Answer:

11 gallons of gas is needed to travel 231 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion for this problem.

<em>For every 62 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas. </em>

$\frac{62}{3}*\frac{231}{?}$

Now, let's cross multiply.

$\frac{693}{62}$ ≈ $11$

So, you will need about 11 gallons of gas to travel 231 miles.

The tread life of tires mounted on light-duty trucks follows the normal probability distribution with a population mean of 60,00

qwelly [4]

Answer:

$S.E=1183.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population mean $\mu=60000$

Population standard deviation $\sigma= 14,000 miles.$

Sample size $n=140$

Generally the equation for Standard error is mathematically given by

$S.E=\frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt n}$

$S.E= \frac{14000}{\sqrt 140}$

$S.E=1183$
