A certain brand of tires of automobile tires has a mean life spanof 35,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2250 miles. (Assume thelife spans of the tires have a bell-shaped distribution.)

(a) The life spans of the three randomly selected tires are 34,000miles, 37,000 miles, and 31,000 miles. Find the z-score thatcorresponds to each life span. According to the z-scores, would thelife span of any of these tires be considered unusual?

(b) The life span of three randomly selected tires are 30,500miles, 37,250 miles, and 35,000 miles. Using the Empirical Rule, find the percentile that corresponds to each life span.

For part A I understand how to find the z-scores by using theequation: Z = X - μ / σ

34,000 miles z-score = -.44
37,000 miles z-score = .88
31,000 miles z-score = -1.77

If any of the z-scores are wrong please let me know and I alsounderstand whether or not the scores are considered unusual. Forthis care the scores are not considered unusual because they fallbetween -2 and 2.

I needed help for part B, I don't know where to begin withfinding the percentiles.
