Question

The advertised fuel economy of the 2020 Toyota Camry model with 4 cylinders and a 2.5 liter engine is 34 miles per gallon (mpg). The observed fuel economy among drivers of that vehicle is slightly lower. The distribution of those values is approximately normal with a mean mpg is 33.5. When a model of this vehicle is randomly selected, the probability that its mpg is 2.8 standard deviations above the mean is 0.39. Find the probability a randomly selected model of this vehicle has mpg 2.8 standard deviations below the mean. Express the answer as a decimal value rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Pay attention to the side of the diagram you make.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider,

X = fuel economy among drivers of that vehicle.

The distribution of those values is approximately normal with a mean mpg is 33.5

i.e X has Normal distribution with

mu = 33.5 and sigma is not given.

We have also given that,

      When a model of this vehicle is randomly selected, the probability that its mpg is 2.8 standard deviations above the mean is 0.39

     we have to find the probability a randomly selected model of this vehicle has mpg 2.8 standard deviations below the mean.
