A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20,000 miles orâ "you get a new set ofâ tires." In itsâ experience, a

set of these tires last on average 26,000 miles with SD 5,000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed. The manufacturer profits â$200 on each setâ sold, and replacing a set costs the manufacturer â$400. Complete parts a through c.

Answer:

Probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is 0.1151.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20,000 miles or "you get a new set of tires." In its past experience, a set of these tires last on average 26,000 miles with S.D. 5,000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed.

<em>Let X = wearing of tires</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=26,000,\sigma^{2}=5,000^{2})

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

         Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = average lasting of tires = 26,000 miles

            \sigma = standard deviation = 5,000 miles

So, probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is given by = P(X < 20,000 miles)

    P(X < 20,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{20,000-26,000}{5,000} ) = P(Z < -1.2) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.2)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.88493 = 0.1151

Therefore, probability that a set of tires wears out before 20,000 miles is 0.1151.

Okay so the equation. Lets say e is explorers and v is flying vs and m = money.

e + v > or = 30.

80e + 5v =m.
 
e < or = 20\
v < or = 20.
Okay, the most money he could make would be if he made 20 explorers at 80 dollars and 10 vs at 5 dollars.
Total money...
1600 + 50 = 1650.
So he could make $1650.
