Answer:

a. 0.38%

b. 266.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data, mean (m) 269 and standard deviation (sd) 15, therefore:

a. The first thing is to calculate the number z:

z (x) = (x - m) / sd

z (309) = (309-269) / 15 = 2.67

When looking in the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at this value of z, the probability is:

P (z> 2.67), that is to say we must look in the table -2.67 and this value corresponds to 0.0038, that is to say 0.38%

b. Find the z-value with a left tail of 44%, i.e. 0.44. We look in the table for this value and what value of z corresponds.

invNorm (0.44) = -0.15

Find the corresponding number of days:

x = z * sd + m

we replace

d = -0.15 * 15 + 269 = 266.75 days

alex41 [277]
The answer to this question is the letter "A" which is $20.70. The solution is shown below:

If the guy will solely use the car, his expenses for the gasoline per month is:
Guy alone = $ 2.76/gallon * 15 gallons = $ 41.4
 
If the guy will let his two officemates ride the car and contribute each quarter of the of a tank:
First officemate = 15/4 * $2.76 = $ 10.35
 Second officemate = 15/4 * $2.76 = $10.35

The guy total savings is shown below:
Total savings = $41.4 - $10.35 -$10.35
Total savings = $20.70

The answer is the letter "A".
