The newest model of smart car is supposed to get excellent gas mileage. a thorough study showed that gas mileage (measured in miles per gallon) is normally distributed with a mean of 75 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 10 miles per gallon. what value represents the 50th percentile of this distribution?

75.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mean is 75 miles per gallon and the standard deviation is of 10 miles per gallon, it means that most values will fall between 65 and 85 miles.

The percentile 50 falls in the middle of this range, therefore, the value that represents the  50th percentile will be:

(65 +85) / 2 = 150 / 2 = 75.

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
