The third option is correct. Step-by-step explanation: Various transformations apply to a function f(x). If a transformation is applied downward by 'k' units, the function shifts down; if upward, it rises 'k' units. Additionally, if scaled vertically by a factor of 'b', it will stretch; if reflected over the x-axis, the operation is indicated. Thus, since the parent function has undergone reflection over the x-axis, a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, and a downward shift of three units, we can derive that the transformed function is presented.
We opt to accept the null hypothesis. Given the following details provided: the Sample mean equals 28.8 miles per gallon, Sample size n is 120, and Alpha α is 0.01 with a sample standard deviation of 6.89 miles per gallon. Initially, we set up the null and alternative hypotheses. Utilizing a two-tailed t-test facilitates this hypothesis testing. By substituting the relevant values we calculate, and eventually conclude that we fail to reject the null hypothesis, endorsing that the average MPG for the Toyota Highlander Hybrid vehicles is indeed 28 miles per gallon.
