Answer: 14 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation: For the fractions, find a common denominator, which would be 10. To get 1/5 to have a denominator of 10, multiply each number by 2. You would get 2/10. 7 gallons fills his tank from 2/10 to 7/10. Subtract the two fractions.

7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10.

7 gallons filled his tank half way. We are trying to find the amount to fill his tank all the way. So multiply 7 by 2.

7 x 2 = 14

14 gallons of gas will fill his tank all the way.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

0.227 = 22.7% probability that the mean printing speed of the sample is greater than 18.12 ppm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

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

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
