Question 1168123
mean is 760 liters per household.
standard deviation is 150 liters liters per household.
z-score = (x -m) / s


in this problem:
m = 760
s = 150


when x = 570, the z-score will be (570 - 760) / 150 = -1.267.
this z-score indicates that approximately 10.56% of the households will use less than 570 liters of heating oil annually.


when x1 = 680 and x2 = 1130, z1 will be (680-760)/150 = -.533 and (1130-760)/150 = 2.47.
those z-scores indicate that approximately 69.62% of the households will use between 680 and 1130 liters of heating oil manually.


on the normal distribution graph, these statistics look like the following.


the first graph shows the probability that a randomly selected household will consume less than 570 liters of fuel annually.


the second graph shows the probability that a randomly selected household will consume between 680 and 1130 liters of fuel annually.
