well, we know the pants are 25% off, that means the current sale price is only 75% of the original price, say the original price is "x" or 100%. So we know that $24.60 is 75%, what is the 100%?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 24.6&75\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{24.6}{x}=\cfrac{75}{100}\implies \cfrac{24.6}{x}=\cfrac{3}{4} \\\\\\ 98.4=3x \implies \cfrac{98.4}{3}=x\implies 32.8=x$

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand 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 $\mu$ 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
