Answer

a. $0.55$ b. $-1,17$ c. $19690$, $123400$, $14090$

Work Step by Step

$\mu=14090$ and $\sigma=3500$ a. z score for 16,000 miles $z=\frac{16000-14090}{3500}=0.55$ b. z score for 10,000 miles $z=\frac{10000-14090}{3500}=-1,17$ c. Number of miles corresponding to z scores of 1.6, -0.5, and 0. $1.6=\frac{x1-14090}{3500}, x1=19690$ $-0.5=\frac{x2-14090}{3500}, x2=123400$ $x3=14090$
