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 =

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for the airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150 and 191 pounds. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 158 pounds and a standard deviation or 31.1 pounds. a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb. b. If 38 pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 150 lb and 191 lb. what is the approximate probability? c. When redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevant? part b because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important part b because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important Part a because the seat performance for a single pilot is more important part a because the seat performance for a sample of pilots is more important. please show solving steps and if possible tell me how to also get these answers through excel…
