Ford and GM pick up trucks are being tested for fuel efficiency, which is commonly measured in miles per gallon (mpg). The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg. The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg. Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

The fuel efficiency of Ford trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 20 mpg and a standard deviation of 3 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{F} = 20, \sigma_{F} = 3[/tex]

The fuel efficiency of GM trucks is found to follow a normal distribution with mean 24 mpg and standard deviation of 4 mpg.

This means that [tex]\mu_{G} = 24, \sigma_{G} = 4[/tex]

Compute the probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

This is the probability that the subtraction of ford by gm is less than 0. First, we find the mean and the standard deviation.

[tex]\mu = \mu_{F} - \mu_{G} = 20 - 24 = -4[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{F}^2+\sigma_{G}^2} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = 5[/tex]

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - (-4)}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.8[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7881

0.7881 = 78.81% probability that a randomly chosen Ford truck outperforms a randomly chosen GM truck in terms of fuel efficiency

If 3/4 of the class likes soda and 3/5 of those who like soda prefer Coke, what PERCENT of the whole class that likes Coke?

Answers

Answer:

For soda =3/4

(a) Use the verbal description to write a verbal model.
o change in price = (original price)/(percent)
o change in price = (percent)(original price)
O change in price = (percent) - (original price)
o change in price = (original price) + (percent)
O change in price = (percent)/(original price)

Answers

Answer:

this is an example

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few different ways to approach this problem, including the following two methods.

 

1) Find 20% of the original price, then subtract that amount from the original price. 

    To find a percentage of a number, you multiply the number by the percentage.  (You are finding a part of a whole.)

    

                   20% = 20/100 = 1/5    or   20% = 0.20

 

    Original Price: $24   Find 20% of $24.                         (Note: "of" is taking part of a whole, so you multiply.)

                

                    0.20 x 24 = 4.80            This is the mark down, or the amount you subtract from original price.

   

    Sale Price = Original Price - Mark Down   

                   =   24.00 - 4.80

                   =   19.20

 

2) If you save 20%, you are still paying 80%. (100-20 = 80) Therefore the sale price is 80% of the original price.

 

                    80% = 80/100 = 4/5     or    80% = 0.80

 

     Sale Price = 80% of Original Price

                    = 0.80 x 24

                    = 19.20

Answers

Answer:

The cost per pound of the ham is $5.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4kg ham cost $13/kg, in order to find the cost per pound the following calculation has to be made:

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

2.20462 = 13

1 = X

((1 x 13) / 2.20462) = X

13 / 2.20462 = X

5.89 = X

Therefore, the cost per pound of the ham is $5.89.

The area of the white square is 64 square units. The diagonal of the square was extended to point A until the length of segment AB was double the length of the diagonal of the square. What is the area of the gray part?

Answers

Answer:

Area of the gray region = 64 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the white square = 64 square units

Length of a side of the given square = [tex]\sqrt{\text{Area}}[/tex]

                                                             = [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex]

                                                             = 8 units

By Pythagoras theorem,

Length of diagonal DB = [tex]\sqrt{BC^2+CD^2}[/tex]

DB = [tex]\sqrt{8^2+8^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]8\sqrt{2}[/tex]

AD = DB = [tex]8\sqrt{2}[/tex] [Given]

OD = OC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(DB)[/tex]

               = 4√2

Therefore, AO = AD + OD = 8√2 + 4√2

                                           = 12√2

Area of ΔACD = Area of ΔAOC - Area of ΔCOD

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(AO)(OC)-\frac{1}{2}(CO)(OD)[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[(12\sqrt{2}\times 4\sqrt{2})-(4\sqrt{2})^2][/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[96-32][/tex]

                        = 32

Therefore, area of gray part = Area of ΔACD + Area of ΔAED

                                               = 32 + 32

                                               = 64 square units

In 1976, a certain model of car cost $5,000. What would be the cost of that car in 2012 dollars? Express your answer rounded to the nearest cent

Answers

Answer:

The cost of that car in 2012 dollars is $20,755

Step-by-step explanation:

We take a look at inflation values of the dollar to solve this question.

100 dollars in 1976 are equivalent to 469.48 dollars in 2021.

100 dollars in 2012 are worth 113 dollars today.

So, to find the 2012 equivalent, we divide 469.48 by 113/100 = 1.13. So

469.48/1.13 = 415.5.

That is, 100 dollars in 1976 are equivalent to 415.5 dollars in 2012, that is, 1 dollar in 1976 was worth 4.155 dollars in 2012.

In 1976, a certain model of car cost $5,000. What would be the cost of that car in 2012 dollars?

Multiplying by 4.155

5000*4.155 = 20,755

The cost of that car in 2012 dollars is $20,755

Cash is always king. It will cost you more if you pay interest, but you may not have enough money to buy this very over priced $13,499 TV. I say shop around for a cheaper TV.

If I were the buyer, I would prefer cash payments to paying in instalment.

In order to determine which payment method I would prefer, I would have to determine the future value of the payment in instalment terms.

The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
