the mpg (miles per gallon) of a certain compact car is normally distributed with a mean of 31 and a standard deviation of 1.2. what is the probability that the mpg for a randomly selected compact car would be more than 30?



Answer :

The probability that a compact car's randomly chosen mpg would be higher than 30 is 0.797.

Given data;

A certain compact car's mpg (miles per gallon) has a mean of 31 and a standard deviation of 1.2 and is regularly distributed.

We need to get the probability that the mpg for a randomly selected compact car would be more than 30.

Therefore;

Mean = μ = 31

Standard deviation = σ = 1.2

Let;

P(X > 30) = P(X - 31/1.2 > 30 - 31/1.2)

               = P(Z > -0.833)

               = 0.797

Hence, the probability that the mpg for a randomly selected compact car would be more than 30 is 0.797.
