In order to determine what transmission design is better for a vehicle’s MPG, and quantify this difference, we performed a hypothesis test on the transmission design variable modeled on a 1974 Motor Trend data set. We could not reject the null hypothesis that automatic and manual provide equivalent fuel economy. It was determined that transmission design is not a significant factor influencing fuel economy.

Storm events may cause both public health and economic problems for communities and municipalities. As such the most devastating storms are the basis of much concern.
