Given that in a national highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report, data provided to the NHTSA by Goodyear stated that the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles. Suppose that the current distribution of tread life of properly inflated automobile tires is normally distributed with mean of 45,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2360 miles.

Part A:

Find the probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life between 42,000 and 46,000 miles.
The probability that a normally distributed data set with a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is between two numbers, a and b is given by:
$P(a \ \textless \ X \ \textless \ b) = P(X \ \textless \ b) - P(X \ \textless \ a) \\ \\ P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$
Given that the the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles a standard deviation of 2360 miles.
The probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life between 42,000 and 46,000 miles is given by:
$P(42,000 \ \textless \ X \ \textless \ 46,000) = P(X \ \textless \ 46,000) - P(X \ \textless \ 42,000) \\ \\ P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{46,000-45,000}{2,360} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{42,000-45,000}{2,360} \right) \\ \\ =P(0.4237)-P(-1.271)=0.66412-0.10183=\bold{0.5623}$

b. Find the probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life of more than 50,000 miles.
The probability that a normally distributed data set with a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is greater than a numbers, a, is given by:
$P(X \ \textgreater \ a) = 1-P(X \ \textless \ a) \\ \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$
Given that the the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles a standard deviation of 2360 miles.
The probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life of more than 50,000 miles is given by:
$P(X \ \textgreater \ 50,000) = 1 - P(X \ \textless \ 50,000) \\ \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{50,000-45,000}{2,360} \right)=1-P(z\ \textless \ 2.1186) \\ \\ =1-0.98294=\bold{0.0171}$

Part C:

Find the probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life of less than 38,000 miles.
The probability that a normally distributed data set with a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is less than a numbers, a, is given by:
$P(X \ \textless \ a) =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$
Given that the the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles a standard deviation of 2360 miles.
The probability that randomly selected automobile tire has a tread life of less than 38,000 miles is given by:
$P(X \ \textless \ 38,000) = P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{38,000-45,000}{2,360} \right) \\ \\ =P(z\ \textless \ -2.966)=\bold{0.0015}$

d. Suppose that 6% of all automobile tires with the longest tread life have tread life of at least x miles. Find the value of x.
The probability that a normally distributed data set with a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is greater than a numbers, x, is given by:
$P(X \ \textgreater \ x) = 1-P(X \ \textless \ a) \\ \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$
Given that the the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2360 miles and that the probability that all automobile tires with the longest tread life have tread life of at least x miles is 6%.

Thus:
$P(X \ \textgreater \ x) =0.06 \\ \\ \Rightarrow1 - P(X \ \textless \ x)=0.06 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-45,000}{2,360} \right)=1-0.06=0.94 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-45,000}{2,360} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 1.555) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x-45,000}{2,360}=1.555 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x-45,000=2,360(1.555)=3,669.8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=3,669.8+45,000=48,669.8$
Therefore, the value of x is 48,669.8

e. Suppose that 2% of all automobile tires with the shortest tread life have tread life of at most x miles. Find the value of x.
The probability that a normally distributed data set with a mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ, is less than a numbers, x, is given by:
$P(X \ \textless \ x) =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$
Given that the the mean tread life of a properly inflated automobile tires is 45,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2360 miles and that the probability that all automobile tires with the longest tread life have tread life of at most x miles is 2%.

Thus:
$P(X \ \textless \ x)=0.02 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-45,000}{2,360} \right)=1-0.02=0.98 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-45,000}{2,360} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 2.054) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x-45,000}{-2,360}=2.054 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x-45,000=-2,360(2.054)=-4,847.44 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=-4,847.44+45,000=40,152.56$
Therefore, the value of x is 40,152.56

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
