b. Brand B of car tyres, have a lifetime which is normally distributed. Records show that 11% of these tyres have a lifetime of more than 61,000 km while 20% become un-usable before travelling 42,500 km. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the lifetime of brand B, giving your answers to the nearest thousand km.
