A mechanic sells a brand of automobile tire that has a life expectancy that is normally distributed, with a mean life of 26,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2400 miles. He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately 10% of the tires? Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table, Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table, Tires that wear out by miles will be replaced free of charge. (Round to the nearest mile as needed.)

In your work as a biomedical engineer, you need to better understand the distribution of adults' blood pressures. Specifically, you are interested in systolic blood pressure, which is a measure of pressure within arteries when a heart beats; this is the first number in a blood pressure reading. In healthy adults, systolic blood pressure has a normal distribution with a mean of 112 mm Hg and standard deviation of 10 mmHg. Before you collect sample data, you want to predict the range in which you expect almost all of the data to fall. Which of the following represents the interval that will likely contain almost all (~99.7%) of the sample measurements of healthy adult systolic blood pressure? A) (102 mm Hg, 122 mm Hg) B) (92 mm Hg, 132 mm Hg) C) (82 mm Hg, 142 mm Hg) D) (72 mm Hg, 152 mm Hg)
