Answer:
y=29*x
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is a linear function problem. We need at least two points to solve it. After finding two points we will compute the slope and then us the point-slope formula.
If you put 11 gallons of gasoline in your car it will allow you to drive 319 miles, this means that when x= 11 then, y=319. So the first point is (11,319). For the second point you now that if you have no gallons of gasoline then you won't be able to drive so, the second point is (0,0).
Now that we have to points we are able to compute the slope. The formula for the slope is:
.
this way

.
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope formula to get the equation. The point-slope formula is:
(here it doesn't matter which point you use, you will get the same result).
Substituting the point (11,319) and the slope:
And we finaly get the equation!
Using the normal distribution, it is found that:
a) The pilot is at the 72th percentile.
b) 19.13% of pilots are unable to fly.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:
.
Item a:
The percentile is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 74.2</u>, hence:
Z = 0.59
Z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224.
72th percentile.
Item b:
The proportion that is able to fly is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 78 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 70</u>, hence:
X = 78:
Z = 2
Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.
X = 70:
Z = -0.96
Z = -0.96 has a p-value of 0.1685.
0.9772 - 0.1685 = 0.8087 = 80.87%.
Hence the percentage that is unable to fly is:
100 - 80.87 = 19.13%.
