A large amount of price data on used car sales of a particular popular car model and year was compiled and the investigators concluded that sales price was normally distributed with a mean of $17,500 and a standard deviation of $4500. Assume this is true.

What fraction of car sales were at prices less than $14,500?

What fraction of car sales were between $12,000 and $14,500?

Could you please show work?

Solutions

Expert Solution

µ = 17500

sd = 4500

a)

                                    

                                     = P(Z < -0.67)

                                     = 0.2514

b)

                                                       

                                                        = P(-1.22 < Z < -0.67)

                                                        = P(Z < -0.67) - P(Z < -1.22)

                                                        = 0.2514 - 0.1112

                                                        = 0.1402

The following linear regression model can be used to predict ticket sales at a popular water park (the correlation is significant). Ticket sales per hour = -631.25 + 11.25(current temperature in °F) Choose the statement that best reflects the meaning of the slope in this context. Group of answer choices The slope is slippery. The slope tells us that a one degree increase in temperature is associated with an average increase in ticket sales of 11.25 tickets. The slope tells...
