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 60 miles and a standard deviation of 8 miles. Find the probability of the following events: A. The car travels more than 66 miles per gallon. Probability = B. The car travels less than 55 miles per gallon. Probability = C. The car travels between 57 and 67 miles per gallon. Probability =
