The tread life of tires mounted on light-duty trucks follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of 60,000 miles and

a standard deviation of 4,000 miles. Suppose you bought a set of four tires, what is the likelihood the mean tire life of these four tires is between 57,000 and 63,000 miles

Answer:

86.64% probability that the mean tire life of these four tires is between 57,000 and 63,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 60000, \sigma = 4000, n = 4, s = \frac{4000}{\sqrt{4}} = 2000

Suppose you bought a set of four tires, what is the likelihood the mean tire life of these four tires is between 57,000 and 63,000 miles

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 63000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 57000. So

X = 63000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{63000 - 60000}{2000}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

X = 57000

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{57000 - 60000}{2000}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.9332 - 0.0668 = 0.8664

86.64% probability that the mean tire life of these four tires is between 57,000 and 63,000 miles

a.) Initial cost of renting the car is $100

b.) rate of change is slope, that is :

  • \dfrac{105 - 100}{100 - 0}

  • \dfrac{5}{100}

  • \dfrac{1}{20}

  • 0.05

c.) Cost = C and distance = d

the equation will be :

  • C =  \dfrac{d}{20}  + 100
