Saving gas Congress regulates corporate fuel economy and sets an annual gas mileage for cars. A company with a large fleet of cars hopes to meet the 2011 goal of 30.2 mpg or better for their fleet of cars. To see if the goal is being met, they check the gasoline usage for 50 company trips chosen at random, finding a mean of 32.12 mpg and a standard deviation of 4.83 mpg. Is this strong evidence that they have attained their fuel economy goal?

a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

b) Are the necessary assumptions to make inferences satisfied?

 c) Describe the sampling distribution model of mean fuel economy for samples like this.

 d) Find the P-value.

e) Explain what the P-value means in this context.

f) State an appropriate conclusion
