A sample of 20 automobiles produced a standard deviation of 2.6 miles per gallon. Is the standard deviation really less than previously thought? Use a = 0.05 and the
P-value method.

apartments in a certain county is $95. A random sample of rates in dollars is shown. At a = 0.02, can the claim be refuted?
