The average number of miles driven on a full tank of gas in a certain model car before its low-fuel light comes on is 341. Assume this mileage follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 39 miles. Must show ALL calculations by use of formulas ONLY, no Excel use.
Complete parts a through d below.
a. What is the probability that, before the low-fuel light comes on, the car will travel less than 369 miles on the next tank of gas?
b. What is the probability that, before the low-fuel light comes on, the car will travel more than 248 miles on the next tank of gas?
c. What is the probability that, before the low-fuel light comes on, the car will travel between 259 and 279 miles on the next tank of gas?
d. What is the probability that, before the low-fuel light comes on, the car will travel exactly 279 miles on the next tank of gas?

The average gas mileage of a certain model car is 28.0 miles per
gallon. If the gas mileages are normally distributed with a
standard deviation of 0.4 miles per gallon, find the probability
that a car has a gas mileage of between 26.8 and 27.2 miles per
gallon. In addition to the answer, please write out
your steps and thoughts that led you to your answer.

Miles driven by millennials. In 2009, the number of miles driven
per year by persons aged 16–34 was 7,900. Assume that the number of
miles driven was decreasing by 300 miles per year.
a. Model this information with a linear equation.
b. Use this model to predict how many miles persons aged 16–34
will drive per year in 2019.
c. Explain why this model would not be expected to hold in
2030.

1. A certain town has 9,000 families.Population average mileage
driven per family is 15,000 miles per year and the population SD is
2,000 miles per year. Fifteen percent of these families have no
cars at all. As part of an opinion survey, a simple random sample
of 900 families (from this town) is chosen. What is the chance that
sample average mileage driven per family is between 14,950 and
15,100 miles per year? Use the normal approximation method with
continuity...

the average annual miles driven per vehicle in the United States
is 11.1 thousand miles, with σ ≈ 600 miles. Suppose that a random
sample of 36 vehicles owned by residents of Chicago showed that the
average mileage driven last year was 10.8 thousand miles. Does this
indicate that the average miles driven per vehicle in Chicago is
different from the national average? Use a 5% level of
significance.

The Indiana State Police union is interested in whether the
number of miles driven by each trooper is the same or different for
the three different 8-hour shifts. Twenty Indiana state troopers
were selected randomly selected on each of the three shifts and the
number of miles that they traveled was recorded.
a) Is this an observational or an experimental
study? Please explain your answer.
b) What is the population in this study?
20 Indiana troopers in each shift.

According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, the mean
number of miles driven annually is 12,200 with a standard deviation
of 3800 miles. A resident of the state of Montana believes the
drivers in Montana drive more than the national average. She
obtains a random sample of 35 drivers from a list of registered
drivers in the state and finds the mean number of miles driven
annually for these drivers to be 12,895.90. Is there sufficient
evidence to show that...

In the past few weeks we have learned that the number of miles
driven has fallen due to people staying at home during the
coronavirus pandemic. Insurers are offering auto insurance rebates
to policyholders due to the decrease in number of miles driven. New
research however indicates that this does not tell the entire
driving story.
Although miles driven and traffic congestion are falling, both
the accident rate and severity of accidents seems to be
rising. Please explain what’s happening...

A leasing firm claims that the mean number of miles driven
annually, μ, in its leased cars is less than 12700 miles. A random
sample of 25 cars leased from this firm had a mean of 12031 annual
miles driven. It is known that the population standard deviation of
the number of miles driven in cars from this firm is 2800 miles.
Assume that the population is normally distributed. Is there
support for the firm's claim at the 0.01 level...
