Respuesta :

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.35 and $3.55 per gallon is 64%

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for between $3.35 and $3.65 per gallon is 81.5%

The percentage of regular grade gasoline sells for less than $3.55 per gallon is 84%

Given :

Mean retail price is $3.45

Standard deviation is 0.10

Empirical rule states that 99.7% of data is observed in normal distribution that lies within 3 standard deviations.

68% of data lies under 1 standard deviation

95% lies under 2 standard deviations

99.7% lies under 3 standard deviations

there are 3 standard deviations on the left and right of mean . The graph is attached below

Mean is 3.45. standard deviation is 0.1

3.45+0.1=3.55

3.45-0.1=3.35

So 3.35  and 3.55 lies under first standard deviation

The percentage between $3.35 and $3.55 is 68%

3.45 +0.1+0.1=3.65

3.35 lies on 1 standard deviation on left and 2 deviations on the right of mean

So , 34+34+13.5=81.5%

The percentage between $3.35 and $3.65 is 81.5%

For gasoline sells for less than 3.55 , there are 3 standard deviation on the left of mean and 1 standard deviation on the right

0.15+2.35+13.5+34+34=84%
