Question
Q5 A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20217 miles or “you get a new set of tires.”   
                       
  In its experience, a set of these tires lasts on average   26217 miles with standard deviation  5062 miles. 
                       
  Assume that the wear is normally distributed. The manufacturer profits Rs. 200 on  each set sold, and     
                       
  replacing a set costs the manufacturer Rs. 400.
