The EPA fuel economy estimates for automobile models tested recently predicted a normal model with a mean of 24.8 mpg and a standard deviation of 6.2 mpg. If 2,000 cars are tested, how many would have a fuel economy between 18.6 mpg and 31.0 mpg?

The following data represents (hours past, bacteria present): (0,20), (1,40), (2, 75), (3,150), (4,297), (5,510). Which model is better, power or exponential? Explain your reasoning.
Exponential because the r^2 is closer to 1 than the r^2 value for the power model.

An unfair coin is weighted so that the probability of a head is 1/3 and the probability of a tail is 2/3. The coin is tossed seven times, and the outcome on each toss is independent of that on all of the other tosses. What is the probability of more than two tails?
95.47%
