Acertain model of automobile has its gas mileage (in miles per gallon, or mpg) normally distributed, with a mean of 32 mpg and a standard deviation of 4 mpg. find the probability that a car selected at random has the following gas mileages.

The probability that a car selected at random has

(a) less than 26 mpg  is 0.0668

(b) greater than 34 mpg is 0.3085

(c) between 30 and 34 mpg is 0.383

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is missing, complete question is below:

A certain model of automobile has its gas mileage (in miles per gallon, or mpg) normally distributed, with a mean of 32 mpg and a standard deviation of 4 mpg. Find the probability that a car selected at random has the following gas mileages.

(a) less than 26 mpg (b) greater than 34 mpg (c) between 30 and 34 mpg

z-score of a specific value in the distribution of gas mileages can be found using:

z= where

Then

a) P(X<26) = P(z<z*) where

z*= =-1.5

P(z<z*) = 0.0668

b) P(X>34)=1-P(x<34)=1-P(z<z*) where

z*= =0.5

Then 1-P(z<z*) = 1-0.6915 = 0.3085

c) P(30<X<34) =P(X<34)-P(X<30)

P(X<30)=P(z<z*) where

z*= =-0.5

Then P(z<z*)=0.3085 Since P(X<34)=0.6915 we have

P(30<X<34) =0.6915-0.3085 =0.383

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.
