The average mpg usage for a 2017 Toyota Prius for a sample of 23 tanks of gas was 45.6 with a standard deviation of 2.3. For a 2017 Ford Fusion, the average mpg usage for a sample of 23 tanks of gas was 44.0 with a standard deviation of 2.2.

Assuming equal variances, at= .05, is the true mean mpg lower for the Ford Fusion?

(a-1)Choose the appropriate hypotheses.

  1. H0:toy-ford 0 vs.H1:toy-ford> 0. RejectH0iftcalc> 1.680
  2. H0:toy-ford 0 vs.H1:toy-ford> 0. RejectH0iftcalc< 1.680
  3. H0:toy-ford 0 vs.H1:toy-ford< 0. RejectH0iftcalc< - 1.680
  4. H0:toy-ford 0 vs.H1:toy-ford< 0. RejectH0iftcalc> - 1.680

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

(a-3)Based on thetcalcdetermined, choose the correct decision: Fail to reject the null hypothesis or Reject the null hypothesis

(a-4)Is the true mean mpg lower for the Ford Fusion? Yes or No?

(b)Calculate thep-value using Excel.(Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
