Expert Solution
Step 1

From the provided information,

Mean (µ) = 65

Standard deviation (σ) = 13

X~N (65, 13)

Step 2

c)

If a randomly selected individual tire is tested the probability that the number of miles (in thousands) before it will need replacement is between 64.2 and 66.8 can be obtained as:
