Questions: To save energy, a goal is set to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car. Has this goal been met? Since the computed mean number of occupants is √2, then this goal to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car has not been met.

To save energy, a goal is set to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car. Has this goal been met?

Since the computed mean number of occupants is √2, then this goal to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car has not been met.

Transcript text: (c) To save energy, a goal is set to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car. Has this goal been met? Since the computed mean number of occupants is $\sqrt[2]{*}$, then this goal to have the mean number of occupants be at least two per car has not $\boldsymbol{\nabla}$ been met.

Solution

Solution Steps

To determine if the goal of having the mean number of occupants be at least two per car has been met, we need to compare the computed mean number of occupants to the target value of 2. If the computed mean is greater than or equal to 2, the goal has been met; otherwise, it has not.

Step 1: Identify the Given Values

We are given the computed mean number of occupants per car, which is $1.5$. The target mean number of occupants per car is $2$.

Step 2: Compare the Computed Mean to the Target

We need to determine if the computed mean number of occupants ($1.5$) is greater than or equal to the target mean number of occupants ($2$).

Step 3: Determine if the Goal is Met

Since $1.5 < 2$, the goal of having the mean number of occupants be at least two per car has not been met.
