Answer:
The probability the average mpg is less than 28 mpg is 0.8413.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The manufacturer of a new compact car claims the miles per gallon (mpg) for the gasoline consumption is approximately normal with
Mean mpg and standard deviation
mpg.
Number of sample n=36
To find : What is the probability the average mpg is less than 28 mpg?
Solution :
Applying z-score formula,
The portability is given by,
Using z-table,
Therefore, the probability the average mpg is less than 28 mpg is 0.8413.
You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.
What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.
Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.
The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.
So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).
Numerator:
= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)
= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)
= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3
= (x -3)(x - 19)
Denominator:
Now we put the pieces together.
Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)
