At one point the average price of regular unleaded gasoline was ​$3.43 per gallon. Assume that the standard deviation price per

gallon is ​$0.07 per gallon and use​ Chebyshev's inequality to answer the following. ​(a) What percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 4 standard deviations of the​ mean? ​(b) What percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 1.5 standard deviations of the​ mean? What are the gasoline prices that are within 1.5 standard deviations of the​ mean? ​(c) What is the minimum percentage of gasoline stations that had prices between ​$3.22 and ​$3.64​?

Answer:

(a) The percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 4 standard deviations of the​ mean is 93.75%.

(b) The percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 1.5 standard deviations of the​ mean is 55.56%. The prices for this stations goes from $3.325 to $3.535.

(c) The minimum percentage of stations that had prices between ​$3.22 and ​$3.64 is 88.88%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's inequality states that at least 1-(1/K^2) of data from a sample must fall within K standard deviations from the mean, being K any positive real number greater than one.

It can be expressed as

P(|X-\mu| \geq k\sigma)\leq \frac{1}{k^2}

In this problem, we have, for the gasoline price, a normal distribution with mean of 3.43 and standar deviation of 0.07.

(a) The percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 4 standard deviations of the​ mean is equal to <em>one less the percentage of gasoline stations that had prices out of 4 standard deviations of the​ mean:</em>

P(|X-\mu| \leq k\sigma)=1-P(|X-\mu| \leq k\sigma) \\\\1-P(|X-\mu| \leq k\sigma) \geq 1-\frac{1}{k^2} \\\\1-P(|X-\mu| \leq 4\sigma) \geq 1-\frac{1}{4^2}\\\\1-P(|X-\mu| \leq 4\sigma) \geq 1-1/16\\\\1-P(|X-\mu| \leq 4\sigma) \geq 0.9375

The percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 4 standard deviations of the​ mean is 93.75%.

(b) The percentage of gasoline stations had prices within 1.5 standard deviations of the​ mean is 55.56%.

P(|X-\mu| \leq k\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{k^2}\\\\P(|X-\mu| \leq 1.5\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{1.5^2}\\\\P(|X-\mu| \leq 1.5\sigma)\geq 0.5556\\

The prices for this stations goes from $3.325 to $3.535.

X=\mu\pm 1.5\sigma=3.43\pm 1.5*0.07=3.43 \pm 0.105\\\\X_{upper} =3.43+0.105=3.535\\X_{lower}=3.43-0.105=3.325

(c) To answer, we have to calculate k for this range of prices:

x=\mu\pm k\sigma\\\\k=\frac{|x-\mu|}{\sigma} =\frac{|3.64-3.43|}{0.07}=\frac{0.21}{0.07}=  3

For k=3, the Chebyshev's inequality states:

P(|X-\mu| \leq 3\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{3^2}\\\\P(|X-\mu| \leq 3\sigma)\geq 0.8889

So, the minimum percentage of stations that had prices between ​$3.22 and ​$3.64 is 88.88%.

Answer:

<h2><em><u>11.2 - B to C</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>12 - B to A</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>8.8 - A to C</u></em></h2>

You have to multiply all the sides by 4.

B to C = 2.8*4

2.8 * 4 = 11.2

B to A = 3*4

3*4 = 12

A to C = 2.2*4

2.2*4 = 8.8

Hope this helped!

Answer:

  Either of ...

  • (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)
  • Rotation 180° about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

There are at least two ways to express the transformation that maps each coordinate to its opposite.

  1. reflection across the origin: (x, y) ⇒ (-x,-y)

  2. rotation 180° (either direction) about the origin.

Take your pick.
