The newest model of smart car is supposed to get excellent gas mileage. A thorough study showed that gas mileage (measured in mi

les per gallon) is normally distributed with a mean of 75 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 10 miles per gallon. What is the probability that, if driven normally, the car will get 100 miles per gallon or better? A. 1 - NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, FALSE) B. NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, FALSE) C. NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, TRUE) D. 1 – NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, TRUE)

Answer:

<em>D. 1 – NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, TRUE)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Excel's Normal Distribution</u>

The normal distribution has two parameters: the mean value \mu and the standard deviation \sigma. Since it's a symmetric function the values at the right side of the center value

The normal distribution is a function which integral cannot be expressed in terms of elemental functions. That is why the cumulative probability is usually found in tables, graphs or any digital media like Excel.

The formula NORM.DIST computes the cumulative values for the left tail or P( X < X_o) for a given mean and standard deviation. The parameters are

NORM.DIST (X_o,\mu,\sigma,cumulative)

This last parameter tells the formula we want the cumulative left-tail probability or just the value at Xo. This value must be set to TRUE to compute the probability for a range of values, like in the problem at hand.

Since the formula computes the left-tail of the function, we must take advantage of the symmetry of the distribution if we want to compute right-tail values we just subtract the result from 1.

Thus, the correct formula to calculate the required probability is

D. 1 – NORM.DIST(100, 75, 10, TRUE)

The vertices of a triangle are (-1.3) (-5,3) (-5,7) how would you reflect the triangle in the x-axis and in the y-axis ? Give th
grandymaker [24]
Simple way to see it is to multiply the value opposite of the axis you're flipping it over by -1. For example the point (-5,7) would become (5,7) when reflected over the y-axis, because the point is moving from the left to the right. This means the triangle would be (1,3) (5,3) and (5,7) when reflected over the y-axis. For reflection over the x-axis it would be (-1,-3) (-5,-3) and (-5,-7) because each point is moving down.

8 + 8( 8 - n ) = 40 + 8n
Ierofanga [76]

n=2

8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)

8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)

<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)

<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40

-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)

-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)

<u><em>n=2</em></u>
