The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $3.73 and in Russia it is $3.40 (Bloomberg Businessweek, March 5–March 11, 2012). Assume these averages are the population means in the two countries and that the probability distributions are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $.25 in the United States and a standard deviation of $.20 in Russia. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in the United States charges less than $3.50 per gallon?
b. What percentage of the gas stations in Russia charge less than $3.50 per gallon?
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected gas station in Russia charged more than the mean price in the United States?

Which of the following statements is not true? a. parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never intersect. b. congruent figures have the same shape and same size angles and sides. c. similar figures must have the same shape and the same size. d. a rotation is when you turn a figure around a certain point.

The transitive property of equality states that: o if a = b, then bra o if a = b, then ac = bc o if a = b and b= c, then a = if a = b and c= c, then a + b = b + c

Asystem of linear equations with more equations than unknowns is sometimes called an overdetermined system. can such a system be consistent? illustrate your answer with a specific system of three equations in two unknowns. choose the correct answer below. a. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 6 b. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are fewer free variables than equations. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 12 c. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 8 d. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are no free variables. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 24
