The US Environmental Protection Agency reports the average fuel costs for various makes of
cars. In recent years the fuel costs for mid‐size Japanese cars averaged $1200. Suppose that the
annual fuel costs for various makes of automobiles are normally distributed and that the
standard deviation of annual fuel costs for the mid‐size Japanese cars is $200. A mid‐size car
from the specified year is randomly selected from those that were sold. Answer the questions
below. It is strongly recommended that you do a sketch in each case to show the area(s) or
probability you are evaluating.
25. What is the probability that the annual fuel cost for a randomly selected car is greater
than $1000?
(a) 0.9323
(b) 0.8255
(c) 0.3413
(d) 0.8413
(e) 0.2823
26. What is the probability that the annual fuel cost is less than $1050?
(a) 0.2946
(b) 0.2734
(c) 0.7734
(d) 0.2266
(e) 0.0823

(a) 0.0987
(b) 0.4013
(c) 0.9010
(d) 0.9013
(e) 0.5261

(a) 0.0908
(b) 0.0517
(c) 0.1480
(d) 0.0963
(e) 0.4261
31. Suppose that the standard deviation of the fuel cost is unknown. If 80% of all mid‐size
cars of that year had an annual fuel cost greater than $1030, what would be the value of
standard deviation if the mean fuel cost is $1200?
(a) 231.70
(b) 200.00
(c) 202.38
(d) 230.00
(e) 235.09
32. Suppose that the average annual fuel cost is unknown. What is the value of the mean
annual fuel cost for the mid‐size cars if 30.5% of the annual fuel costs are less than $1100
when the standard deviation is $200.
(a) 1100.70
(b) 1205.00
(c) 1202.00
(d) 1788.00
(e) 1235.09
