For a 2009 honda insight the average mpg usage for a sample


Section Exercise

The average mpg usage for a 2009 Toyota Prius for a sample of 7 tanks of gas was 43.5 with a standard deviation of 1.8. For a 2009 Honda Insight, the average mpg usage for a sample of 7 tanks of gas was 39.9 with a standard deviation of 2.0.

Assuming equal variances, at α = 0.05, is the true mean mpg lower for the Honda Insight? 

(a-1) Choose the appropriate hypotheses. 

a.H0μtoy - μhon ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > 1.782

b.H0μtoy - μhon ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < 1.782

c.H0μtoy - μhon ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < - 1.782

d.H0μtoy - μhon ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > - 1.782   abcd 

(a-2) Calculate the tcalc(Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
