Amanufacturer of tires wants to advertise a mileage interval that ex-cludes no more than 10% of the mileage on tires he sells. all he knowsis that, for a large number of tires tested, the mean mileage was 25,000miles, and the standard deviation was 4000 miles. what interval wouldyou suggest?

This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

All he knows is that, for a large number of tires tested, the mean mileage was 25,000 miles, and the standard deviation was 4000 miles. This means that .

A manufacturer of tires wants to advertise a mileage interval that ex-cludes no more than 10% of the mileage on tires he sells. What interval wouldyou suggest?

The lower end of this interval is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.90.  That is .

So

This mileage interval is from 30120 miles and higher.
