Question

The average number of miles (in thousands) that a car's tire will function before needing replacement is 74 and the standard deviation is 11. Suppose that 17 randomly selected tires are tested. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible and assume a normal distribution. For the 17 tires tested, find the probability that the average miles (in thousands) before need of replacement is between 76.6 and 79.2.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
