Question

Studies show that gasoline use for compact cars sold in the United States is normally distributed, with a mean of 25.5 miles per gallon (mpg) and a standard deviation of 4.5 mpg. If a person buys a compact without any knowledge of the gas milage, what is the probability it will get between 28 and 35 mpg? Your answer should include a rough sketch of the graph for this scenario.
