The average fuel consumption of a car is 12 km per liter (per liter of gasoline used, the car travels 12 km). If the car spends 2 liters: (a) What is the probability that the car travels between 28 and 29 km? Use the proper distribution function that follows the gasoline consumption. b) what is the probability that the car travels between 28 and 29 km? Use the approximation to another distribution. Check first that you can apply the approximation
