the fuel effiency F for a particular car is given by f(x)=-0.018x^2+1.656x+2.4, where x is the speed of the car in miles per hour (mph) and f(x) is the corresponding fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg).

a) what is the fuel efficiency if the car's speed is 70 mph?

b) what speed will yield the maximum fuel efficiency? Show work.

Suppose that you work for the EPA and, given the current fuel issues, are interested in the gas mileage of their new car the “Flash.” The manufacturers claim that the realized gas mileage for any individual car follows a normal distribution with mean of 32 and variance of 9. You randomly sample 36 of these cars to test out their mileage and find that they averaged 30 miles per gallon among them. a. What is the probability that a randomly...

Dylan Jones kept careful records of the fuel efficiency of his new car. After the first ten times he filled up the tank, he found the mean was 25.3 miles per gallon (mpg) with a sample standard deviation of 0.8 mpg. 1) Compute the 90% confidence interval for his mpg. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) The confidence interval is between ___ and ___. 2) How many times should he fill his gas tank to obtain a margin of...

Problem An automobile maker claims that its newest Raptor V5s (a sports car) have a mean fuel efficiency of 48.5 miles per gallon on highways. A consumer advocate suspects, however, that the actual mean fuel efficiency of the Raptor V5s on highways is less than 48.5 miles per gallon. To test this hypothesis, the consumer advocate obtains a random sample of 35 Raptor V5s, measures their fuel efficiencies on highways, and calculates the sample mean fuel efficiency to be 46.2...

Professor wants to buy a new car, and of course it will be a sensible sedan, because, he is a professor. He is also concerned about how much carbon and air pollution he will produce from his car. He is considering two cars: -A Honda Civic sedan. The car will cost $20,500 and it will get on average 30 miles to the gallon. Assume that the 5-year repair and maintenance costs will be $3200. -A Toyota Prius sedan. The car...
