The tread life of a particular brand of tire is a random variable best described by a normal distribution with a mean of 60,000 miles and a standard deviation of 1100 miles. What warranty should the company use if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty? Round the answer to the nearest whole number

61,925 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The p-value of the tires to outlast the were warranty were given in the the question as = 0.96

Checking the normal distribution table, The probability that corresponds to 0.96

from the Normal distribution table is 1.75.

Mean : 'μ'= 60000 miles

Standard deviation : σ=1100

The formula for z-score is given by

: z= (x-μ)/σ

1.75=(x-60000)/1100

1925=x-60000

x=61925

Therefore, the tread life of tire should be 61,925 miles if they want 96% of the tires to outlast the warranty.

question is incomplete.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
