### Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) Alert Parameters

#### Problem Context
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 24% below the target pressure. Suppose the target tire pressure of a certain car is 29 psi (pounds per square inch).

#### Questions

**(a) At what psi will the TPMS trigger a warning for this car? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)**

**Answer:**
- When the tire pressure is below [\[Input Box\]] psi.

**Explanation:**
- To find the trigger pressure, calculate 24% of the target pressure (29 psi) and subtract the result from the target pressure:
  \[
  \text{Trigger Pressure} = 29 - (0.24 \times 29) = 29 - 6.96 = 22.04 \text{ psi}
  \]
  Enter "22.04" in the input box.

**(b) Suppose tire pressure is a normally distributed random variable with a standard deviation equal to 3 psi. If the car's average tire pressure is on target, what is the probability that the TPMS will trigger a warning? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)**

**Answer:**
- Probability: [\[Input Box\]]

**Explanation:**
- Given the average tire pressure is 29 psi and standard deviation is 3 psi, we need to find the probability that tire pressure falls below 22.04 psi.
- Convert the tire pressure value into a Z-score using the formula:
  \[
  Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}
  \]
  where \(X = 22.04\), \(\mu = 29\), and \(\sigma = 3\):
  \[
  Z = \frac{22.04 - 29}{3} = \frac{-6.96}{3} = -2.32
  \]
  Using the Z-table, find the probability corresponding to \(Z = -2.32\):
  \[
  \text{Probability} \approx 0.0102
  \]
  Enter "0.0102" in the input box.
