Question

The average number of miles (in thousands) that a car's tire will function before needing replacement is 64 and the standard deviation is 11. Suppose that 6 randomly selected tires are tested. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible and assume a normal distribution.

  1. What is the distribution of ¯xx¯? ¯xx¯ ~ N(,)
  2. If a randomly selected individual tire is tested, find the probability that the number of miles (in thousands) before it will need replacement is between 57.9 and 61.6. 
  3. For the 6 tires tested, find the probability that the average miles (in thousands) before need of replacement is between 57.9 and 61.6. 
  4. For part d), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary? YesNo
