8.7 Fuel Tank Capacity. Consumer Reports provides informa- tion on new automobile models—including price, mileage ratings, engine size, body size, and indicators of features. A simple random sample of 35 new models yielded the following data on
fuel tank capacity, in gallons.
17.2 23.1 17.5 15.7 19.8 16.9 15.3 18.5 18.5 25.5 18.0 17.5 14.5 20.0 17.0 20.0 24.0 26.0 18.1 21.0 19.3 20.0 20.0 12.5 13.2 15.9
14.5 22.2 21.1 14.4 25.0 26.4 16.9 16.4 23.0
a. Find a point estimate for the mean fuel tank capacity of all new automobile models. Interpret your answer in words. (Note: x i
= 664.9 gallons.)
b. Determine a 95.44% confidence interval for the mean fuel tank capacity of all new automobile models. Assume σ = 3.50
gallons.
c. How would you decide whether fuel tank capacities for new automobile models are approximately normally distributed?
d. Must fuel tank capacities for new automobile models be ex- actly normally distributed for the confidence interval that you
obtained in part (b) to be approximately correct? Explain your answer. 8.8 Home Improvements. The American Express Retail

pooled t-statisticLet’s use σ to denote the common standard deviation of the two populations. We know from Key Fact 10.1 on page 394 that, for
independent samples, the standardized version of ¯x 1 −¯x 2 , z = ( ¯x 1 −¯x 2 ) − (μ 1 − μ 2 ) √ , (σ1 2/n 1) + (σ2 2/n 2)
10.56 Simulation. In this exercise, you are to perform a computer simulation to illustrate the distribution of the pooled t-statistic,
given above
a. Simulate 1000 random samples of size 4 from a normally dis- tributed variable with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of
16. Then obtain the sample mean and sample standard de- viation of each of the 1000 samples.
b. Simulate 1000 random samples of size 3 from a normally dis- tributed variable with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of
16. Then obtain the sample mean and sample standard de- viation of each of the 1000 samples.
c. Determine the value of the pooled t-statistic for each of the 1000 pairs of samples obtained in parts (a) and (b).
d. Obtain a histogram of the 1000 values found in part (c). e. Theoretically, what is the distribution of all possible values of the
pooled t-statistic? f. Compare your results from parts (d) and (e).

Working with Large Data Sets In each of Exercises 12.59–12.61,
use the technology of your choice to solve the specified problems.
12.59 Governors. The National Governors Association pub- lishes information on U.S. governors in Governors’ Political
Affiliations & Terms of Office. Based on that document, we obtained the data on region of residence and political party given on
the WeissStats CD.
a. Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contin- gency table.
b. Determine the conditional distribution of region within each party and the marginal distribution of region.
c. Determine the conditional distribution of party within each re- gion and the marginal distribution of party.
d. Are the variables “region” and “party” for U.S. governors as- sociated? Explain your answer.

12.60 Motorcycle Accidents.
The Scottish Executive, Analyti- cal Services Division Transport Statistics, compiles information on motorcycle accidents in
Scotland. During one year, data on the number of motorcycle accidents, by day of the week and type of road (built-up or non
built-up), are as presented on the WeissStats CD.
a. Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contin- gency table.
b. Determine the conditional distribution of day of the week within each type-of-road category and the marginal distribu- tion of
day of the week.
