Mileages for tires before they are replaced are normally distributed with mean 45,000 miles and standard deviation 1,800 miles. a.) What is the probability that tires will be replaced in under 32,000 miles? b.) If a company wants to offer a warranty so that only the bottom 3% of their tires get replaced, then for how many miles should the warranty for the tires be? Round to the nearest thousand miles.

48) At a tennis tournament a statistician keeps track of every serve. The statistician reported that the mean serve speed of a particular player was 97 miles per hour (mph) and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 11 mph. Assume that the statistician also gave us the information that the distribution of the serve speeds was bell shaped. What proportion of the player's serves are expected to be between 119 mph and 130 mph? A) 0.997 B) 0.0235 C) 0.95 D) 0.047

K A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.4 in and standard deviation 2.5 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in. a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall? b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?
