The miles-per-gallon obtained by the 1995 model q cars is normally distributed with a mean of 22 miles-per-gallon and a standard deviation of 5 miles-per-gallon. what is the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon? (4 decimal format = 0.0000)

The probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon is 0.4207.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when . So

has a pvalue of 0.4207.

So the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon is 0.4207.

the answer is 1 becuz if it were 1.0 that would rip apart the entire so ya. : )
