5. In one year, there were 125 major new automobile types available. If you look at the miles per gallon (MPG) for these vehicles, the distributions are roughly normal. The means and standard deviations are given by: Mean Standard Deviation

City MPG 22.37 4.77

Highway MPG 29.09 5.46

a. The Honda Civic had a rating of 45 highway MPG. What is the probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic?

b. The Lincoln Continental had a rating of 17 city MPG. What percent of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental?

a. 0.0018 = 0.18% probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic

b. 89.06% of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

a. The Honda Civic had a rating of 45 highway MPG. What is the probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic?

For Highway, we have that

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 45. So

has a pvalue of 0.9982

1 - 0.9982 = 0.0018

0.0018 = 0.18% probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic.

b. The Lincoln Continental had a rating of 17 city MPG. What percent of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental?

City means that

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 17. So

has a pvalue of 0.1094

1 - 0.1094 = 0.8906

0.8906 = 89.06% of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental

step-by-step explanation:

one day the were 5 ducks, and their king told them to multiply their kingdom. so each went their own seperate way and met 4 other ducks on their journey.

when the ducks returned to their kingdom, it was discovered that there were 5 groups of 5 ducks. when the kind counted the number of ducks in total (including the ones he sent out earlier) he counted 25.

therefore 5 times 5 is 25.

the end. : )

the correct answer is c

good luck love
