t the standard deviation is 5000 miles and that tire mileage is normally distributed. To promote the new tire, Grear has offered to refund a portion of the purchase price if the tire fails to reach 30,000 miles before the tire needs to be replaced. Specifically, for tires with a lifetime below 30,000 miles, Grear will refund a customer $1 per 100 miles short of 30,000.

Answer:

$0.013

0.010724

Explanation:

Given that :

Mean, m = 36500

Standard deviation, s = 5000

Refund of $1 per 100 mile short of 30,000 miles

A.) Expected cost of the promotion :

P(X < 30,000)

Using the Zscore relation :

Zscore = (x - m) / s

Zscore = (30000 - 36500) / 5000

= - 6500 / 5000

= - 1.3

100 miles = $1

1.3 / 100 = $0.013

b. What is the probability that Grear will refund more than $50 for a tire?

100 miles = $1

$50 = (100 * 50) = 5000 miles

Hence, more than $50 means x < (30000 - 5000) = x < 25000 miles

P(x < 25000) :

(25000 - 36500) / 5000

-11500 / 5000

= - 2.3

P(z < - 2.3) = 0.010724 (Z probability calculator)
