leave itblank.
x bar= __________σ= __________? = __________s = __________n =__________.
b. Calculate the standard error and round your answer to 1decimal place: SE = ___________
c. Suppose we were to make a histogram of the gas mileage of the36 vehicles. The histogram would be a display of which of thefollowing?
Circle the best answer.(i) population distribution (iii)sampling distribution of means(ii) distribution of a sample (iv)Normal distribution.
d.Suppose the process of taking random samples of size 36 isrepeated 20 times and a histogram of the 20 sample means iscreated. The histogram would be a display of which of thefollowing?
Circle the best answer.(i) population distribution (iii)sampling distribution of means(ii) distribution of a sample (iv)Normal distribution. Which graph would have the least variation:population distribution, distribution of a sample, or a samplingdistribution?
