ford.com/trucks). Assume the mean stated by Ford is the actual average, and the distribution has a standard deviation of 3 mpg.
a. Given the above mean and standard deviation, what is the probability that 100 drivers will average more than 19.2 miles per gallon?
b. Suppose 1,000 drivers were randomly selected.
