Question

1. Studies show that gasoline use for cars is normally distributed, with a mean of 25.5 miles per gallon (mpg) and a standard deviation of 4.5 mpg. What percentage of compacts get A. 30 mpg or more? B. between 20 and 28? C. less than 24 mpg? 2. An electrical firm manufactures incandescent light bulbs that have a length of life (in hours) that is normally distributed. If the mean and standard deviation length of life of all lightbulbs produced are 1250 hours and 300 hours respectively, find the probability that a randomly selected bulb will last less than 1100 hours.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
