The document discusses the fuel efficiency ratings of MG5 Sedan compact cars. It uses a normal distribution and z-scores to calculate: - 9% of cars will achieve over 25 km/L - 2.28% will achieve under 17 km/L - 94.52% will achieve between 15-24 km/L - 24.86% will achieve between 21-24 km/L It also states that for a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode all fall at the 50th percentile.

1. Road test of MG5 Sedan compact car show a fuel mean rating of 20
kilometers per liter in highways, with a standard deviation of 1.5 kilometers
per liter. What percentage of these cars (MG5) will achieve results of

a. More than 25 kilometers per liter?


b. Less than 17 kilometers per liter?
c. Between 15 and 24 kilometers per liter?
d. Between 21 and 24 kilometers per liter?

We can use the z-score formula to find the percentages for each scenario:

z-score = (x - mean) / standard deviation

a. To find the percentage of cars that achieve more than 25 kilometers per liter: z-score = (25 - 20) / 1.5 = 3.33

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find that the percentage of cars with a z-score greater than
3.33 is approximately 0.09 or 9%. Therefore, about 9% of the MG5 cars are expected to achieve more than 25 kilometers
per liter.

b. To find the percentage of cars that achieve less than 17 kilometers per liter: z-score = (17 - 20) / 1.5 = -2
Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find that the percentage of cars with a z-score less than -2
is approximately 0.0228 or 2.28%. Therefore, about 2.28% of the MG5 cars are expected to achieve less than 17 kilometers
per liter.

c. To find the percentage of cars that achieve between 15 and 24 kilometers per liter, we need to find the z-scores for each
value and use the standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the area between them:

z-score for 15 kilometers per liter: (15 - 20) / 1.5 = -3.33


z-score for 24 kilometers per liter: (24 - 20) / 1.5 = 2.67

Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find that the area between these z-scores is
approximately 0.9452 or 94.52%. Therefore, about 94.52% of the MG5 cars are expected to achieve between 15 and 24
kilometers per liter.

d. To find the percentage of cars that achieve between 21 and 24 kilometers per liter, we can find the z-scores for each
value and use the standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the area between them:
z-score for 21 kilometers per liter: (21 - 20) / 1.5 = 0.67
z-score for 24 kilometers per liter: (24 - 20) / 1.5 = 2.67

Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, we can find that the area between these z-scores is
approximately 0.2486 or 24.86%.

Therefore, about 24.86% of the MG5 cars are expected to achieve between 21 and 24 kilometers per liter.

2. On a normal distribution, at what percentage must


a. The mean fall?
b. The median fall?
c. The mode fall?
On a normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all equal. They are located at the center of the distribution,
which is also the peak of the bell curve.

Therefore, the mean, median, and mode all fall at the 50th percentile, or 50% of the distribution. This means that 50% of
the data falls below the mean/median/mode, and 50% falls above.
