Answer:

The manufacturer should announce a guaranteed mileage of 44528 miles

Explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 47900, \sigma = 2050

What guaranteed mileage should the manufacturer announce

Only until the 5th percentile will have to be replaced, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So it is X when Z = -1.645.

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 47900}{2050}

X - 47900 = -1.645*2050

X = 44528

The manufacturer should announce a guaranteed mileage of 44528 miles

If Agatha has worked for ten years in the public relations department of a large firm. she has been promoted to several higher paying managerial positions, but never to an executive position, even though she has directed several successful projects for the firm, her lack of promotion most likely illustrates the glass ceiling. It is the barrier that keeps women and young people in achieving high positions.
