Suppose you buy a new car whose advertised mileage is 23 miles per gallon​ (mpg). After driving your car for several​ months, yo

u find that its mileage is 19.4 mpg. You telephone the manufacturer and learn that the standard deviation of gas mileages for all cars of the model you bought is 1.07 mpg.
A. Find the​ z-score for the gas mileage of your​ car, assuming the advertised claim is correct.
B. Does it appear that your car is getting unusually low gas​mileage?

A.

mu = population mean = advertised mean = 23

x = raw score = 19.4

sigma = population standard deviation = 1.07

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (19.4 - 23)/1.07

z = -3.36448598130841

z = -3.36

=======================================

B.

The general rule is that if -2 \le z \le 2, then the z score is not unusual. Otherwise, it is unusual.

Since z = -3.36 falls outside the range, the car is getting unusually low gas mileage.

Answer:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value above x is:

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}

The uniform distribution is a continuous distribution, which means that the probability of an exact outcome is zero.

Uniformly distributed between 3 and 12 minutes.

This means that a = 3, b = 12

What is the probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store?

Continuous distribution, so:

0% probability that a customer will be exactly 7.50 minutes in the record store.

Which statement is an example of the Addition Property of Equality? (1 point). . If p = q then p • s = q • s .. If p = q then p
atroni [7]
The formal name for the property of equality that allows one to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation. This is one of the most commonly used properties for solving equations.

The formula tells us that if a = b, then a + c = b + c. The letters a and b stand for two separate numbers, our two twins, and the letter c stands for what we give to each twin to keep them matching. So, for example, if we add 1 to the left side of the equation, we must also add 1 to the right side of the equation. By doing this, we keep the equation, the twins, the same.

Answer: correct choice is B.
