An automobile manufacturer claims that its jeep has a 53.9 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 110 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 53.7. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.8. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used.

Find the value of the test statistic.

Value of the test statistic,

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis,

Alternative hypothesis,

Sample mean,

Sample size, n = 110

Standard deviation,

Significance level,

The value of the test statistics is given by the formula:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
