Question 10

The CO emission x x\,x g/km of each of 150 petrol cars is recorded. For these cars,

∑x=33\sum x = 33∑x=33 and ∑x2=7.8\sum x^2 = 7.8∑x2=7.8

For a sample of diesel cars, the CO emissions have mean 0.15 g/km and standard deviation 0.04 g/km.

a.

Calculate the mean CO emission of the 150 petrol cars.

[1]
b.
