### Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and Warning Triggers

#### Problem Statement:
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 27% below the target pressure. Suppose the target tire pressure of a certain car is 31 psi (pounds per square inch).

1. **Determine Warning Pressure:**
   - **(a) At what psi will the TPMS trigger a warning for this car?**
     - **Answer:** When the tire pressure is below \( \text{22.63 psi} \). (Rounded to 2 decimal places)

2. **Probability of Trigger Warning:**
   - **(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?**
     - **Answer:** 
        - Required rounded probability (Rounded your answer to 4 decimal places)

3. **Inflation Range and Probability:**
   - **(c) The manufacturer’s recommended correct inflation range is 29 psi to 33 psi. Assume the tires’ average psi is on target. If a tire on the car is inspected at random, what is the probability that the tire’s inflation is within the recommended range?**
     - **Answer:** 
        - Required probability within the range (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places)

#### Instructions for Solving:
1. **Calculate the Warning Pressure:**
   - Find 27% of the target pressure.
   - Subtract this value from the target pressure.

2. **Calculate the Probability of Triggering a Warning:**
   - Use the normal distribution properties.
   - Find the Z-score corresponding to 22.63 psi.
   - Use standard normal distribution tables or software to find the cumulative probability.

3. **Calculate Probability Within the Recommended Range:**
   - Establish the Z-scores for 29 psi and 33 psi.
   - Use standard normal distribution to find the probabilities corresponding to these Z-scores.
   - Calculate the probability that lies between these Z-scores.

#### Detailed Diagram Explanations (If Any):

In case there are graphs or diagrams involved in explaining the probabilities or distributions:
- **Normal Distribution Diagram:** Illustrate the bell-curve with the mean at 31 psi.
  - Indicate the region below 22.
