You can arrange the books 3,628,800 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can imagine that the shelf has 10 "slots" where you can place a book. Each slot can take 1 of the 10 books. However, after you have placed 1 book, there are only 9 possible books to place. After 2 have been placed, there are only 8 possible.
Going left-to-right, the first slot has 10 available books.
Total combinations: 10
The 2nd slot has 9 available books.
Total combinations: 10 * 9
The 3rd slot has 8 available books.
Total combinations: 10 * 9 * 8
This continues for all 10 slots.
Eventually, for slot 10, there is only 1 book possible.
Total combinations: 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
Multiply all numbers between 10 and 1 with each other is also known as "10 factorial" or "10!"
Thus, the total number of combinations is:

Answer:
89.97% probability that the average of these 100 tires will last greater than 41,000 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solve this problem, it is important to know 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 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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that the average of these 100 tires will last greater than 41,000 miles?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 41000.
By the Central Limit Theorem, we use s instead of .
has a pvalue of 0.1003.
So there is a 1-0.1003 = 0.8997 = 89.97% probability that the average of these 100 tires will last greater than 41,000 miles.
