The ACME Stinker was an automobile that is no longer in production. Whendriven in city traffic, the nitrogen oxide levels it emitted adhered approximately toa normal distribution with mean 2.1 grams per mile and standard deviation 0.3grams per mile.a. By EPA mandate, nitrogen oxide levels were not to exceed 2.7 grams permile. About what proportion of Stinkers were in violation?b. At most 25% of Stinkers exceeded what nitrogen oxide level?c. ACME was forced to reduce the nitrogen oxide emissions level so that nomore than 1% of Stinkers exceeded 2.7 grams per mile. If the standarddeviation remained at 0.3 grams per mile, to what value did the meanemissions level have to be reduced?

b. At most 25% of Stinkers exceeded what nitrogen oxide level?
c. ACME was forced to reduce the nitrogen oxide emissions level so that no
more than 1% of Stinkers exceeded 2.7 grams per mile. If the standard
deviation remained at 0.3 grams per mile, to what value did the mean
