The number of miles my car can go on a gallon of gasoline is normally distributed with a mean of 30 miles and a standard deviation of 4 miles. i currently have exactly one gallon in my tank, and have to travel 35 miles to my destination.
1. what is the probability i make it to my destination before i run out of gas?
2. find the distance d so that i have a 90% chance of traveling d miles before running out of gas (assuming again that i start with one gallon).

Carla was trying to decide what to do saturday evening. she has $100 available to spend for the evening. she has narrowed her choices down to these events: braves game, a concert of an artist she likes, or the georgia aquarium. admission to the braves game is $25, hot dogs cost $10, sodas cost $5. the concert costs $25 for admission, $20 for a souvernir t-shirt, and $10 for a soda. the georgia aquarium has the show of a lifetime with an all you can eat and drink that costs $100. carla does not want to take any driving chances, so in addition to the cost of the aquarium, she will also need to pay for her uber/lyft, which is $15 each way. which option should carla choose if she wants to spend the least? based on that choice, what then is carla's oppotunity cost? fully explain your answer in at least one paragraph.
