A prototype automotive tire has a design life of 38,500 miles with a standard deviation of 2,500 Five such tires are manufactured and tested. On the assumption that the actual population mean is 38,500 miles and the actual population standard deviation is 2,500 miles, find the probability that the sample mean will be less than 35,000 miles. Assume that the distribution of lifetimes of such tires is normal.   A normally distributed population has mean 1,200 and standard deviation Find the probability that a single randomly selected element X of the population is between 1,100 and 1,300. Find the mean and standard deviation of X for samples of size Find the probability that the mean of a sample of size 25 drawn from this population is between

  1. A prototype automotive tire has a design life of 38,500 miles with a standard deviation of 2,500 Five such tires are manufactured and tested. On the assumption that the actual population mean is 38,500 miles and the actual population standard deviation is 2,500 miles, find the probability that the sample mean will be less than 35,000 miles. Assume that the distribution of lifetimes of such tires is normal.

 

  1. A normally distributed population has mean 1,200 and standard deviation
    • Find the probability that a single randomly selected element X of the population is between 1,100 and 1,300.
    • Find the mean and standard deviation of X for samples of size
    • Find the probability that the mean of a sample of size 25 drawn from this population is between 1,100 and 1,300.
