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. The 2016 Volkswagen Beetle with a four‑cylinder 1.8‑L engine and automatic transmission has combined gas mileage of 28 mpg. Find the percentage of 2016 vehicles that have better gas mileage than the Beetle's gas mileage. (Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationwide assessment of students' proficiency in nine subjects: mathematics, reading, writing, science, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. The main NAEP assessments are conducted annually on samples of students from grades 4, 8, and 12. Suppose in 2001, the geography scores for male students had a mean of 264 with a standard deviation of 34. Assume that these scores are normally distributed with the given mean and standard deviation. The normal curve representing this distribution of the scores is symmetrical about a vertical line through The value 162 is under the curve between 162 and 366 is approximately below the mean, and the value 366 is Similarly, 95.44% of the male students scored between and above the mean.

In a study examining the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and academic achievement among high school students, the researchers collected data on 500 students from varying SES backgrounds. The SES was categorized into low, medium, and high. The academic achievement was measured using GPA scores. The following descriptive statistics were obtained: Mean GPA for low SES students: 2.8 Standard deviation of GPA for low SES students: 0.5 Mean GPA for medium SES students: 3.5 Standard deviation of GPA for medium SES students: 0.3 Mean GPA for high SES students: 4.0 Standard deviation of GPA for high SES students: 0.2 a) Calculate the coefficient of variation for each SES group and interpret the results.
