1. Let X denote the lifespan (in km) of a randomly selected tyre  X ~ N 40000, 3000
45400 40000
(a) For X  45400  Z   1.80
3000
Hence, P X  45400  PZ  1.80  1  PZ  1.80  1  0.9641 0.0359
38500 40000
(b) For X 1  38500  Z1   0.50
3000
41500 40000
For X 2  41500  Z 2   0.50
3000
Hence, P38500 X  41500  P 0.50  Z  0.50
 PZ  0.50  PZ  0.50
 0.6915  0.3085
 0.3830
(c) Let X denote the mean lifespan (in km) of a random sample of 16 tyres
 3000
 X ~ N  40000,   N 40000, 750
 16 
41500 40000
For X  41500  Z   2.00

Hence, PX  41500  PZ  2.00  1  PZ  2.00  1  0.9772  0.0228
38500 40000
(d) For X 1  38500  Z1   2.00

41500 40000
For X 2  41500  Z 2   2.00
750
Hence, P38500 X  41500  P 2.00  Z  2.00
 PZ  2.00  PZ  2.00
