Preparing for the next class<\/div>\r\n
In the next in-class activity, you will need to understand how fuel efficiency is measured for electric cars, use technology to generate random numbers, and select a bootstrap sample and calculate its mean. We will be learning a new method for constructing a confidence interval for a population mean called a bootstrap confidence interval. Bootstrap confidence intervals can be used even if the conditions for a one-sample t confidence interval are not met. In this preview assignment, the dataset that will be used in the in-class activity will be introduced and we will learn about resampling, which is part of the process used to create a bootstrap confidence interval.For a gas-powered car, the usual way of measuring fuel efficiency is to report miles per gallon, which is abbreviated as \u201cmpg.\u201d This is how far the car can travel on a single gallon of gas. So, the greater the reported mpg value, the more efficient the car is and the less costly it is to operate. But electric vehicles don\u2019t use gas, so how is the fuel efficiency measured for electric cars? One measure that is used by the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)is the kilowatt hours per 100 miles rating, which is abbreviated as \u201ckWh\/100 miles.\u201d The kWh\/100 miles rating is the amount of electricity that is required to travel 100 miles.<\/div>\r\n

Question 1<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n
1) Let\u2019s explore the efficiency of electric cars in more detail.<\/div>\r\n
Part A: If you are looking for a gas-powered car, would you want the mpg rating to be high or low? Explain.<\/div>\r\n
Part B: If you are looking for an electric car, would you want the kWh\/100 milesrating to be high or low? Explain.<\/div>\r\n
Part C: In March 2021, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that the average cost of electricity was 13.29 cents per kWh. The 2021 Chevrolet Volt has a kWh\/100 miles rating of 29kWh\/100 miles. Assuming the cost of electricity is 13.29 cents per kWh, what is the energy cost of driving this car 100 miles? What is the energy cost of driving this car 500 miles?<\/div>\r\n
In the in-class activity, we will be working with a sample of kWh\/100 miles ratings for 10 electric cars that were randomly selected from the population of all the 2021 models of electric cars sold in the United States, as reported by the EPA.The sample data are shown in the following table.<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
In the in-class activity, we will learn a new way to construct confidence intervals that involves resampling from the data in a sample from a population. This involves selecting bootstrap samples. A bootstrap sample is a sample that is selected from the values in the original sample. The bootstrap sample is selected with replacement and the sample size is the same as the sample size of the original sample. We will see why it makes sense to do this in the in-class activity, so for now, we are just going to practice selecting a bootstrap sample from the sample of the 10 electric car kWh\/100 miles ratings. To create a bootstrap sample from the original sample, we want to select a new sample of size 10 by sampling with replacement from the original sample. Notice that the observations in the original sample are numbered from 1 to 10. To select the bootstrap sample, we can generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 10 to identify which values are included in the bootstrap sample. Because we are sampling with replacement, we should expect that some of the random numbers generated may be repeated.<\/div>\r\n
