A new car that is a gas- and electric-powered hybrid has recently hit the market. The distance travelled on 1 gallon of fuel is

normally distributed with a mean of 50 miles and a standard deviation of 8 miles. Find the z-score, to two decimal places and probability, two four decimals, of the following events: A. The car travels more than 53 miles per gallon. ZZ = PP = B. The car travels less than 42 miles per gallon. ZZ = PP = C. The car travels between 44 and 55 miles per gallon. Z1Z1 = Z2Z2 = PP =

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance travelled on 1 gallon of fuel is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the distance travelled.

µ = mean distance

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 50 miles

σ = 8 miles

A) P(x > 53) = 1 - P(x ≤ 53)

For x = 53,

z = (53 - 50)/8 = 0.38

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.648

B) P(x < 42)

For x = 42

z = (42 - 50)/8 = - 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.1587

C) P(44 ≤ x ≤ 53)

For x = 44

z = (44 - 50)/8 = - 0.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.2266

For x = 55,

z = (55 - 50)/8 = 0.63

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.7357

Therefore,

P(44 ≤ x ≤ 53) = 0.7357 - 0.2266 = 0.5091

Suppose that you randomly draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. After writing down which card was drawn, you replace t
34kurt

Answer:

The probability is 0.0775

The expected value is 4.75 clubs

The standard deviation is 1.8875 clubs

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X follows a binomial distribution, because we have n identical and independent events (19 cards) with a probability p of success and 1-p of fail (there is a probability of 1/4 to be club and 3/4 to be diamond, heart or spade). Then, the probability that x of the n cards are club is:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(x)=\frac{19!}{x!(19-x)!}*0.25^{x}*(0.75)^{19-x}

So, the probability P of drawing at least 8 clubs is:

P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) + ... + P(18) + P(19)

Replacing, the values of x, from 8 to 19, on the equation above, we get:

P = 0.0775

Additionally, the expected value E(x) and standard deviationS(x) for this distribution is given by:

E(x)=np = 19(0.25) = 4.75

S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)} =\sqrt{19(0.25)(0.75)} =1.8875
