Question

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below the target pressure. Suppose the target tire pressure of a certain car is 32 psi (pounds per square inch.)

 

(a) At what psi will the TPMS trigger a warning for this car? (Round your answer to 2 decimal place.)

 

When the tire pressure is            (Click to select)   above   below   psi.

 

(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? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

 

Probability           

 

(c) The manufacturer’s recommended correct inflation range is 30 psi to 34 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? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.)
