A trucking company determined that the distance traveled per truck per year is normally distributed, with a mean of 60 thousand miles and a standard deviation of 10 thousand miles. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a. What proportion of trucks can be expected to travel between 48 and 60 thousand miles in a year?
b. What percentage of trucks can be expected to travel either less than 40 or more than 75 thousand miles in a year?
c. How many miles will be traveled by at least 85% of the trucks?
d. What are your answers to parts (a) through (c) if the standard deviation is 8 thousand miles? I
f the standard deviation is 8 thousand miles, the proportion of trucks that can be expected to travel between 48 and 60 thousand miles in a year is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
If the standard deviation is 8 thousand miles, the percentage of trucks that can be expected to travel either less than 40 or more than 75 thousand miles in a year is . (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
If the standard deviation is 8 thousand miles, the number of miles that will be traveled by at least 85% of the trucks is . (Round to the nearest mile as needed.)
