Disc Brake pads has a Normal distribution with a mean µ = 50,000 miles but with some unknown standard deviation σ . In a sample of n =16 pads is tested for their ‘life-times’ yield S = 2500 as the 
sample estimate σ . What is the probability that the sample average X16 exceeds 
49,000 miles, 
Pr( 49,000)=_________
