Martin Motors has in stock three cars of the same make and model. The president would like to compare the gas consumption of the three cars (labeled car A, car B, and car C using four different types of gasoline. For each trial, a gallon of gasoline was added to an empty tank, and the car was driven until it ran out of gas.

The following table shows the number of miles driven in each trial.

Distance (miles)
Types of Gasoline Car A Car B Car C
Regular 22.4 20.8 21.5
Super regular 17.0 19.4 20.7

Using the .05 level of significance:
a. Is there a difference amount types of gasoline?
b. Is there a difference in the cars?

A regional commuter airline selected a random sample of 25 flights and found that the correlation between the number of passengers and the total weight, in pounds, of luggage stored in the luggage compartment is 0.94.
Using the .05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a positive association between the two variables?

A suburban hotel derives its gross income from its hotel and restaurant operations. The owners are interested in the relationship between the number of rooms occupied on a nightly basis and the revenue per day in the restaurant.
