Question 9
Answer questions 9 - 13 for a = 0.10 using the following problem statement:
To test whether a fuel additive improves gas mileage, investigators measured the gas mileage (in miles per gallon) of nine cars with and without the fuel additive. At a level of α = 0.10, can it be concluded that the additive improved gas mileage ? The results are shown below.
