Answer:
This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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:
All he knows is that, for a large number of tires tested, the mean mileage was 25,000 miles, and the standard deviation was 4000 miles. This means that .
A manufacturer of tires wants to advertise a mileage interval that ex-cludes no more than 10% of the mileage on tires he sells. What interval wouldyou suggest?
The lower end of this interval is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.90. That is .
So
This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.
Here's a picture of the problem
