In its Fuel Economy Guide for 2016 model vehicles, the Environmental Protection Agency gives data on 1170 vehicles. There are a number of high outliers, mainly hybrid gas-electric vehicles. If we ignore the vehicles identified as outliers, however, the combined city and highway gas mileage of the other 1146 vehicles is approximately Normal with mean 23.0 miles per gallon (mpg) and standard deviation 4.9 mpg. Exercises 3.35 through 3.38 concern this distribution 3.36: The top 15%. How high must a 2016 vehicle's gas mileage be to fall in the top 15% of all vehicles?

Over the first five years of owning her car, Gina drove about 12,700 miles the first year, 15,478 miles the second year, 12,675 the third year, 11,850 the fourth year, and 13,075 the fifth year. a. Find the mean, median, and mode of this data. b. Explain which measure of central tendency will best predict how many miles Gina will drive in the sixth year. a. mean= 12,700; median= 13,156; no mode; the mean is the best choice because it is representative of the entire data set. b. mean= 13,156; median= 12,700; mode= 3,628; the median is the best choice because it is not skewed by the high outlier. c. mean= 13,156; median= 12,700; no mode; the mean is the best choice because it is representative of the entire data set. d. mean= 13,156; median= 12,700; no mode; the median is the best choice because it is not skewed by the high outlier.
