The number of miles my car can go on a gallon of gasoline is normally distributed with a mean of 30 miles and a standard deviation of 4 miles. i currently have exactly one gallon in my tank, and have to travel 35 miles to my destination.
1. what is the probability i make it to my destination before i run out of gas?
2. find the distance d so that i have a 90% chance of traveling d miles before running out of gas (assuming again that i start with one gallon).
3. suppose i can change my mean mileage per gallon by adjusting the carburetor. what value should i set the mean to so that i have a 90% chance of making it 35 miles on one gallon of gas?

He graph of f(x) = |x| is stretched by a factor of 0.3 and translated down 4 units. which statement about the domain and range of each function is correct? the range of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers greater than or equal to 4. the domain of the transformed function is all real numbers and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the range of the transformed function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the domain of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers.

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
