A new gas- and electric-powered hybrid car has recently hit the market. The distance traveled on 1 gallon of fuel is normally di

stributed with a mean of 65 miles and a standard deviation of 4 miles. Find the probability of the following events.
a. The car travels more than 70 miles per gallon.

b. The car travels less than 60 miles per gallon.

c. The car travels between 55 and 70 miles per gallon.

Answer:

a) P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)  P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038   or  10.38 %

c)  P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8882   or 88.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution  μ = 65    and σ = 4

a) The probability of the car travels more than 70 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z > 70 ]  =  (Z-μ) ÷ σ  ⇒   P [ Z > 70 ] = (70-65) ÷4     P [ Z > 70 ] = 1.25

the point 1.25 corresponds at values, from left tail up to 70 so we must go and look for the area for the point 1.24 which is 0.8925. Then we have the area or probability of all cars traveling up  to 70 miles therefore  we have to subtract 1 -0,8925

P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)The probability of the car travels less than 60 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z < 60 ]  = ( 60 - μ ) ÷  σ ⇒  P [ Z < 60 ] = (60-65)÷ 4    P [ Z < 60 ] = -1.25

Again -1.25 corresponds to 60 miles per gallon threfore we move to the left and find for point -1.26  which area is 0.1038 so

P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038     10.38 %

c) P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70]

For  point  Z = 70 or 1.25 (case a above)  P [ Z ≤ 70] = (70-65)÷4  

P [ Z ≤ 70] = 1.25

In this case we got the whole area from the left tail up to 1.25

P [ Z ≤ 70]  = 0.8944 (includes the area of the point from the left tail up to the point assocciated to 55 miles and for that reason we have to subtract that area)

P [ Z ≥ 55 ]  = (55-65) ÷ 4     P [ Z ≥ 55 ] = -2.5  and the area is 0.0062

So P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8944 - 0.0062  = 0.8882

5. Each pair of polygons below are similar. Show your work! Solve for x:
Stella [2.4K]
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).

If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.

18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.

You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.

14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7

(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)

A study claims that the combination of vitamin C with vitamin E is more effective for preventing the flu than vitamin C alone. I
victus00 [196]

1) In this study, the control group is the first group of 310 subjects that were instructed to take only 600 mg daily of vitamin C. (Option C; that is, group 1).

2) The study is not Blind (Option C).

In an experimental setup to test a theory, A control group is the set of experimental participants that the theory to be tested isn't applied upon.

In the case of testing a new treatment, the control group is the group that the new treatment isn't administered.

For this question, the experiment was set up to test the effectiveness of a combination of vitamin A and vitamin E in treating flu cases rather than using vitamin C alone. Group A is the only group that only the old treatment alone is applied to; group 1 participants received no dosage of the new combination of treatments to be tested involving vitamins A and E, unlike the two other groups.

It is obvious now why the experimental participants of group 1 are the control group.

2) A blind experiment/study is one in which the participants don't know which group they belong to, whether they are in the control group or the other experimental group. Like in this case, if this was a blind study, the participants wouldn't know which group they belonged to or which treatment is administered to them.

A double-blind experiment/study is one in which both the conductors of the experiment and the participants in the experiment wouldn't know which group any participant is in. The conductors wouldn't know which participants were in the control or treatment group and the participants too wouldn't have an idea whether they are in the control or treatment group.
